Ryan Reynolds Faces Backlash Over Daughter's Role in 'Deadpool & Wolverine'
The actor is criticized for having his 7-year-old daughter deliver a sexually explicit line in the film, with scrutiny intensifying due to new revelations about the production process.
- Ryan Reynolds admitted on a commentary track that his daughter, Inez, then 7, delivered an explicit line in 'Deadpool & Wolverine' after initially being reluctant to do so.
- Director Shawn Levy revealed that Inez recorded the line between 70 and 500 times during rehearsals, leading to further criticism of the decision.
- Critics argue that the line could have been dubbed by an adult voice, as Inez's character wore a mask with no visible mouth.
- The controversy has reignited discussions about the ethics of involving child actors in adult-themed content, particularly in R-rated films.
- The backlash coincides with Reynolds and Blake Lively's ongoing $400 million defamation lawsuit with Justin Baldoni, increasing public scrutiny of the couple.
