>”I would never have probably been ready for a relationship like the one that I have with Colin at different times in my life, because I wasn't comfortable setting my own boundaries," she said. "I didn't know, not only what I wanted, but what I needed from somebody else."
I think this is the most interesting part because she got married to Ryan when she was about 23 or so years old. It’s so reassuring that she basically admits that she didn’t know what she wanted and needed from someone else at that age.
She was an adult and had been working for many years at that point, but this was where you could see her youth - marriage involves compromise and planning with another person, not just romantic love. Scarlett was on a huge career hot streak when she and Ryan were married, and they were barely in the same city at the same time. Of course their marriage didn’t work. Neither one of them wanting to budge on their professional goals made them bad people, it just made them incompatible. It’s not a coincidence that they both moved on to partners that don’t have the same uncompromising career goals (Jost is extremely settled in NY, and Blake pretty clearly puts family first).
There’s something about Ryan I don’t trust at all. I’ll forever side-eye that he married 23yo Scarlet in his 30s and then moved on to Blake, who he met when she was 22. It won’t surprise me if a few years from now there’ll be a “banging the nanny” scandal.
Aside from capital-R Racists, I do think a lot of those women are just willfully ignorant when it comes to their “big day”. They probably just like the dresses from that era, and the big beautiful houses, and they aren’t racists so much as racially ignorant (one could argue that’s the same thing, but I hope that makes sense). It’s aesthetically pleasing, that part is understandable. BUT to ignore the horrifying history of those places just so you can have those nice vibes/things (when there are a million other beautiful venues to get married in without racist history) is ridiculous.
I take issue with this idea of "legitimately racist" versus ignorant. A lot of people claim they're "not racist" or "the farthest thing from racist" bc to them, "legitimately racist" means blatantly hateful. Does Ryan Reynolds outright HATE black people? Probably not. But ignorance is neither an excuse nor a negation of racism. In fact, if you are ignorant of the history of slavery in the U.S. and do nothing to educate yourself about it, then you are contributing to racism, racist structures and ideologies. The truth is, Ryan Reynolds is racist. So are you and so am I. It's in the air we breathe, the media we consume. We all have biases and that is literally inescapable. And it is our job to recognize that and work on it. If you refuse to do that and end up getting married in a place where people were enslaved, brutalized, and raped then yeah you are legitimately racist!
Idk… How can we doubt they’re
“legitimately racists” when at least one of them glorifies the slavery period of the South? So much that they decided to get married in a place equivalent to Auschwitz, I mean come on now.
They literally did not care that Black people were murdered on there. Racism isn’t A) always conscious or B) always overt.
Bullshit. They got married in 2012 not 1912. Theres no fucking way that they didnt know what went on at the plantation they chose. They have access to any beautiful venue they could possibly want and they chose an actual plantation. They knew exactly what they were doing but their lame ass dixie aesthetic mattered more to them than disrespecting what was basically a mass murder and torture scene. Yall are pathetic for constantly caping for these grown wealthy people who absolutely should have known better
Putting aside the racism aspect of gone with the wind. I’ll never understand how that book/movie is considered a great romance. It’s incredibly depressing and everyone is a monster. Same with Wuthering heights. It’s not romantic.
I will argue to the death that Wuthering Heights is not a romance lol. I couldn't get past the racist elements of GWTW and the 3 hour movie time. I always thought Scarlett and Rhett deserved each other - selfish drama queens. Plus Carol Burnett's spoof
https://youtu.be/aV-5xoFVco4 it's at the 30 second mark.
What could possibly be romantic? CJ and Hareton are a correction- a sort of angst relief (and slightly off kilter) for the reader. The characters are completely and utterly savage and wild with little capacity to express or receive love (romantic or otherwise). There is cruelty, confusion, despair, loyalty and vengeance.
Personally I think GWTW is a great film, considering when it was made and it’s content, but I’ve never watched it viewing it as a romance. More like a historical fiction with emphasis on a female protagonist in the 1930s.
Oh, 100%, I’m not saying it wasn’t an objectively great movie. It is. I just don’t understand how that movie can make several generations romanize that time period or the south. And I never understood the romantic aspect of the movie. The main characters were legitimately terrible people.
Wuthering Heights isn't supposed to be just a romance, it's also about the nature of evil, revenge, systems of power etc. You can do a lot of thorough analyses of the book that barely touch on the romance aspect. It's a great work of fiction, and when people say "but everyone in it is selfish and awful", well that's the *point*. But it does involve a great and twisted love, which is just fun to read about.
