In Hollywood, a key to success is to choose roles that suit the actor. Some actors have an innate understanding of the characters they excel at portraying. Will Smith, for example, rarely takes on villainous roles. On the other hand, we have Ryan Reynolds who boasts a diverse career and a razor-sharp wit. He achieved the seemingly impossible by bringing Deadpool to life, infusing the character with a unique blend of sarcasm and superhero egotism.

Standing with the King of Comedy title, Reynolds honored the undying legacy of Robin Williams and showcased his penchant for bringing laughter at a star-studded event.

Reynolds, a maestro of sarcasm and wit, consistently displays his razor-sharp humor not just on screen but also in his everyday life. His ability to use the art of the roast as his affectionate expression towards Blake Lively is a testament to his unique love language. So, it is no surprise that he enjoyed “being roasted” by some of the funniest folks on the planet. This memorable evening unfolded when the Green Lantern star was honored with the prestigious Robin Williams Legacy of Laughter Award at the 11th Annual Revels & Revelations fundraiser.

Williams’ children, Zak, Zelda, and Cody, presented the award to the actor. The night featured a stand-up comedy act by the hilarious Amy Schumer. In a heartfelt post, Reynolds underlined the event’s noble cause: breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness. To further emphasize the rollicking fun he had, Reynolds added, “being roasted all night by some of the funniest people on earth was something I’ll never forget… without the help of a hypnotist.” He also expressed profound gratitude for their efforts in turning his legacy into a vibrant reality.

In an exclusive interview with People in 2021, Reynolds discussed his experience with online trolling while promoting his movie The Free Guy. When asked about trolling, the actor humorously responded that he lives with one. His wife, Lively, trolls the daylights out of him. Given the ample amount of evidence on the Internet, no one raised a finger at the claim.

Reynolds is the loving father to four children. Three of whom are daughters, whose names are —James, Inez, and Betty. The actor went on to mention that even his own daughters have joined the trolling fun. Not only does his twin brother roasts him but also his daughters, who make him a prime target for family humor. Considering he faces an onslaught of trolling within the confines of his own household, online trolls have nothing on Ryan Reynolds.
