Deadpool & Wolverine's worldwide premiere was more than just an ordinary star-studded event; it was a dream-come-true moment for someone beyond the movie. Attendees were delighted to witness the beloved boy band NSYNC reunite on the red carpet, but none more so than Blake Lively. The actress recently shared a group photo on her Instagram story featuring JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Joey Fatone alongside Ryan Reynolds, capturing a moment that took her 36-year-old self on a nostalgic trip back to her 10-year-old days.

"I am living in a simulation," wrote Lively in her caption, as she found herself at a loss for words to describe the moment. For Lively, this gesture cemented Reynolds as "the most romantic person on the planet," and rightly so, given the millennial obsession with the boy band. While fans initially thought Deadpool & Wolverine was about meeting Reynolds' superhero dreams, he killed two birds with a stone, making the premiere a night that also fulfilled his wife's millennial dreams.

At the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere on Monday, while fans eagerly watched Blake Lively's Lady Deadpool-like attire in anticipation of a hint about the most-anticipated cameo, Ryan Reynolds surprised everyone by addressing another hot topic of the year: the name of their fourth child, welcomed in February 2023. After months of playful secrecy, Reynolds finally revealed the name, Olin, while on stage, cheering for his family, including his children James, Inez, Betty, and the newly revealed Olin.

"I love that my entire family is here," he said during his speech, acknowledging their presence. Previously, the couple humorously redirected questions about the baby's name to Taylor Swift, suggesting fans look for clues in her latest album, 'The Tortured Poets Department'. However, it turned out that all one needed was to wait for the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere, as Reynolds delivered on his promise for a night full of surprises.