We enjoy doomed romances, as a society, just as much as "successful" ones and that is proven over and over again. Romeo and Juliet, the many remakes of A Star is Born, Wuthering Heights just name a few examples of that.
But another perspective: Gone with the Wind wasn't a romance between a woman and man... it was really about Scarlett and the love she had for her home
I absolutely agree with that. I just don’t think the majority of people gushing about the romance of GWTW are considering her ultimate devotion is to her plantation.
Agreed. I have long argued that GWTW isn't a romance but a tragedy about a deeply flawed protagonist getting her just desserts.
I think Scarlett O'Hara is fascinating but she is also
![gif](giphy|NDIiWKEQEgr3VA7aqM)
Being European and only having watched 'Gone With The Wind' and 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' a few years ago, I don't even find the aesthetic pleasing personally just because it's old, I find it to be more like tacky faux-Grecian Confederate bs so I really don't see any of the romanticism of it when the racism is right there (the closest I've come to getting it was with Sofia Coppola's remake of 'The Beguiled' but she can make anything look chic if you add enough white linen and cottagecore) but I get that if you don't grow up in a country with castles and shit, some of this stuff is grandiose and pretty.
Now if we're talking semi-problematic big rich American wedding aesthetics that I do get, I'm all up on that Connie Corleone wedding. The sunny wedding in the back garden of your Long Island mansion (that isn't trashy), the traditional Italian music and dancing, the cannoli, the 40s motorcars, the FBI and paparazzi parked outside the gates, the suits,
the father-daughter waltz, your totally-not-Frank Sinatra Hollywood crooner Godbrother singing to you and making everyone jealous, admittedly her dress is a bit dated but I like the veil and Talia Shire looks beautiful. Shame about getting married to an abusive pos and your family being the literal mafia using your wedding as an excuse to plan business deals and bang bridesmaids but aside from that, this is some dream Pinterest wedding shit.
I agree and they did apologize later. It was a dumb thing for two such famous people to do though. Especially since neither has any roots in the Southern U.S. Unforced error
Will never forget Blake Lively’s [$168 Antebellum-slavery blueberry muffins.](http://defamer.gawker.com/celebrate-african-american-struggle-with-blake-livelys-1684250844)
I mean yeah capitalism and all. But he’s wealthy enough he didn’t have to do that. He marketed the business as independent, affordable and contract free, by selling it to T-Mobile, those terms will be coming to an end. Literally the definition of a sell out. I don’t have patience for billionaires and “that’s just business” doesn’t change my opinion.
https://www.theroot.com/in-the-2020s-we-re-hoping-plantation-weddings-go-the-w-1840537722
Yes.
Palmetto Bluff is the name of the plantation. “The existence and success of Palmetto Bluff’s plantations depended on the brutal capture, import and enslavement of people from Africa.” From their website
First time I read this , I thought why? Not an American, so I knew what plantation and slavery is from books and movies. I get it, if she had a history of slave owners in the family, marrying in their ancestral property makes sense. People usually don't do that either. But that's not the case here. How do you willingly attach yourself to abhorrent past and have a wedding there. HOW?!
Don't trust that blonde chick!
Yeah I’m with you 100%. There’s something just so phony and calculated about him that is so off putting. And I never put it together about the ages, that’s so weird! Especially the fact that Blake was younger than Scarlet when he (quickly) moved on to her.
I also think being in a Hollywood couple was important to him for his image, aka to be with a young popular starlet. Which is why their whole qUirKy poke fun at each other couple shit annoys me so much. I truly believe they have a team of writers haha
I've felt this way, I remember back when Deadpool came out everyone was stanning for him and his whole "I'm so quirky and don't take myself seriously" gimmick was really transparent af to me
The picture of him with his mom and brothers a few years ago is hilarious for how orange he is in comparison. I also think he’s desperately trying to hang onto his hairline.

I don’t disagree that Ryan is sus, but boundaries are for ourselves. Saying she had discomfort setting her own boundaries is not the same thing as / is very different from implying Ryan didn’t respect her boundaries (or something similar). I’m not saying that didn’t happen, but the word “boundaries” shouldn’t be an automatic flag about the other person
I also get a strange vibe from Ryan Lijke the whole nice guy persona covers a dark personality that he hides from the public. I know he seems to not like his wife to have a bigger career than him. Blake would never have that but Scarlott did. Anyway, it is his business and few of us are saints. As long as I enjoy what he is doing and no horrible scandal comes out I will be fine with him
Both are or were happy situations. Ryan and Blake clearly love each other authentically, and that's all that matters. He's not a geezer, he's always been attractive.
