In a recent interview, Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds revealed that he had been lying to his young daughters about his role as the popular superhero, Deadpool. Reynolds, who plays the foul-mouthed and edgy character in the Deadpool movies, shared that he had been telling his daughters that he was away on a business trip whenever they asked about his work on the film.
The Canadian actor explained that his daughters, aged 6 and 4, are too young to watch the R-rated movies, which contain strong language and violent scenes. He acknowledged that it was a challenge to explain to them that he played a superhero who uses bad language and has a dark sense of humor.
Therefore, in order to shield his daughters from the inappropriate content, Reynolds simply lied to them.
Reynolds, who is known for his witty and humorous remarks, further mentioned that he hopes his daughters will never watch the Deadpool movies. He admitted that it might be a while before they are old enough to fully understand and appreciate the films.
This revelation by Reynolds offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by parents in navigating age-appropriate content with their children. It highlights the balance that some parents must strike between being honest with their children and protecting them from potentially harmful or inappropriate material.
In Reynolds' case, this has led him to fib about his iconic role, Deadpool, to his own kids.
