Ryan Reynolds Leaves Blake Lively Unmentioned at Brooklyn Event After Backlash Over Anecdote

The appearance came as his John Candy documentary premiered on Prime Video.

Overview

  • At the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, Reynolds avoided any reference to his wife during a stage talk tied to the documentary’s release.
  • Two weeks earlier he shared a story that reportedly used a crude term about Blake Lively, and after online criticism he later retold it to focus on the difficulty of reaching Bill Murray.
  • Reynolds said he had left messages on a wrong number and that a late‑night video featuring his children helped persuade Murray to participate.
  • 'John Candy: I Like Me' debuted on Amazon Prime Video on October 10 and features interviews with Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Tom Hanks.
  • In recent Q&As he discussed the lingering impact of his father’s 2015 death and his involvement with the Parkinson’s initiative More to Parkinson’s.