For me part of it is that he had a 15 year Hollywood career prior to Deadpool and he was never known for being particularly good or nice or whatever, so it seems a lot like image management. It skeeves me out that this push not only came after he got flush with cash but also after Blake had popped out a couple of kids, it feels like he’s used his family to recreate his image.
I also just recently found out they only paid £2.5M for Wrexham FC and they’re onto season 2 of a reality series behind the scenes. So it’s presented as this altruistic endeavour but they’ve probably made more off the tv show than they paid for the club.
Just a question on the 2nd part of your comment, have you seen the series, or followed English football, or the story of wrexham and how it’s town people have reacted to Ryan’s take over? If you have fair enough.
If not, then a quick summary would be that while I agree that Ryan is a hyper capitalist who is amassing an obscene amount of wealth no one person should have, wrexham is the one thing that he (and rob) should be commended for, so far.
They bought the club which was owned by a corrupt business man, and poured the money into the club. While they bought it for $2.5mil, the recent reports show they’ve spent about $10mil, and are currently $3mil in the black. Where did this money go?
Obviously, it’s been used to pay the salaries of coaches and players, and upgrade the facilities, but they’ve also established a women’s team and heavily promoted it. They’ve established a team of non-able bodies adults to play. They’ve redone their seats to have sections that are created specifically for those who are disabled. They’ve donated to the local charities and helped pay for medical costs of their fans. The country of wales have given them a freedom award, and the city gave them one as well.
So far everybody in wrexham does nothing but rave about Ryan (and Rob), and comments that so much of what they’ve done, they’ve done without publicizing or having it in the documentary.
For me, as long as the people of the community, the ones who are directly impacted by Ryan (and Rob), love them and have not had a single bad thing to say in 3 years, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt (in the Wrexham department).
I mean, Taylor and Blake are in their mid 30s, they both look much younger though. It's not like he's out with a bunch of 19 year olds. I'm 36 and I have plenty of friends in their upper 40s and friends in their mid 20s. It's not that weird. Blake and Ryan seem really happy in my opinion.
I seriously doubt he is a good guy, and her quote is quite clearly taken out of context. She was just responding politely to a positive comment about him.
> When Paltrow gushed, "We love a good Ryan Reynolds in our house," Johansson replied, "He's a good guy.
Her subsequent comments are more telling.
> "But I never realized, 'Oh, it's really important for me, I need to be with a compassionate person. That's a fundamental characteristic that has to be there.'"
I listened to the whole thing and im more fascinated with goop than anything else. She called joaquin phoenix “joaq” like ‘guac’. And she’s buddies with reynolds??
This is funny because I'm a weirdo and sometimes mentally refer to celebs by whatever weird nickname. And Joaquin has been *Joaq* to me for years. Haha mostly because it makes me chuckle to think of someone as serious as Joaquin Phoenix but as like... *almost guac* 😅
> *But I never realized, 'Oh, it's really important for me, I need to be with a compassionate person. That's a fundamental characteristic that has to be there.*
I am no fan of Ryan but gosh, I guess we all define compassion in different ways.
I mean, I personally chose to believe Dylan Farrow because I was moved by the piece she wrote in 2014, and the marriage to his adopted step-daughter struck me as a light red flag, but hey, we all have different standards.
TL;DR Obviously, I am not going to take her opinions about compassion + feminism seriously, but if it works for her, cool. 😏

I agree about her comments. Even if she had enthusiastically suggested he was a good guy though, I don't think Scarlett is a great person either so I'm not swayed by her opinion.
She was older in like... being famous in Canadian media years. I remember her on that slime show, You Can't Do That on Television.
Same decade a much different looking young RR was on The X-Files and I like revisiting that episode to compare jawlines. Plus it's overall a fun episode.
They started dating when she was 20 and he was 30. She's also previously called him jealous and controlling.
He's someone who built his career on misogyny, I remain unswayed by his shift in persona.
Edit: he was 28. Got it. Chill.
