In case you never realized, it’s Ryan Reynolds who’s the man behind the Deadpool mask. But who would have thought that such a violent superhero could be played on screen by such a sweet guy? And “sweet” is perhaps an understatement when you see these 20 ways in which the actor has proved himself a totally righteous dude.

While being interviewed by BuzzFeed in early February 2016, Ryan was asked, “How do you be more positive about life?” He responded by explaining that two things – or rather, two people – keep him upbeat: his wife, actress Blake Lively, and daughter. Deadpool’s “aww” expression in the background says it all.

A witty retort and a declaration of affection all in one short comeback? Well, color us smitten – and let’s just say that Blake’s one very lucky gal. This is taken from a 2014 red carpet interview by YouTube channel On Demand Entertainment, at the London premiere of Ryan’s movie The Voices.
