When we think of Deadpool, we immediately think of Ryan Reynolds and when we think of Reynolds, we instantly think of one of the most charming, funny and cool actors of our generation.
Reynolds returns to our cinemas on February 10 to play the loud mouthed superhero, but before that JOE would like to run through all the reasons we think he is a king amongst men.
Without further ado.
If first you don’t succeed…
According to his IMDB page, Reynolds failed his high school drama class. We bet that teacher feels silly now.
Cult comedies are his thing
Just Friends and Van Wilder: Party Liaison are brilliant and if you don’t agree with that statement, then you’re wrong.
He’s great in action movies too
Reynolds has made a mark in both the Blade and X Men franchises, not forgetting the upcoming Deadpool movie and the outstanding Smokin’ Aces.
He loves a challenge
In claustrophobic thriller, Buried, Reynolds is the only on-screen actor. An incredibly brave choice and one which he pulls off admirably.
He has been in some of our favourite TV shows
Here he is in The X-Files
And in Scrubs
And Sabrina The Teenage Witch… which was insanely brilliant no matter what you say.
He’s very charitable
He has ran the New York City Marathon to help raise funds for Parkinson’s research.

The Irish connection
According to this article on Irish central, Reynolds has relatives in Dublin and Galway and he has even toured the regions.
Even your girlfriend likes him…
Funnily enough, she hasn’t seen any of his movies.
These ladies thought he was amazing, so who are we to argue
Scarlett Johansson
Blake Lively
Rachael Leigh Cook
He is a genuine Deadpool fanboy
Which makes the fact he is playing him in the upcoming movie even better. You can see this epic coming together of cool when it hits cinemas on February 10.