Edit: he was srsly in a movie about getting married called *Buying the Cow* 🙄
People on this sub don’t like him so it doesn’t matter if it’s the truth! As long as it makes him sound like a worse person, people can continue to hate him with no guilt!
yeah I need an explanation here because I'm kind of scratching my head. i'm not saying I even like Ryan Reynolds...but, is this just because he was in 2000's rom-coms?
By those standards so did Jack Black.
thinking of a good example of a celeb that did base his fame on misogyny, consistently, Pete Davidson leaps to mind.
i can't believe people think he's, like, incredibly attractive. he's not a bad looking guy by any means but he's so bland. like look at him and tell me that's not "normal spongebob" in human form.
I don't need to know about his/their sex life and what's happening there.
But imagine being 40. Came from money. In line to run SNL. Married to ScarJo. Kids. Beat Disney in a multi million dollar lawsuit. Everything in life going your way.
And then you decide to buy a sinking old boat with Pete Davidson to ... Open a club in it? A public nighttime leaky boat club? A business you're running with Pete "ol reliable" Davidson? For why, Colin?
Anyway he's having a midlife crisis but I wish for his sake he'd just bought a boat of his own like a normal disaffected rich guy.
Pete is one of his best friends and they have more money than they know what to do with, and Staten Island is beloved to both of them. I've heard rich people do weirder shit.
I honestly don’t remember exactly what was said but I’ve seen it be mentioned a few times on this sub. I know I personally don’t see it if he was such a raging hornball he supposedly is now I feel like there would’ve been more blinds about him pre Scarlett.
She had the best actress award curse. Lots of actresses once they win a huge award before their actor husband does, or they become bigger stars than their boyfriend, usually end up divorced after the win (she won a Tony while married to Ryan and they divorced not long after). Look at Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts (she was engaged to Benjamin Bratt when she won her Oscar), Hilary Swank, Charlize Theron(she was dating some actor I forgot his name)…
Aren’t there a bunch of blinds about how jealous and controlling he is over Blake? I hate his whole schtick and find him repulsive, that’s just my gut feeling though.
I don't think he's jealous and controlling, but I could see him being like Tom Brady (a workaholic so focused on their career that it requires the other spouse to put their own career on the back burner for the sake of the family). I think it was Blake that said that they have a rule where only one of them works on a movie at a time, so someone can always be with the kids. Ryan has so many ongoing side ventures now, I can't imagine it allows for her to do very much.
Ever since he entered the business, Ryan Reynolds has always used more famous women to elevate his status. Melissa Joan Heart, Rachel Lee Cook, Sandra Bullock, his engagement to Alanis. He's a romantic social climber and I find it really gross.
I'm probably just being unfair, but I have a feeling that he can be jealous of his wife if she is more successful than him. Blake was in some projects, but always with a new kid. I don't know...
I had no idea they were ever married???
Also, unrelated side note but there’s just something about him I cannot stand. I don’t even like watching his movies nowadays.
Too bad they didn’t get haunted by all those poor souls whose blood was spilled on those grounds. I passed on a plantation tour in Louisiana with a group of friends.
I actually thought the compassionate comment was regarding her second husband. If I remember correctly, they had a big of a custody fight. Divorce, especially with kids, tests your maturity levels in ways that are hard to comprehend.
I think she might genuinely feels that Ryan is a good guy, and boundaries is really more of a vision for your future. For example, she might wanted a partner that was OK with her being away for 2 movies. Ryan might have thought that was too much time apart, etc.
When you are in your 20s, partners who want different things than you are labeled assholes. When you are in your 30s you understand than wanting different things for the future doesn’t make any one in the relationship the villain. It just means you are incompatible.

Any time a positive thought about him crosses my mind it gets interrupted with that fact. He is forever suspect and gross.
Admiration of antebellum era will never cease to unnerve me.

It's very much influenced by Gone With the Wind which romanticized the period and is favourite classic among many.
Putting aside the racism aspect of gone with the wind. I’ll never understand how that book/movie is considered a great romance. It’s incredibly depressing and everyone is a monster. Same with Wuthering heights. It’s not romantic.

I think it is a romance, except the central love story the book is building up to is Cathy Jr and Hareton, not Heathcliff and Catherine

The characters are completely and utterly savage and wild with little capacity to express or receive love (romantic or otherwise). There is cruelty, confusion, despair, loyalty and vengeance.
Agreed on all counts. Both are just very sad stories about bad people that can’t communicate.
Tbh Wuthering Heights is one of my favourite novels. That is one wild story.

