Blake Lively Gives Ryan Reynolds 'Deadpool' Figure Riding a Unicorn for Christmas
Ryan Reynolds and wife Blake Lively are giving the world some serious #RelationshipGoals, as the Gossip Girl lady gave her star husband the coolest Christmas present ever: a hilarious Deadpool action figure riding a unicorn. Of course he then shared on Instagram!
According to People Magazine, the actor took to social media to share a snap of his wife's Christmas present, which not only depicted the character he's going to be playing in early 2016, but also did so in full Deadpool fashion: in a cheeky and very nonsensical way!
"Mrs @blakelively had this made by AdoraWools," 39-year-old Reynolds shared on the social network, via Pop Sugar, as he captioned the picture of the hilarious new toy. "Nothing says 'I love you' like a felt #Deadpool, holding a chimichanga while riding a Unicorn dressed in ass-less leather chaps. Amaright fellas?"
Lively and Reynolds met in his first, and infamous, outing as a superhero, the box office and critical flop Green Lantern, where he played the DC Comics character while Lively played Carol Ferris, his love interest. While the movie failed to impress and catapult Reynolds into superhero legend status, the two have been together ever since, marrying in September 2012 and then having their first child, a daughter by the name of James, in December 2014.
These days, Reynolds is busy campaigning for Deadpool, his second shot at superhero immortality, where he will play the relatively obscure character also known as the Merc with a Mouth. The character is a favorite among hardcore comic book fans.
However, as Fox owns the cinematic rights to the character, the character won't be sharing the same universe as the likes of Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark or Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, but rather with X-Men actors like Jennifer Lawrence, sir Ian McKellen and Hugh Jackman. In fact, Reynolds has already appeared in one film of the franchise, the 2009 sequel X-Men Stories: Wolverine, in the first time the character was taken to the big screen.
