Over the last few years, Ryan Reynolds has done some huge budget action films like the two Deadpools, Free Guy, and Red Alert. However, the Christmas musical he just finished filming with Will Ferrell convinced him to take a hiatus from acting.
That’s a wrap for me on Spirited. Not sure I’d have been ready to say yes to a film this challenging even three years ago.
Singing, dancing and playing in the sandbox with Will Ferrell made a whole lotta dreams come true. And this is my second film with the great Octavia Spencer…
Perfect time for a little sabbatical from movie making. I’m gonna miss every second working with this obscenely gifted group of creators and artists.
These days, kindness matters as much as talent. I’ve been lucky to work with folks who are flush with both.
Even though he will not be acting, he will have plenty of other things to keep him busy, like his wife, Blake Lively, his three young daughters, his companies Aviation Gin and Mint Mobile. and his rivalry with Hugh Jackman. Maybe now they can finally go to couple’s therapy and work on their issues.
As sad as I am that Reynolds won’t be acting for a while, I know he earned the time off. Although, didn’t he get a break during the pandemic? Actors.
