Did you know the Deadpool mercenary, Ryan Reynolds, actually did a signature superhero landing? And that it was not for his DC movie but because of an accident? Not only do fans admire The Adam Project star for his intellectual personality, but also his spot-on comic timing. Over the years, Reynolds has provided his audience with some of the most remarkable performances. One such film that reflects how great he is as an actor is his 2021 action comedy, Free Guy.

It is a refreshingly funny and heartfelt romantic comedy in the guise of a wacky and surprisingly clever video game action movie. And at the top of it all, It has Ryan Reynolds, and he gives us everything. Fascinatingly, Ryan’s humor in the movie was so top-notched that even a barrier separating the celebrity from the crowd at one of his promotion tours cracked down!

Later on, the 45-year-old Canadian actor talked about it in an interview with Entertainment Tonight and explained the entire situation. Reynolds said how horrible the situation was and that he was worried both for the crowd and his leg. “What you could tell is that they were falling, like, ‘Oh, they’re gonna be fine,’ and it’s like, ‘Oh, but that leg is gonna go,’ so I jumped out. But it was, yeah, everyone was fine,” said Ryan.

And well, how could any of his interviews be complete without evoking a bit of laughter? The actor joked about how his wife, Blake had asked him to come back home in one piece, so that was his entire goal at that time. Thankfully, both the crowd and Deadpool’s leg were completely fine.
