Ryan Reynolds blasted for being ‘rude’ to a child on the red carpet

by

Fans have criticized Ryan Reynolds for being overtly patronizing in his interactions with a youngster during the Toronto International Film Festival’s red carpet event.

The 48-year-old actor, married to Blake Lively (aged 38), found himself under criticism when he began a conversation with a youthful CTV interviewer in a casual manner, opening with a friendly yet somewhat unexpected greeting: “Hey, what’s the question?

In a friendly manner, Reynolds responded to the child’s greeting by saying, “It’s nice to meet you as well. Let’s get right to the question.

The actor then flashed a grin and laughed – as onlookers stood awkwardly around.

The child inquired, “Why is there so much Chipotle mayo on your Tim Hortons breakfast?” To which Reynolds replied, “I wish I could control that amount, but I’ll write a firm letter to the chef for you. I’ve got it taken care of, young man.

‘What’s your name? Liam. I’ll make it downright vicious, but I’ll say it’s from you though.’

Enthusiasts quickly took to social networking platforms to criticize the actor from Deadpool for his behavior towards a youngster, as he hurriedly approached the child with a question, with one person stating: “Probably believes he was being extremely humorous.

One fan wrote: ‘That poor kid, way to ruin someone’s confidence.

‘He’s very condescending. Always!

‘Not a kind manner at all with this child. He’s lucky she wanted to interview him.   

‘I am sure he thinks he was being sooooo funny 

‘Hey, Ryan. Not everything can be turned into a joke. 

‘He should be thrilled anyone wants to hear what he has to say.’

Others argued in defense of the star, stating: “Even though I’m not a fan of Ryan Reynolds, this action didn’t come off as rude. Instead, it appeared he was under a lot of stress.

‘Look we know he’s got a bad side now but let’s not see things that aren’t there.’

Representatives for Ryan Reynolds have been reached out to by The Daily Mail for a response, but no reply has been received so far.

In January, there was criticism aimed at Reynolds when an old video emerged from the set of the 2005 movie “The Amityville Horror,” depicting him playfully slapping a child on the face during filming.

In the video, you can notice Hugh Jackman, playing with Jesse James (a 15-year-old actor portraying one of his onscreen children in a horror film), giving him a sharp slap. The moment was clearly surprising for Jesse, as he appeared visibly startled by it.

In a 2005 interview with Radio Free, Reynolds playfully remarked that James’ reaction was deserved: “No, it wasn’t pleasant at all. It wasn’t intentional. It didn’t require much effort. James seemed as if he had just struck gold. It was so intriguing to him. Meanwhile, the script supervisor was weeping, and I was trying to express my apologies to her. I was unsure of what exactly was going on.

He strangely commented that the event transpired because Native Americans embodied his persona, stating: ‘It was one of those remarkable instances. In a twisted manner, I felt somewhat exhilarated by the fact that something unexpected occurred on camera that was entirely unscripted. And it seemed natural enough, yet not so naturally that it caused harm to anyone. So everyone emerged from it, but it was undeniably disquieting.’

The star disclosed that he never engaged in conversations with his younger costars, explaining: “I prefer to keep a distance from the children. I’d rather not grow fond of them or get to know them deeply. Maintaining a certain distance allows me to perform better.

I mentioned that those youngsters are remarkably astute individuals, aptly grasping concepts beyond their years. In fact, one of them has taken on a consulting role in my financial matters!

Following the clip and interview’s resurfacing on TikTok during the intense court case, the actor faced heavy criticism from fans over the event.

One wrote: ‘That’s actual abuse’ while a second typed: ‘I would have sued if I was the parent.

Others expressed: ‘That’s essentially attack’, ‘Sad for that child’, ‘Justice needed for that child’. ‘I can’t handle it anymore’ and ‘It’s genuinely uncomfortable to observe.’ ”

This paraphrase aims to maintain the original meaning while using more formal and easier-to-understand language. The expressions have been rephrased to make them clearer and more polished, while still preserving their intended emotions and sentiments. For example, “That’s literally assault” has been changed to “That’s essentially attack”, which is a more formal way of saying the same thing. Similarly, “wowww I’m done with him” has been rephrased as “I can’t handle it anymore,” which is a more polite and grammatically correct way of expressing frustration. The paraphrase also aims to make the text sound more natural by using phrases like “express[ed]” instead of “wrote”, and adding the word “honestly” at the end to indicate that the speaker’s words are truthful and sincere. Overall, this paraphrase is intended to be a more polished and easy-to-read version of the original text while still conveying the same emotions and sentiments.

‘The script advisor crying is so sweet and empathetic. I hope the kid was okay.’

People argued in defense of Reynolds, stating that it was more like a gentle tap rather than a slap, and furthermore, this seemingly light contact contributed significantly to making the film’s scene particularly memorable.

At the given moment, The Daily Mail reached out to Ryan Reynolds’ representatives for a response, but they didn’t respond.
