Ryan Reynolds roasted over ‘sickening’ TIME cover as fans are suspicious over how he and Blake Lively landed honor

Fans have playfully criticized Ryan Reynolds for his unusual TIME magazine cover, with some making surprising speculations about how he managed to secure such a high-profile feature.

48-year-old actor Ryan Reynolds, known for his role as Deadpool and involved in an ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni alongside his wife Blake Lively, was highlighted in an article called “Ryan Reynolds: Redefining the Playbook for Celebrity Business Innovators.

Over the past few years, Reynolds has ventured into the corporate realm, establishing a production company and advertising agency called Maximum Effort. Remarkably, this venture has earned a spot on Time Magazine’s list of the 100 most impactful companies.

Yet, Reynolds’ disclosures regarding constructing prosperous enterprises through leveraging his popularity and the practice of ‘cross-promotion’ (having businesses he controls to endorse one another) were swiftly criticized by fans who assertively suggested he had “purchased” his magazine cover placement.

Reynolds faced criticism as well for the unconventional cover that displayed only the back of his head, a decision he explained was made to avoid drawing attention away from his team.

He wrote that he repeatedly urged them to take this picture, and the main reason was that Maximum Effort isn’t me.

This small yet formidable pirate vessel is skillfully navigated by an exceptional, energetic, and imaginative crew, recognized as the best across our entire world.

Supporters expressed their disapproval of the celebrity on social media, with one commenting: “Apparently, we were compensated for featuring Ryan Reynolds on the cover of this magazine! Ha ha.

A different person commented, ‘Ryan Reynolds put in maximum effort to rewrite the script,’ which is quite ironic considering all the things that have come to light about him.

Others wrote: ‘They continuously acquire self-promotion, which is both tiring and nauseating.’

‘How to boycott everything Maximum Effort does??? God I loathe this man.

‘That cash envelope from Reynolds must have been HUUGE.

‘Very barf. $$$$$.

Others commended the individual for their accomplishments – various businesses they co-own or have sold are estimated to be worth more than $14 billion by Forbes, as expressed by a follower: “You’re an extraordinary entrepreneur. Everything you involve yourself in appears to soar.

‘Love to see this!!! Maximum Effort really is the best of the best!

In addition, the extensive interview found Reynolds discussing aspects of his family life with Lively, including their four little ones. He expressed that they aid him in concentrating on what truly matters in life.

He expressed that his sense of worth derives significantly from being a father of four and having a strong, loving marriage. It’s important to note that he doesn’t rely on these aspects alone for his self-worth; they are simply significant contributors within the confines of his household.

During our conversation, Lively unexpectedly joined us, casually strolling in wearing leggings and a large shirt. She was on the lookout for her preferred treat – sour dried blueberries that have a tangy Warheads-like flavor.

Additionally, she playfully reprimanded her spouse when he assisted her in searching for a snack, commenting it was “consuming your time.” Later on, she reached out to the celebrity to arrange their schedules for a brief “10-minute chat session.

Despite refusing to comment on the current phase of their legal dispute, Reynolds expressed that he can effortlessly disengage from “unimportant” online discussions.

He mentioned: “I could come across statements like, ‘He deserves to be drawn and quartered.’ or ‘I should receive a Nobel Prize.’ Both sentences hold no significance.

We’re all made up of more than just our finest moments, and we’re not solely defined by our darkest hours. Instead, we embody a blend of experiences that fall somewhere in between.

He stated: ‘Accessibility and accountability are crucial elements in my approach. Those I collaborate with are well aware of me, so such matters are never a concern. By maintaining a strong set of values and integrity, you’ll find support. On the contrary, if you act poorly, you won’t. This principle is quite straightforward.’

In December 2024, allegations of sexual harassment against Justin Baldoni by Blake Lively on set were made, which he denied. This led to a lawsuit being filed by Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios against Lively, her representative Leslie Sloane, and Ryan Reynolds for making defamatory statements.

Later on, Baldoni retaliated by filing a $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times in response to their bombshell New Year’s Eve report, which contained Lively’s accusations.

In early March, a judge ruled against Baldoni’s defamation lawsuit, dealing a significant setback to the actor. However, his legal team will be permitted to review Lively’s text messages with Taylor Swift – who was once referred to as ‘my dragon’ by Blake in an alleged attempt to intimidate Baldoni – as a subpoena aimed at the singer directly was withdrawn.

Currently, at Cannes Lions, Reynolds stepped onto Stagwell’s Sport Beach stage, showcasing his soccer team, Wrexham AFC. In a surprising turn of events, he made an off-the-beaten-path joke that caused quite a stir.

As Deadpool’s actor playfully handed a water bottle to an audience member, he quipped, “I’m not tossing this. I’ve dealt with lawyers; you’re welcome to come up and get it yourself,” Page Six reports.

Additionally, he paused for a brief contemplation, considering the unifying power of sports amidst a global landscape marred by discord, as reported by the source.

In our current society, identity politics have become almost like a deeply held belief, similar to a religion, according to Reynolds. To maintain harmony in fields such as sports, theater, cinema, and music events, it’s essential that these beliefs are left outside the door, promoting unity as we enter together.

Reynolds added, ‘We’re all feeling the same thing at the same time and the same moment.

‘You have this bonding mechanism — and I don’t mean to over romanticize it, but it’s romantic. 

‘It’s truly heartwarming to see unity among people, even more so when it seems like we’re apart in so many other facets of our existence.’

Following an exclusive report on DailyMail.com, it has been determined that Baldoni’s legal team can review a batch of conversations between Blake and Taylor, focusing on messages regarding “It Ends With Us.” All relevant correspondence concerning this matter will now be under examination.

In the past few months, Swift and Lively’s bond seems to have significantly deteriorated. The singer is reportedly extremely upset over being embroiled in the ongoing situation.

Additionally, it’s not just her who found herself in a similar situation. Last week, The Daily Mail disclosed that the subpoena against her was withdrawn because Baldoni’s legal team obtained the required details – directly from her father Scott, aged 73.

According to the source, Scott Swift chose to disclose the information willingly as part of an arrangement which involved Baldoni’s team retracting their subpoena for Taylor, since he didn’t want his daughter to be drawn deeper into this situation.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it this way: When my talented pop star daughter found herself in a tricky situation involving alleged blackmail attempts by Lively’s legal team, I, her caring father and key architect of her billion-dollar empire as her financial advisor, sprang into action to lend her support.

In a legal document submitted recently by Baldoni’s legal team, it was disclosed that Lively’s representatives were accused of trying to force Swift into making a public declaration backing Baldoni, which could be considered as an act of intimidation or undue influence.

According to what Michael Gottlieb, Lively’s attorney, declared, he reached out to Swift’s team and requested that she issue a statement expressing support for Ms. Lively. He hinted that if Ms. Swift declined to do so, he might disclose some private text messages belonging to Ms. Lively.

As a die-hard Swiftie, I’ve heard whispers that her team retaliated against Gossip Girl sensation Blake Lively’s supposedly unacceptable and seemingly blackmailing messages directed at Gottlieb. This information is reportedly contained in a written correspondence.
