An ordinary guy from Canada, Ryan Reynolds, tried in every possible way to get into the world of big cinema. On his way, there were many obstacles and luck did not immediately smile on the novice actor. Now Ryan is in demand, successful and popular. But where did it all start?
Childhood and youth of Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds was born in Vancouver (Canada) and became the 4th child of Tammy and Jim Reynolds. Father Jim Chester Reynolds decided to leave the Royal Mounted Police after the birth of Ryan and went into wholesale trade, Tammy’s mother worked all her life as a cashier in a store.
In the third grade of elementary school, Ryan began to show his creative potential and participate in school plays. The actor got his first role at the age of 13 in the Nickelodeon TV series Fifteen in Florida. The filming of the series lasted only 2 years, but during this time the aspiring actor received the award “Best Young Actor on Cable TV”.
After returning back to Vancouver, the aspiring actor continued his studies at school and simultaneously took part in several more projects, among them the Odyssey series, the feature film Ordinary Miracle, and an episode of The X-Files.
After graduating from high school in 1994, Ryan entered Kvountlin Technical University, but his studies there did not last long. Shortly after entering, he took the documents and decided to follow his acting dream.
Career
Ryan Reynolds left university behind and moved to Los Angeles to build a career as an actor. But in life, not everything is as simple as it seems – on the very first day, the young man’s car was stolen. At the castings, he was also unlucky, no one believed in the creative potential of a novice actor. But luck smiled and Ryan was invited to shoot the tape “My name is Kate.”
The real success of the actor brought the role of school handsome Seth in the TV series Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Everyone saw an excellent comedian in Ryan and offers of new roles were not long in coming. Among them is the role in the movie “Pig in a Poke”, where Ryan appears completely naked.
Walt Becker, the director of The Pig in a Poke, was impressed with Ryan’s performance and immediately approved him for the lead role in his next film, The Party King. The film caused a real sensation and grossed almost $40 million at the box office. For several years, Ryan Reynolds was exclusively a comedian.
Everything changed the role in the third part of the film “Blade” by David Goyer. For the role, Ryan had to gain 10 kg of muscle, which greatly surprised the fans. Ryan’s next roles were completely different from each other – he was a gangster protégé in “Trump Aces” and an exemplary family man in “Chaos Theory”. In 2014, the actor got a role in the film “Voices”, where he played the modest janitor Jerry, talking to his pets. This role has been repeatedly compared by critics to the role of Christian Bale in the film American Psycho.

In parallel, Ryan played an imaginary friend of the writer in the film “Paper Man”. Although the film is not about superheroes, Ryan’s character constantly walked around in a Superman costume. In 2011, the actor was waiting for the film adaptation of the Green Lantern comic book, where he played the main role, playing a military pilot who suddenly received superpowers.
Three years later, Reynolds returned to the role of the beloved character of Wade Wilson, already known as Deadpool. The shooting was not easy, the actor was given a lot of tasks since the film is rather unusual, but Ryan believes that playing Deadpool is his destiny.