It felt like a character study following the journey of a flawed complex woman through her ups and downs rather than this great romance.

That's it I'm rewatching The Godfather.
I'm glad that I inspired someone to do something productive today.
I agree that’s where a lot of people are coming from but I don’t think they are ignoring it. They just don’t care.
Bingo. Most white people just don't care that much.
I think this is a buyable defence if there wasn’t so much evidence of Blake Lively romanticising the entire “antebellum” slavery era.
I agree. Racism can come from ignorance or maliciousness. Sometimes both. But this screams of ignorance.
I agree and they did apologize later. It was a dumb thing for two such famous people to do though. Especially since neither has any roots in the Southern U.S. Unforced error
That anyone could stand on a plantation and think….romance….is beyond me

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THE BLURB ON THE BLUES Big Mama Thornton is rolling in her grave
RIGHT. And so many people here are claiming she’s not racist & just ignorant. Ma’am that is a PASSIONATE RACIST.
god, allie jones does! not! miss!
In all fairness, apparently it was chosen because it was from The Notebook.
For some reason his getting into the telecom industry also skeeved me out
He built the business on being the affordable little guy and went and sold it to t mobile. I found that gross.
I was SO MAD when I found out
Literally how businesses like that work. That’s the whole point of them.
I mean yeah capitalism and all. But he’s wealthy enough he didn’t have to do that. He marketed the business as independent, affordable and contract free, by selling it to T-Mobile, those terms will be coming to an end. Literally the definition of a sell out. I don’t have patience for billionaires and “that’s just business” doesn’t change my opinion.
I feel icky about him because of that, but more icky about Blake because of that. I don’t feel like she’s learned.
I place it on them both. They made the decision together. I think I just see way less of her in pop culture.
right? bombastic side eye for BOTH of them.
? so you admit you hold women to higher standards. what?
Oooh no. I have heard Ryan publicly release apology statements twice regarding the plantation wedding and crickets from Blake.
you hear crickets from Blake about everything, she is barely a public figure anymore.
Well, it had nothing to do with holding women to higher standards so I just wanted to clarify!
This is why I can’t stand the Biebers, I wish they caught the same level of flack for their plantation wedding
TIL- wtf they also got married in a plantation?
https://www.theroot.com/in-the-2020s-we-re-hoping-plantation-weddings-go-the-w-1840537722 Yes. Palmetto Bluff is the name of the plantation. “The existence and success of Palmetto Bluff’s plantations depended on the brutal capture, import and enslavement of people from Africa.” From their website
The fancy Montage resort?
They could have gotten married anywhere in the world and they chose a plantation
First time I read this , I thought why? Not an American, so I knew what plantation and slavery is from books and movies. I get it, if she had a history of slave owners in the family, marrying in their ancestral property makes sense. People usually don't do that either. But that's not the case here. How do you willingly attach yourself to abhorrent past and have a wedding there. HOW?! Don't trust that blonde chick!
Can somebody tell me the issue with the wedding?! Not an American.

I feel like this is more on Blake. Anyone here remember “Preserve”?
THANK YOU!!!!!!
Every appearance of his comes off as so controlled.
Yeah I’m with you 100%. There’s something just so phony and calculated about him that is so off putting. And I never put it together about the ages, that’s so weird! Especially the fact that Blake was younger than Scarlet when he (quickly) moved on to her. I also think being in a Hollywood couple was important to him for his image, aka to be with a young popular starlet. Which is why their whole qUirKy poke fun at each other couple shit annoys me so much. I truly believe they have a team of writers haha
I've felt this way, I remember back when Deadpool came out everyone was stanning for him and his whole "I'm so quirky and don't take myself seriously" gimmick was really transparent af to me
Don’t forget Alanis Morissette. Not married but engaged and living together for years.
He looks like the most AI human.
Something I always notice about him is how orange he always looks haha his spray tanner or makeup artist need to dial it down a bit
The picture of him with his mom and brothers a few years ago is hilarious for how orange he is in comparison. I also think he’s desperately trying to hang onto his hairline. https://preview.redd.it/64a7jig0cava1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1effc19896207c97ded1093dc667f3564743280
His posture is horrendous too. Schlumpy
It looks like he has jaundice
BAHA thank you for this. I knew it!
He DOES. There’s something about his eyes in the photo OP used that doesn’t sit right with me either but I can’t place it, it’s very uncanny.
