Ryan Reynolds Criticized for Having Daughter Deliver Explicit Line in 'Deadpool & Wolverine'
The actor's decision to involve his 7-year-old daughter in recording a sexually explicit line has drawn widespread criticism and reignited ethical debates about child acting in Hollywood.
- Ryan Reynolds revealed in a commentary track that his daughter Inez, then 7 years old, delivered a sexually explicit line in 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'
- Director Shawn Levy disclosed that Inez recorded the line between 70 and 500 times, raising concerns about the process and decision-making behind the scene.
- Critics argue the line could have been dubbed by an adult, as the character wore a mask, making the decision unnecessary and inappropriate.
- Reynolds admitted Inez initially resisted saying the line but agreed after he considered recasting the role, prompting further backlash over parental and professional boundaries.
- The controversy coincides with a $400 million defamation lawsuit involving Reynolds and Blake Lively, intensifying public scrutiny of their actions and decisions.
