The cinematic landscape witnessed the ascending of Ryan Reynolds into the comedy genre long back. Having been the quick-witted person who complements his roles like none other, his recurrence in the humor category has been much appreciated. Back in 2008, Reynolds starred in one of the timeless rom-com flicks that garnered large-scale encouragement with his role in Definitely, Maybe.

While opening up about his on-screen partnership with Abigail Breslin, Reynolds had the most adorable response to offer.

One of the most interesting things about Ryan Reynolds is how deeply he delves into character development to suit his cinematic presence. The same was also observed in Definitely, Maybe. In an interview with Cinema.com, Reynolds revealed what his experience depicting Abigail Breslin’s father was like. His response of “She makes it easy” surely won him fan hearts.

Reynolds emphasized that “every father-daughter relationship is different.” Therefore, to keep it real, he had to “let it be authentic on-screen.” Adding a little more to it, he confessed that it was not his intention to be “cutesy”. But unlike his original plan, the tale of the father-daughter relationship carried much weight and adoration when Definitely, Maybe was released back in 2008.

Ryan Reynolds’ joke about his home becoming a “zoo” with the birth of his fourth child never missed the thread of fun. However, back then, he had expressed how he “would love to have children someday”. On being asked if the Deadpool actor had a “baby fever” he confessed to having a “blast” playing the part in reel life.

Additionally, Reynolds also admitted that he had naturally grown “protective” of her. This trait is also very true of his current family scenario. Furthermore, he stressed how he never advocated forcing the “dynamic”. Instead, he took the decision to just “let it be.” His approach seemed to have worked since their on-screen dwellings had nurtured a natural vision against an imitation.
