Ryan Reynolds made light of his desire to duct tape an iPad to the faces of his children.
Ryan Reynolds should really think about giving up acting and gin-slinging in order to focus on comedy full-time. When the father of three—and one more on the way—sat down for a TV interview, he brought the dad humor, man. In addition to making jokes about wanting to duct tape an iPad to his children’s faces, the Deadpool actor also discussed kidnapping and the pernicious effects of school supplies through capitalism. Oh, and he also tipped off that using a crossbow to track down their parents would be his kids’ favorite summertime pastime.
The 45-year-old recently stopped by the Live with Ryan and Kelly set for a fun chat, much to the delight of the New York studio audience. He talked about his life with his daughters, James, 6, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2, whom he has with wife Blake Lively, as well as his comeback to the big screen.
Reynolds went on a humorous parenting tirade after co-host Kelly Ripa said that her kids used to get thrilled about getting pencil cases and back-to-school “stuff.”
“Don’t you see that as nothing more than traditional bribery? Yes, we will be returning to school. I’m going to try to take advantage of you. We’re also going to acquire all this unnecessary stuff that you won’t ever look at again. And that will facilitate the transfer.
“We are going to feed our developing minds. There is nothing superior to that. Yes, he said, maintaining his snarky demeanor.
Reynolds delivered this incredibly realistic one-liner right as it appeared like his comedy routine was coming to an end: “I know it’s generally frowned upon, but if I could I would just duct tape an iPad to their faces.”
With understandable annoyance, the girl dad exclaimed, “Everything has a screen!” “There’s like a screen on the back of a box of Cheerios that you buy!”
A funny clip of the interaction was recently shared on the Live with Ryan and Kelly official Instagram account. The caption accompanying the upload said, “Back to school excitement 😂😂😂 @vancityreynolds #RyanReynolds.”
During his year-long hiatus, the Green Lantern actor claimed that he spent the summer at home with his children and that it was the most memorable summer he had ever had as a family. He argued that his children love everyday activities and are just like ordinary people. “They are coloring and drawing. He made a joke, “They’re having their dance parties and using a crossbow to ԋunt their parents in the woods.”
Reynolds’s position as the lone man in an all-female family has become somewhat of a joke. In a Cannes interview, he quipped that his girls are so wild that he believes they have rabies. He also makes jokes on Twitter.
Things are only going to get wilder and busier for this 𝔞nxious parent with another baby on the way. Reynolds returning to work to produce big-budget films is unfortunate. That individual ought to look into other job opportunities and think about becoming a parenting instructor.
We have a suspicion that there would be a sizable waiting list for this extremely attractive instructor. Additionally, parents must learn how to outpace their kids who are proficient with crossbows.
