Ryan Reynolds is the cover boy for the June issue of Details. The Details people sent us some advance quote and you can read more and see a hot looking slideshow (if you’re into Reynolds) on their website.
I’m not a big fan of his and I find him full of himself, but as I’ve mentioned in the past I think he’s changed over the past year or so and has lost some of his arrogance. I’m probably influenced by Lainey more than anything, as she’s interviewed Ryan and vouches that he’s not the dick he used to be. Plus she’s Canadian like Ryan and is privy to more of their gossip up North. Kaiser doesn’t agree and says he’s still an assh*le. Maybe he is and he’s just learned to tone it down. He says a lot of goofy things in this interview, but he gets serious too and tries to be introspective. He doesn’t come across badly here:
On his next career move and masturbating over Skype
“I don’t really know what I’m going to do next,” Reynolds says. “I’ll meet with some directors via Skype. If the camera angle’s just right, you can be ferociously masturbating and they have no idea.”On not settling on one genre of films
“I’m not declaring nothing, man! I’m getting away with something I’d like to continue getting away with.”Joking about his dark side
“You want to see what I’m like when we turn the tape recorder off? I slit throats, that’s what I do. I only drink panda tears. Do not bring me water. Do not bring me filtered water. I want the tears of a newborn panda, and I will have them—because I’m Ryan Reynolds!”On not sharing details of his divorce
“I’ll say this: the media was not invited to my marriage, and they’re definitely not invited into the divorce.”On his divorce
“Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain,” he says, “but you come out of it. I’m not out of it yet. At all. But I sense that as I do come through it, there’s optimism. How can there not be? I don’t think I want to get married again, but you always reevaluate these things. Any kind of crisis can be good. It wakes you up. I gotta say, I’m a different person than I was six months ago.”“Departing a relationship and still maintaining the idea that this is still the same person I married is a great luxury that I experienced. Thankfully I was in a relationship where two people chose to remain on the high road in every regard.”
On how the press got his divorce wrong
“What was happening privately was the exact opposite of what was being reported,” he says. “There was no story and no scandal, so the narrative was just created for me. That was the most disturbing part. I wasn’t angry. I absolutely predicted every beat of it. There’s an entire economy around this sort of thing—therefore it’s gotta happen one way or another. There was a time, though, when looking at the Internet was a miracle cure for feeling good about myself.”On being single
“You’ve got walls up in a way you didn’t before,” he admits. “But you’re also open to things in a way you weren’t before. I have no interest in dating right now. It just seems so kind of alien to me at this point. I’ve been in relationships pretty much since high school. Some people look at that as a good thing. I think wiser people might see that as a house of cards.”Of course, there’s the pretty German model he’s been seen with around Cape Town. That’s his business, but more to the point, he seems content to be his own man for a while and wait to see where the next adventure takes him.
“I’m very happy not to be in a relationship right now. That’s okay. I didn’t plan on it, that’s for sure . . . but that’s okay.”
[From Details]
I don’t get how you can get divorced and think it’s still the same person you married. From what I’ve known of friends’ divorces, it’s all about how the other person changed or isn’t who they thought they were, or did something so unforgivable that they looked at them totally differently afterwards. This stuff about how Ryan and Scarjo took the high road and still had high regard for each other isn’t ringing true to me, but he’s so vague about it all that I guess I can’t judge. I like what he said about how it’s like a house of cards when you’re divorced and you shouldn’t try to date right away. He’s growing on me, but I think I’d find him off putting if he weren’t famous. He makes a lot of stupid wisecracks that sound awkward and forced, like a frat guy with his buddies. Those dudes grow up but do they ever really change?
Here’s Ryan at Comicon on 3/31/11. The doucheface is strong with this one.

His whole personality is awkward and forced. he never seems genuine to me, even in his photographs.

I can’t help it, I adore him. And Van Wilder was hysterical, so I am biased towards him.

I think they got married barely knowing eachother. I think their marriage was over long before they announced it (who else remembers she barely remembered to acknowledge him when she won her Tony). I think he’s a bit more likable too but he’s certainly not the Sexiest Man Alive.
Yeah that’s right I’m one of those people being judge on the internet.

Well his whole relationship with Scarlett was vague and private. If you expected him to open up about it then…you know…it ain’t gonna happen. He isn’t really witty so yea he made some dumb jokes. The Skype thing was blah. He is such a cutie how can anyone think he is a douche? He is well groomed but certainly not a douche, never heard any stories of him being mean to anyone. He was so sweet to Sandra during her divorce, I really like him.

I kinda like him, he was good in the Amitiville movie and has grown on me…at least he is not running down pussy like Scarjo is with SP’s rotten dong

It must be really hard for him to see how Scarjo’s mesmerized by SP’s old wrinkly dong. Major downgrade it’s like going from a big mama to stale beef jerky (what a weak comparison huh?)

He won me over in Blade III. Laugh out loud funny guy.
Scripted? Yes. But you have to have that rapier sharp wit to be able to pull it off.

Yeah, he can seem like a total douche sometimes… but I’d still do him.

I like him. And Kaiser doesn’t seem to like anyone who isn’t Fassbender or Hamm.

Oh, so, the classic “Not going to talk about this to the media” and then….talks about it to the media. My former boss, who was brilliant, taught me not to be afraid of silence in a conversation. Never feel obligated to fill the air. Once you say, politely, that you’re not going to discuss something, stop talking.

To me it sounded like he didn’t actually want to divorce her, but couldn’t do anything about it when she just grew out of him.
I think he still has feelings for her and that’s whu he can’t get his head around their divorce and dating someone else.

