Oh, that Ryan Reynolds, hey – what a joker.

Following the success of Deadpool, and Deadpool 2, the Canadian actor has maintained a carefully crafted, and clearly very profitable, public persona.

In Vancouver, his hometown, there’s even a petition – Name a Vancouver Street After Ryan Reynolds – started by radio DJs from 104.9 KiSS RADiO.

It lists his charitable efforts in 2020 thus far, and whilst the city usually only names streets after people who have passed away, the petition notes that “there have been exceptions PLUS technically Ryan Reynolds is Dead(pool)”.

Just the one snafu – Reynolds himself isn’t exactly chomping at the bit to see his name up in streetlights:

Very kind but hard pass. If traffic sucks everyone will say, “Ryan Reynolds is a mess” or “Ryan Reynolds is really backed up”.

My brothers would enjoy this too much.

Yeah, that’s it.

That’s basically the entire story right there.

Like I said, that Ryan Reynolds, hey?

If you feel a little cheated, you could always read about why Reynolds and fellow actor Rob McElhenney (the guy from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia) recently bought Welsh football club Wrexham A.F.C, which competes in the National League, the fifth tier of the English football league system.

It’s from way outta left field, but it’s also weirdly on-brand.
