Apart from his incredible talent, Ryan Reynolds is also well-known for his off-beat personality and whacky sense of humor. While quirky experiences, for many, may come just once or twice in a lifetime, for the Deadpool actor, they are a regular Tuesday. So a show would have to be truly crazy if it made Ryan Reynolds wonder about his appearance on it. We are obviously referring to his participation in the Korean version of The Masked Singer. 

The Red Notice star is currently busy promoting his Apple TV+ holiday-themed film Spirited. In one of the interviews for his upcoming film, the actor recalled his stranger-than-fiction performance on South Korea’s The King of Masked Singer.

When asked his reasons for signing up for that show, the Free Guy revealed he did it for kicks. While on an international tour four years ago, a quintessential Reynolds sought “the weirdest show” and directly landed on the sets of King of Masked Singer.