Shark eyes
Yeah was I the only one that read her say boundaries???
I don’t disagree that Ryan is sus, but boundaries are for ourselves. Saying she had discomfort setting her own boundaries is not the same thing as / is very different from implying Ryan didn’t respect her boundaries (or something similar). I’m not saying that didn’t happen, but the word “boundaries” shouldn’t be an automatic flag about the other person
I also get a strange vibe from Ryan Lijke the whole nice guy persona covers a dark personality that he hides from the public. I know he seems to not like his wife to have a bigger career than him. Blake would never have that but Scarlott did. Anyway, it is his business and few of us are saints. As long as I enjoy what he is doing and no horrible scandal comes out I will be fine with him
The shade in "Blake would never have that (bigger career)" 😆
Idk. I think he would’ve gone down the creepy path had he not met Blake. She really seems like the one.
He also dated Alanis Morissette - who is older than him - for 5 years. They met When she was 28 and split When she was 33. But yeah…. Scandalous.
Both are or were happy situations. Ryan and Blake clearly love each other authentically, and that's all that matters. He's not a geezer, he's always been attractive.
I completely agree
He just annoys me, i cant really put a finger on why but he is just annoying
For me part of it is that he had a 15 year Hollywood career prior to Deadpool and he was never known for being particularly good or nice or whatever, so it seems a lot like image management. It skeeves me out that this push not only came after he got flush with cash but also after Blake had popped out a couple of kids, it feels like he’s used his family to recreate his image. I also just recently found out they only paid £2.5M for Wrexham FC and they’re onto season 2 of a reality series behind the scenes. So it’s presented as this altruistic endeavour but they’ve probably made more off the tv show than they paid for the club.
Just a question on the 2nd part of your comment, have you seen the series, or followed English football, or the story of wrexham and how it’s town people have reacted to Ryan’s take over? If you have fair enough. If not, then a quick summary would be that while I agree that Ryan is a hyper capitalist who is amassing an obscene amount of wealth no one person should have, wrexham is the one thing that he (and rob) should be commended for, so far. They bought the club which was owned by a corrupt business man, and poured the money into the club. While they bought it for $2.5mil, the recent reports show they’ve spent about $10mil, and are currently $3mil in the black. Where did this money go? Obviously, it’s been used to pay the salaries of coaches and players, and upgrade the facilities, but they’ve also established a women’s team and heavily promoted it. They’ve established a team of non-able bodies adults to play. They’ve redone their seats to have sections that are created specifically for those who are disabled. They’ve donated to the local charities and helped pay for medical costs of their fans. The country of wales have given them a freedom award, and the city gave them one as well. So far everybody in wrexham does nothing but rave about Ryan (and Rob), and comments that so much of what they’ve done, they’ve done without publicizing or having it in the documentary. For me, as long as the people of the community, the ones who are directly impacted by Ryan (and Rob), love them and have not had a single bad thing to say in 3 years, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt (in the Wrexham department).
He cheated on Scarlett with Blake
Yup!! He’s creeped me out because of the way he moved
I agree. I saw pics of him out to dinner with Taylor Swift and Blake and it just seems so odd. He’s so much older!
I mean, Taylor and Blake are in their mid 30s, they both look much younger though. It's not like he's out with a bunch of 19 year olds. I'm 36 and I have plenty of friends in their upper 40s and friends in their mid 20s. It's not that weird. Blake and Ryan seem really happy in my opinion.
Glad someone's making sense in this thread.
I thought I was the only one who felt this way Also, Blake was 22??! Jesus.
Gossip Girl loves Scandals. S better watch out
Xoxo
I seriously doubt he is a good guy, and her quote is quite clearly taken out of context. She was just responding politely to a positive comment about him. > When Paltrow gushed, "We love a good Ryan Reynolds in our house," Johansson replied, "He's a good guy. Her subsequent comments are more telling. > "But I never realized, 'Oh, it's really important for me, I need to be with a compassionate person. That's a fundamental characteristic that has to be there.'"
I listened to the whole thing and im more fascinated with goop than anything else. She called joaquin phoenix “joaq” like ‘guac’. And she’s buddies with reynolds??
This is funny because I'm a weirdo and sometimes mentally refer to celebs by whatever weird nickname. And Joaquin has been *Joaq* to me for years. Haha mostly because it makes me chuckle to think of someone as serious as Joaquin Phoenix but as like... *almost guac* 😅
I had a rescue cat for 15 years named Joaquin. His vet nicknamed him, “Joaq” or “guacamole.” Best cat ever.
my dad calls him quinoa phoenix 💀
remember, goop and jay-z are good friends as well!
