As a gamer with a keen eye for celebrity news and a deep respect for the working class, I must admit that Ryan Reynolds‘ recent comments about his and Blake Lively’s upbringing have left me somewhat puzzled and disappointed.
In simpler terms, the star of Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds, and his wife Blake Lively have received criticism from fans due to some comments made by Reynolds about their childhood that he shared in a recent interview. This statement has piqued the interest of many internet users, who are eagerly seeking out what exactly he said.
Here’s all you need to know about Reynolds’ “working class” comment.
Ryan Reynolds and wife Blake Lively face backlash over their comment
Ryan Reynolds shared with The Hollywood Reporter that he and his wife Blake Lively came from humble, working-class backgrounds, contrasting with their four children’s upbringing. He recollected, “Growing up, we were very much working class, and I would often think, ‘Wow, I wouldn’t have had this talent as a child,’ or ‘I never could have afforded takeout.’ But then I understood that it wasn’t their burden to bear.
Some fans took offense when the actor known for playing Deadpool and Wolverine made comments suggesting that Blake Lively came from a “working class” background, given her family’s history of success in the entertainment industry. Blake Lively’s father Ernie was an actor who appeared in numerous shows and movies such as The Waltons, The X-Files, and Turner & Hooch. Her mother Elaine worked as a talent manager and also acted, appearing in the 1993 video game Return to Zork.
Fans expressed their disappointment with Reynolds’ remarks publicly on social media. They left comments under a post from The Cut which featured his exact quote. One fan commented, “Ryan and Blake are so disconnected and yearning to be perceived as down-to-earth it’s sad.” Another user stated that Reynolds’ words and the circumstances surrounding them made many feel they were struggling financially.
In a 2006 RadioFree interview, she acknowledged that her family’s influence played a significant role in her career. She revealed that she spent much of her childhood on film sets, implying a familiarity with the industry from an early age.
