Ryan Reynolds recalls his brothers ‘backing him up’ against their father

In a recent talk show, Ryan Reynolds revealed how his brothers supported him against their strict father.

According to ET, the 45-year-old went on David Letterman’s Netflix chat programme My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, where he discussed their incredible brotherly bond.

The Deadpool star recalled telling one of his brothers when he was 12 that “it would be a good thing to get his ear pierced.”

Reynolds told the host that his brother warned him that their father, James, would not approve.

“You’re going to die. You’re going to show up at dinner tonight and there will be a messy stabbing death because Dad is going to take one of the utensils and stab you,” disclosed the actor about what his brother said to him at that time.

However, The Adam Project star went on with his plan and showed up to dinner with his pierced ear.

He recounted how he was sweating profusely due to fear, but when he looked up and around the table, he saw how all his brothers “had gotten an earring to sorta save me”.

Adding to this, Reynolds remarked that it’s “one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life”.

Meanwhile, the Free Guy actor also opened up about his complicated relationship with his late father, who died after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease in 2015.
