So, it turns out that Ryan Reynolds isn't so different from every other guy you've encountered on Tinder. Before settling down with Blake Lively and having a baby, he, too, was just a bored 18-year-old prone to taking photos of his junk.
The Deadpool actor made the embarrassing confession during an appearance on Conan last night. The racy photo, however, wasn't intended for a lady; it was actually a prank on his camera-obsessed dad.
"I was about 18 years old," Reynolds told Conan O'Brien. "In the middle of dinner, I grabbed the camera and I went in the bathroom and I just took a picture of my penis. I just wanted to see if he would naturally edit these photos at some point."
The joke, however, might be on him."One day — I hope it doesn't happen — there's a penis picture of mine floating around somewhere," he said.
Reynolds — who, incidentally, happened to be married to Scarlett Johansson when nude photos intended for him were hacked and made public — also joked about today's obsession with steamy selfies.
"I've heard of people who are sexting and stuff, like sending a picture of a penis," he said. "I can't think of anything more threatening to send a woman than a picture of a penis. In terms of sexy, it's just a rung below a picture of yourself committing domestic terrorism. Like, I don't know why someone does that."
Agreed. On the subject of sex ed, the actor also shared the story of daughter James' delivery.
"I was there in the delivery room," he told O'Brien. "I mean, I was there for the conception of the child, so I thought the least I could do is be there in the delivery room. I'm not going to lie to you — I saw things. But amazing [things]! My wife is, I mean she is a mercenary. At one point in the middle of the delivery the doctor's cell phone went off and she went, 'Oh, no. Go ahead, take a personal call.' She was cracking jokes in the delivery room. She may have been taking drugs, but I don't ask personal questions."
And, how is little James?
"Right now she's starting to say 'mama,' but there's an unfair advantage there," he shared. "It turns out that breasts are actually a life support system and the child seems to gravitate towards the breasts. I'm just the breasts-less asshole wandering around the room and getting in her sightline every once in a while. I am dead to her. That's her first words, ironically: 'You're dead to me.'"
Maybe she was saying "You're Deadpool to me"? For her sake, we hope that X-rated pic never surfaces.
