What did Ryan Reynolds say during the interview?
US Weekly claims that the Deadpool actor instead talked to host Stephen about the upcoming fourth season of his show, Welcome to Wrexham, without addressing the ongoing drama involving his wife and the director.
Regarding the show, which chronicles the peaks and valleys of the Welsh football team he co-owns, Ryan described game attendance as "mayhem."
'It's the unfathomable joy and ecstasy that permeates the world in which we currently live. There is a hate tank online where we live.'
'Concerts and sports and films and places where we gather together' are places that inspire communities to come together, he continued.
In the meantime, Ryan tried to win over some fans with a cute segment featuring rescue puppies, despite the continuous criticism directed at him and his wife, Blake, due to her legal troubles.
Ryan made no mention of his wife's problems while he joyfully talked about his own projects and played with adorable puppies. Later, the movie star left the studio looking a little tense, but he made sure to wave warmly to fans as he headed to his car, as per a report.
When Blake Lively accused Justin Baldoni of sexually harassing her and launching a public relations campaign to damage her reputation, the drama erupted in December. Lively, her husband Ryan, and the New York Times, which published her original complaint, were all named in his $400 million defamation lawsuit in retaliation.
All parties refute the accusations made against them, but Blake's name has been dragged through the mud in the growing legal dispute.
The A-lister has received little support, at least not in public, despite fans' expectations that her famous friends, such as Taylor Swift, would leap to her defence.
