Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy On Time Travel

In the new Netflix film "The Adam Project," Ryan Reynolds is Adam Reed, a time-traveling fighter pilot from the future who crash-lands back to Earth in 2022, and meets the person he's spent years trying to outgrow: his 12-year-old self.

The 45-year-old Reynolds also produced the film, along with director Shawn Levy. For both, the story was irresistible.

"This idea of, if you could go back and actually meet your inner child, actually meet the self you used to be, what would that be like?" Levy said. "What would that be like for you? What would that be like for that kid?"

In the movie, both versions of Adam get the chance to make peace with their long-lost dad, played by Mark Ruffalo. For the real-life Reynolds, the notion of sorting out emotional baggage with one's father all hits very close to home.

Reynolds is the youngest of four boys from Vancouver, Canada. Their dad was a former cop who ran a very tight ship. "I don't want to paint this picture that it was this, like, horrible place to grow up. But it was very tense," he said.  

Correspondent Tracy Smith asked, "Because of your dad?"

"Yeah, my dad was a very tense guy. And, you know, I used to sort of describe him as, like, a skin-covered landmine. I attribute some of why I'm good at my job from that. I'm perceptive. I watch carefully for danger. And, you know, as an adult, that can really come in handy."

Reynolds has been in more than three dozen films, and being a sensitive guy often made him a natural to play the sensitive guy, like in 2009's "The Proposal," opposite Sandra Bullock. But if rom-coms put Reynolds on the Hollywood map, "Deadpool" is what made him a global superstar. The 2016 film, with Reynolds as a disfigured superhero in a mask, was a monster hit, but only after it sat in limbo for years.

Smith asked, "You fought for more than a decade to get that movie made. What'd you tell yourself through those years?"

"You know, it wasn't like I was whippin' out a broadsword and heading up the hill to fight my way through the executives again," he said. "It was, new leadership would come in, and I would go do the song-and-dance."

"But wasn't there a moment where you thought, 'Okay, I'm gonna stop doing the song-and-dance, like, this is just not gonna happen for me'?"

"Yeah. I think it was about a year-and-a-half before we got the green light for the movie."

But before he gave up completely, this test footage of the movie was leaked on the internet:

Fans went crazy, and that helped convince film bosses to give Reynolds the go-ahead to make the real movie. "Deadpool" I and II made more than $1.5 billion at the box office. But Reynolds says that, like his character in the movies, his self-assurance is just an act.

Smith asked, "So, you've talked about struggling with anxiety."

"Uh-huh. Yeah, I've had anxiety my whole life really. And you know, I feel like I have two parts of my personality, that one takes over when that happens.

"When I would go out on, like, 'Letterman,' back in the day, I was nervous. But I remember I'd be standing backstage before the curtain would open, and I would think to myself, 'I'm gonna die. I'm literally gonna die here. The curtain's gonna open and I'm just gonna be, I'm just gonna be a symphony of vomit,' just, like, something horrible's gonna happen! But as soon as that curtain opens – and this happens in my work a lot too – it's like this little guy takes over. And he's like, 'I got this. You're cool.'  I feel, like, my heart rate drop, and my breathing calm, and I just sort of go out and I'm this different person. And I leave that interview going, 'God, I'd love to be that guy!'"

Ryan Reynolds At His The Adam Project Premiere

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds stepped out for a very rare movie premiere date night, with Lively supporting her husband for the New York City debut of his new film The Adam Project. Lively opted for spring pastels in the most stunning way. The former Gossip Girl actress stepped out in an Atelier Versace couture gown with a high leg slit. 

Lively accessorized with dangle earrings and wore her hair half up, half down.

Lively last supported Reynolds at his Free Guy premiere in early August. She wore a sparkly pink cutout dress then.

This is Lively and Reynolds' first time posing together on a red carpet in 2022. The two attended the Broadway premiere of The Music Man together earlier this month but posed separately inside the event.

Lively shared a Valentine's Day tribute to Reynolds earlier this month with a simple but sincere caption. “Find me a better friend. ♥️ I’ll wait…” she wrote.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds pledge to match donations for Ukrainian

Actors Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are promising to match every donation up to $1 million for refugees fleeing war in Ukraine, the couple said on social media.

"In 48 hours, countless Ukrainians were forced to flee their homes to neighboring countries. They need protection. When you donate, we'll match it up to $1,000,000, creating double the support," Reynolds wrote Saturday on Twitter in promoting donations to the United Nations refugee agency.

Lively posted a UNHCR photo on Instagram showing a child, saying the agency is "providing life saving aid."

Ukrainians crowded onto trains and waited in long lines for hours to leave the country after Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine on Thursday. About 368,000 refugees have managed to leave, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reported Sunday.

EU Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson said Sunday the European Union needs to prepare for millions of refugees to arrive.

"It's very difficult to guess how many, but I think we should be prepared for millions," Johansson said.

The UN agency said that because of "years of violence," more than 2 million people had left Ukraine even before Russia troops invaded last week, and almost 3 million people in Ukraine will need humanitarian assistance this year.

"Those fleeing for their lives need immediate shelter, protection and safety," the non-profit USA for UNHCR said on the site where donations can be made.
