1. He was kicked out of high school for stealing a car. Except he didn’t really steal a car. He and his friends played an April Fool’s joke on one of his teachers by picking up his small Volkswagen and moving it a block away from where it was parked. But moving a car more than 10 feet is a felony in Canada, which he didn’t know at the time.

2. Ryan was trying to make Deadpool happen for 11 years. He sent borderline illegal letters that normally no one would even think of sending to heads of studios, it was a struggle, and he almost thought it would never happen but he didn’t give up. So when it happened he was beyond excited. He says he worked his butt off to make this movie as good as possible and as true to the comic as you possibly can. When he saw the suit for the first time he literally wept with joy.

3. Ryan Reynolds is the youngest of 4 brothers in his family and when they were kids, they were all up to no good. All of his brothers were kicked out of high school at some point, so by the time he got to high school he pretty much knew it was only a matter of time until they kicked him out too. Ryan Reynolds’ brothers definitely created a reputation that didn’t exactly garner good luck with the teachers. Now two of them work as policemen in British Columbia.

4. When he was 19 he was run over by a car. He broke a bunch of bones in his left side but thankfully he healed absolutely fine. The ironic thing about that accident is that he was out at a bar and had a couple of drinks, so he left his car and chose to be responsible and walk home, only to be hit but a drunk driver. Does he still wonder whether that guy ever says that he was hit by a drunk pedestrian?
