Published 10/31/2024, 11:55 PM EDT

Ryan Reynolds' filmography is famous for its bold and unapologetic characters, with Deadpool front-lining them all. However, his diverse roles have consistently harbored a tinge of his own unique flair. From sarcastic humor to heartfelt drama, Reynolds' characters leave a lasting impression. This Halloween, while many emulated Deadpool's irreverent spirit, an elderly couple took a different approach. Inspired by Reynolds' lesser-known but equally captivating roles, they created a wholesome costume tribute. 

Paying homage to the actor's versatility, their creative choice reminded Reynolds' often-overlooked softer side, proving his characters can inspire beyond the realm of satire and superheroes.
