In our article I would like to talk about the famous Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds. Let's look at how his path to recognition as a talented artist began. What successful films did the actor star in? What is known about his personal life?
Childhood and youth
Ryan Reynolds was born on October 23, 1976 in the city of Vancouver, Canada. The father of our hero at that time served in the detachment of mounted police. Mother was engaged in trading in one of the city's retail stores. In addition to Ryan, parents raised three more sons.
From an early age, the boy began to demonstrate outstanding artistic abilities, despite the fact that before no one in the family had any relation to the world of cinema and art in general. Even in the elementary grades of the school, the guy, together with his comrades, organized a comedy group called "Yellow Snow". Together, friends played comedy scenes and tried in every way to amuse schoolchildren.
When little Ryan turned 13, he found out about the upcoming cast for the teenage television project Fifteen Years, which was scheduled to launch on the popular Nickelodeon channel. Parents agreed to take their son to the casting. As a result, young Ryan Reynolds was approved for the role of a schoolboy named Billy Simpson. The newly made artist starred in the series for several years. After the project was closed, our hero was awarded the honorary award "Best Young Actor on Cable Television".
This was followed by several more roles in the films Odyssey, Ordinary Magic, as well as an episodic appearance in the cult series The X-Files, where our hero was lucky enough to be on the same set with the stars of the project Gilian Andersen and David Dukhovny.
In 1994, Ryan Reynolds received a certificate of secondary education, after which he entered Quintlin University. It should be noted that student life quickly got bored with the young man. Part of the reason for this was the guy’s focus on realizing the dream of becoming an actor. Instead of attending boring classes at the university, Ryan Reynolds devoted time to all kinds of side jobs. The young man got a job as a seller in a grocery store, and then tried the profession of a bartender.
Carier start
Ryan Reynolds was not destined to graduate. Having abandoned his studies, the young man went to conquer Hollywood, because in the future he could not imagine himself anywhere except on the set surrounded by stars of the first magnitude. The guy took the documents from the school and went to Los Angeles to meet his cherished dream.
Once left to his own devices in the metropolis, Reynolds fell into despair for a while. However, our hero was lucky to make acquaintance with another aspiring actor - Chris Martin. Thanks to a joint visit to the castings, Ryan was soon approved for a role in the film "My Name is Kate." Then followed a whole series of filming in small projects, which allowed the actor to attract attention from respected directors.
Actor's finest hour
The real breakthrough took place in the career of a young artist in 2002, when Reynolds was approved for a central role in the sparkling comedy “The King of Parties”. The result of the actor’s participation in the creation of the project exceeded all expectations. The film was a success at the box office around the world, and the fees for the film amounted to about $ 40 million.
Over the next decade, a promising actor increasingly got serious roles. During this period, our hero managed to light up in such popular films as “Harold and Kumar go ahead”, “Blade: Trinity”, “Just Friends”, “Horror of Amitville”, “Yes, no, probably.” Then the filmography of Ryan Reynolds was replenished with extremely successful films “Buried Alive”, “Green Lantern”, “Access Code“ Cape Town ”. Once again, the actor was able to confirm his stellar status thanks to the filming of the films Deadpool, Alive, and Killer Bodyguard.
Personal life
In the early 2000s, the actor began an affair with the popular singer Alanis Morisset. Young people seemed like an ideal couple, because they were connected by a host of interests, as well as Canadian citizenship. Soon Reynolds made the girl an offer. However, Morisset was frightened of the obligations and decided to part with the actor.
In May 2008, Ryan announced to the public about a relationship with Scarlett Johansson. Then the wedding followed. It would seem that an idyll reigned in the family life of famous artists. In fact, the constant employment of spouses on the set negatively affected the relationship. In 2011, a divorce took place, after which Johansson went to another actor - Sean Penn.
Reynolds is currently married to actress Blake Lively. Happy spouses are raising their daughters - James and Iness.
