by

As a seasoned lifestyle expert with decades of experience in the entertainment industry, I must say that Ryan Reynolds’ response to the criticism was nothing short of masterful. His ability to address the criticism while defending the comedic genre and his craft is a testament to his maturity and wisdom as an artist.

Ryan Reynolds has responded after receiving feedback on social media about his teaming up with Andrew Garfield for season 21 of Variety’s Actors on Actors conversation. The news caused a variety of responses online, as some individuals raised doubts about the casting decision.

Critics debated the difference in acting styles, with praise for Garfield’s dramatic work in We Live in Time compared to the humorous performances of Florence Pugh and Reynolds in the Deadpool series.

A popular social media post captured the essence by saying, “Andrew Garfield discusses his role as a husband and father whose spouse chooses not to undergo cancer treatment, while Ryan Reynolds talks about portraying Deadpool.

In a lengthy response to the post, Reynolds addressed the criticism while defending the comedic genre and his craft. He began by praising Garfield’s performance in We Live in Time, calling him a genius. Reynolds added that he and Florence are magic together, heartbreaking and charming, spending the entire film in a high-wire act of humanity and constraint.

Later on, Reynolds switched the topic to address the complexities of humor, saying, “Indeed, I am Deadpool, yet allow me a moment to stand up for comedy. While dramatic work is demanding…we’re supposed to realize that it’s challenging, which makes it impactful and powerful. Comedy, on the other hand, is equally difficult but it carries an extra layer because it should seem effortless.” He further explained that this ease is what gives comedy its unique charm.

Reynolds pointed out the similarities between comedy and drama, explaining that they’re equally captivating and blend harmoniously. They both rely on tension and flourish when surprising us. He also emphasized the emotional intensity in both forms, noting that their strength lies in authentic emotion and their interpretation is highly individual.

Reynolds’ response garnered backing from numerous fans and social media users. One user commented, “You discuss acting experiences with another actor. It isn’t a contest; it’s simply two artists acknowledging each other’s work while boosting their own.” Another user chimed in, “Well-expressed. People often fail to grasp the complexity of creating a piece of art.

Yet, certain users argued that Reynolds didn’t have to respond to the critics, labeling the post as an effort to provoke conflict. Regardless, his statement garnered notice for its defense of humor and insightful contemplation on the art of acting.