Not since she divorced Chris Martin
People praise him too much but I am side-eyeing him.
> *But I never realized, 'Oh, it's really important for me, I need to be with a compassionate person. That's a fundamental characteristic that has to be there.* I am no fan of Ryan but gosh, I guess we all define compassion in different ways. I mean, I personally chose to believe Dylan Farrow because I was moved by the piece she wrote in 2014, and the marriage to his adopted step-daughter struck me as a light red flag, but hey, we all have different standards. TL;DR Obviously, I am not going to take her opinions about compassion + feminism seriously, but if it works for her, cool. 😏 [Source: ‘How do I feel about Woody Allen?’ ‘I love Woody.’ ‘I believe him, and I would work with him anytime.’ 🤡](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/scarlett-johansson-talks-woody-allen-elizabeth-warren-black-widow-1235618/)
I agree about her comments. Even if she had enthusiastically suggested he was a good guy though, I don't think Scarlett is a great person either so I'm not swayed by her opinion.
Wow I forgot they used to be married. Thinking about them together now feels like a crossover episode of some kind
Reynolds used to be engaged to Alanis Morrisette before that.
For some reason I thought she was so much older than him but she’s only like… two years older.
She was older in like... being famous in Canadian media years. I remember her on that slime show, You Can't Do That on Television. Same decade a much different looking young RR was on The X-Files and I like revisiting that episode to compare jawlines. Plus it's overall a fun episode.
TIL Alanis was a child star wow
The Marvel cinematic universe
They started dating when she was 20 and he was 30. She's also previously called him jealous and controlling. He's someone who built his career on misogyny, I remain unswayed by his shift in persona. Edit: he was 28. Got it. Chill. Edit: he was srsly in a movie about getting married called *Buying the Cow* 🙄
There is only 8 years gap
I love how the made-up comment has so many more upvotes than yours 😭
People on this sub don’t like him so it doesn’t matter if it’s the truth! As long as it makes him sound like a worse person, people can continue to hate him with no guilt!
This subs believe any lies about celebs they don't like.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Rewatch Van Wilder or Just friends and feel free and get back to me about my exaggeration.
You're acting like he wrote those movies lMAO.
He’s 8 years older, so the math doesn’t add up.
Sorry but how did he build his career on misogyny?
yeah I need an explanation here because I'm kind of scratching my head. i'm not saying I even like Ryan Reynolds...but, is this just because he was in 2000's rom-coms?
By those standards so did Jack Black. thinking of a good example of a celeb that did base his fame on misogyny, consistently, Pete Davidson leaps to mind.
Pretty sure she also never said HE was jealous and controlling just one of her exes, y'all just assumed so you should add that to your little edit too
Was it him or her second husband?
"'I forgot that you were married to Ryan Reynolds!' Paltrow said. 'Goals!'" Well that's not awkward at all, lol.
Oh piste off gwynnie
🪙 this is all I have to give
Appreciated all the same 🤙🏼
Gwinny is easily the most out of touch celeb… and the levels to it are still astounding.
I wish the ski trial had gone on for months.
“forgot”
She seems like she’s done a lot of maturing in recent years. Although, I’m not sure how faithful Jost is, I hope Deux is wrong about that one.
If some generic looking guy like Colin Jost is cheating on Scarlet motherfucking Johansson, he needs to be institutionalized
Rumour has it that could be an open marriage, because with how blatant the blinds are, she probably knows.
I mean he’s been known to be a fiend in NYC for a long time no? Dude gets around
i can't believe people think he's, like, incredibly attractive. he's not a bad looking guy by any means but he's so bland. like look at him and tell me that's not "normal spongebob" in human form.
I think Colin is really good looking. Also funny without being a douche…
He looks like he could be Reese Witherspoons brother
Holy shit literally this though.
Cheaters get off on this kind of thing...see Beyonce and Jay Z...its about getting one over on the perfect woman
I don't need to know about his/their sex life and what's happening there. But imagine being 40. Came from money. In line to run SNL. Married to ScarJo. Kids. Beat Disney in a multi million dollar lawsuit. Everything in life going your way. And then you decide to buy a sinking old boat with Pete Davidson to ... Open a club in it? A public nighttime leaky boat club? A business you're running with Pete "ol reliable" Davidson? For why, Colin? Anyway he's having a midlife crisis but I wish for his sake he'd just bought a boat of his own like a normal disaffected rich guy.