What a douche bag! Never liked him. And this confirms why!

I’m probably influenced by Lainey more than anything, as she’s interviewed Ryan and vouches that he’s not the dick he used to be.
Lainey changes her mind a way too often in my opinion. Which makes me doubt her take on certain people sometimes. She would have to be wrong at least in one of these situations and she used to so passionatelly diss him…with examples from readers who had met him that corroborated such perception. Weird that she’s all “nicey” about him now.
Whatever, I think The Green Lantern is a really stupid character and the film also features Mumbley Boobsley so…I think I’ll wait for Captain America (Chris Evans, Tommy Lee Jones…that’s more like it).

I never found him attractive.

@ LOVE ANGELINA & ND
he tried to stay mum, but like ND said, gave himself away.
“I’m very happy not to be in a relationship right now.
I DIDN’T PLAN ON IT, THAT’S FOR SURE. . . but that’s okay.”
there. he just said it. she dumped him…case closed.
moving on…

Maybe Scarlet is more of a famewhore then I realized. She is constantly papped mid-PDA with Penn; yet, we rarely saw her when she was married to Ryan. It sounds like Ryan was reining her in and now that she’s single she’s letting her freak flag fly (and enjoying all the attention she’s being getting for doing it).

I saw him interviewed on a show here in Canada a couple of years ago, and he was truly one of the wittiest celebs I’ve ever heard. Goofy and kind of odd — yes. But funny and self-deprecating at the same time. I don’t see the douche thing, but it’s not like I’ve ever talked to the guy in person, so who knows.

I like him, he’s a good actor and very sweet and funny in interviews plus handsome.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
This interview was funny, sweet and sad. He said he has built walls around himself and I pray he finds someone that will allow him to open up his heart up to love again. I am sure he did not plan on it. Who gets married and plan on divorcing? I think he is a handsome guy who continues to live his life close to the vest. He did not reveal any reason for this divorce, just his feelings about it. For those who do not like him or his movies they tend to be brutally cruel on his looks, acting and everything about him. I doubt if any one who criticize his interviews could undergo this type of non-stop questioning and continue to be witty and engaging and lastly, if you were not interested in him, you would not bother to find this article, read and comment. This guy is almost perfect. I cannot wait to see RR as the GL

Maybe getting married changed him? He thought he was getting married to someone who loved him, he probably saw a family in the future and thought he had it all figured out only to have the rug pulled from under him. Maybe that changed his views on life and love in general. I know people who were completely different before they got married or had kids than who they are now.

He was briefly part of an email list of comic actors and writers that I was invited into (I have no idea why) back when email lists were hot – like ten years ago. He was insanely funny and stood out even in a group of people who write for “The Simpsons” and other TV shows. He probably is arrogant and now also injured, so I pity the girl who dates him and wants more at this point.

I have to agree with #12. I think that he still cares for her, he married her because she was the love of his life. It has been said tht he tried to save the marriage. She wanted out, but she still wants to be involved in his life.
That’s the part that I don’t understand.
He can’t start a new relationship because he is still hung up on Scarjo.
I still think that Scarjo was having trouble dealing with the divorce, remember she cried the last time they met. But, Sean Penn saw an opportunity to make his move and she being on the rebound and vulnerable fell for Penn.
I love RR as a person and as an actor,
and pray that he finds true love and happiness.
None of us are perfect, we all have flaws, so what if he can be an ass? Given the right circumstance, all of us can be bitchy and nasty at times.
BIG DEAL!

Guys, whenever I read ScarJo I remember those snails *giggles*
I do think it’s an awesome nickname though.

Don’t worry RR, ScarHo was just your ‘Starter Wife’, the right woman will come along one day

I don’t care what Kaiser etc thinks lol, I <3 RR.
I’d take RR over Spittle Butler any day of the week!

Ryan was great in Buried.

Well, he did rather screw over Alanis Morrisette when he dumped her for ScarJo, didn’t he? Karma’s a bitch sometimes.

“If the camera angle’s just right, you can be ferociously masturbating and they have no idea.”
So I guess he’s speaking from personal experience.
In that cover picture, it looked like he was chanelling Tom Cruise with the all black entire.

I will not apologize. Love me some Ryan! He’s funny, good bod, seems interested in life and in off-the-the wall movie choices, like Buried.
I am a fan. Just think he shouldn’t have dumped Alanis.

He comes across as thoughtful and sincere, albeit somewhat of a wounded squirrel. I’ve always liked him. I think he looks awkward on the red carpet because he doesn’t like the spotlight and seems rather uncomfortable with the attention.

He handles an interview very well. He is alway polite, and very funny that masterbating line was very funny also the meat in bowl when they did not know what kind of meat it was. He said it may be a “tourist who was momentarily caught off guard” lol

Funny how he goes from saying his divorce is his business to talking all about it.
Anyway, they married too quickly. They made a HOT couple though.

There are Canadian douches, it’s a universal thing. Don’t get the impression Reynolds is one of them. Sounds wounded and human, the latter of which is more than can be said for a lot of celebs.

I think he’s gorgeous and seems really normal. Divorce is hard (been there) and you do change as a person. I can’t imagine the pressure on either of them when they’re such identifiable people and the gossip immediately started when they announced it. Seeing your partner move on so publicly would be tough if he wasn’t over her.

@ Carolyn, yes, it has to be tough to see your partner move on so fast and then the person she chose and how openly they have displayed their affection. It has to hurt…..
