In the years that followed, Reynolds continued to take on a variety of roles in film and television, including the romantic comedies Just Friends (2005) and The Proposal (2009).

Throughout his career, Reynolds has earned critical acclaim and commercial success for his performances in film and television. He has been nominated for multiple awards, including a Golden Globe for his role in Deadpool.
His Personal Life
In his personal life, Reynolds has been married to actress Blake Lively since 2012, and the couple has four children together.
Reynolds is also known for his philanthropy and has been involved with various charities and organizations over the years, including the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and F*ck Cancer.
Ryan Reynolds In Business