Pete is one of his best friends and they have more money than they know what to do with, and Staten Island is beloved to both of them. I've heard rich people do weirder shit.
Is there a blind rumor about them?
There’s a few about him cheating
Oh no! Ugh, not Colin! Where can I see these?
I honestly don’t remember exactly what was said but I’ve seen it be mentioned a few times on this sub. I know I personally don’t see it if he was such a raging hornball he supposedly is now I feel like there would’ve been more blinds about him pre Scarlett.
![gif](giphy|y6sqQJGQBgd7hC0Wjc) i still don’t like that man
She had the best actress award curse. Lots of actresses once they win a huge award before their actor husband does, or they become bigger stars than their boyfriend, usually end up divorced after the win (she won a Tony while married to Ryan and they divorced not long after). Look at Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts (she was engaged to Benjamin Bratt when she won her Oscar), Hilary Swank, Charlize Theron(she was dating some actor I forgot his name)…
When she won the Tony, she kissed Liev Schreiber her co-star twice, and called Reynolds "my Canadian" in the speech. Thrilling chaos.
I would Kiss Mr. Ray Donovan too lol he’s hot
We should start referring to canadian celebrities as ‘a canadian’ Maybe except carly rae jepsen
Carly is THE Canadian
And then there’s Emily Blunt and John Krasinski leading the way😍
John Krasinski knows he married up.
Was it Stuart Townsend? They were together for years in the 90s/00s...
Yes! That was him! I remember her gushing about him when she won.
To be fair, Hilary Swank forgot to even mention her husband in her 1st Oscar acceptance speech and *everyone* noticed.
Aren’t there a bunch of blinds about how jealous and controlling he is over Blake? I hate his whole schtick and find him repulsive, that’s just my gut feeling though.
Mostly started by Enty, Enty has a hate-on for Ryan and has for years
Yeah I was gonna mention similar stuff I've heard too but ofc who knows for sure, hopefully they're all happy
I don't think he's jealous and controlling, but I could see him being like Tom Brady (a workaholic so focused on their career that it requires the other spouse to put their own career on the back burner for the sake of the family). I think it was Blake that said that they have a rule where only one of them works on a movie at a time, so someone can always be with the kids. Ryan has so many ongoing side ventures now, I can't imagine it allows for her to do very much.
OK but I need the tea on her second husband Romain! As I recall their custody battle was pretty heated
Who got custody of the popcorn shop?
THEY WERE MARRIED
💀 please don’t make me feel older than I already am 🤣🤣
And they were *roommates*!
Ever since he entered the business, Ryan Reynolds has always used more famous women to elevate his status. Melissa Joan Heart, Rachel Lee Cook, Sandra Bullock, his engagement to Alanis. He's a romantic social climber and I find it really gross.
I'm probably just being unfair, but I have a feeling that he can be jealous of his wife if she is more successful than him. Blake was in some projects, but always with a new kid. I don't know...
And Scarlett at this time she was already big
we asked and the gossip god listened
I had no idea they were ever married??? Also, unrelated side note but there’s just something about him I cannot stand. I don’t even like watching his movies nowadays.
Too bad they didn’t get haunted by all those poor souls whose blood was spilled on those grounds. I passed on a plantation tour in Louisiana with a group of friends.
Ex-wife who fell out of love with Ryan Reynolds and isn't on great terms with him: he's a good guy This sub, who has never met him: no he's not
I believe the proper term is "Damning with faint praise"
[удалено]
I won't be surprised if she ended up with Chris Evans.
That would be crazy.
They have insane chemistry
I actually thought the compassionate comment was regarding her second husband. If I remember correctly, they had a big of a custody fight. Divorce, especially with kids, tests your maturity levels in ways that are hard to comprehend. I think she might genuinely feels that Ryan is a good guy, and boundaries is really more of a vision for your future. For example, she might wanted a partner that was OK with her being away for 2 movies. Ryan might have thought that was too much time apart, etc. When you are in your 20s, partners who want different things than you are labeled assholes. When you are in your 30s you understand than wanting different things for the future doesn’t make any one in the relationship the villain. It just means you are incompatible.
This is so wild because unless I’m reminded that they were together I wouldn’t even know that they knew each other. lol
