Ryan Reynolds wore a fat suit in Just Friends movie
Fans who are intrigued may find it interesting that Ryan Reynolds, known for his role as Deadpool, sported an amusingly bulky costume in the film Just Friends. Besides Reynolds, this 2005 romantic comedy also stars Amy Smart, Anna Faris, Chris Klein, and Christopher Marquette. A video of him detailing the process of putting on the suit during filming has recently become popular online.
In Just Friends, Reynolds plays the role of Chris Brander, a high school senior who is on the heavier side. He declares his feelings for his best friend Jamie Palamino in her yearbook, but things don’t turn out as planned when Jamie’s former boyfriend Tim discovers the note and humiliates Chris by publicly reading it at their graduation celebration.
Additionally, Chris receives a gentle peck on the cheek from Jamie, indicating affection but not returning his affections. Moved to tears, he swears he’ll never come back again and pledges to surpass everyone in success. The film illustrates the remarkable evolution of the main character over a decade-long period.
Originally a timid, heavyset teenager in small-town America, Chris transforms into a charismatic record producer with a flair for romance, now residing in the bustling city of Los Angeles. However, due to an unexpected turn of events, he finds himself back in his humble hometown, where a string of unpredictable incidents unfolds.
In terms of Roger Kumble’s 2005 romantic comedy, it continues to be a favorite among fans. As for the film itself, one enthusiast on Reddit commented, “If you’re seeking a rom-com and want to catch an early performance by Ryan Reynolds in a fat suit, then this is the movie for you.
The first person commended the film, stating, “It’s one of his best romantic comedies from that era. I found myself laughing frequently.” A second spectator added, “I’d happily watch this movie repeatedly; it’s delightful!
Furthermore, during promotional events, Ryan Reynolds shared insights about the challenge of donning a weighty costume for a character. This Canadian performer disclosed that the process took a grueling three hours. Interestingly, putting on the suit led Reynolds to gain a new understanding.
The actor of Free Guy stated, “It was wonderful to stop hiding my true self.” He also reminisced about his high school years, saying, “In essence, I’m still that shy teenager who girls didn’t notice.” (via Slate)
