In a startling turn of events, Joe Rogan has brought to light claims suggesting that Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds may not be the charming figure he portrays. During a recent podcast, Rogan shared alarming anecdotes about Reynolds’ alleged behavior on the set of “Deadpool,” painting a picture of a control-freak rather than the lovable persona he has cultivated over the years.
According to the discussion, Reynolds reportedly issued an ultimatum to his personal makeup artist, threatening to end her career in Hollywood over a scheduling conflict. This incident is described as just a glimpse into a larger pattern of behavior, wherein Reynolds is characterized as a “Hollywood tyrant.” Sources indicate that even executives at Fox were left frustrated by his antics, yet felt powerless to intervene due to his significant influence over the franchise.
Rogan also referenced Reynolds’ strained relationships with collaborators, including director Tim Miller, who was reportedly ousted from “Deadpool 2” after pushing back against Reynolds’ desire for total control. Similarly, actress Morena Baccarin faced diminished screen time and promotional opportunities after disagreeing with Reynolds on set, leading to speculation about a toxic working environment.
Other actors, such as TJ Miller, have also voiced their struggles while working alongside Reynolds, claiming that he fostered a humiliating atmosphere. Even Rebecca Ferguson, while not naming names, alluded to a co-star who was so unbearable that she chose to act opposite a tennis ball rather than share the screen with him.
The fallout from these revelations has led to a growing unease about Reynolds’ carefully crafted public image. Once seen as the quintessential nice guy of Hollywood, the mounting testimonies from industry peers suggest a more complex and troubling reality. As the narrative around Reynolds shifts, the question remains: how will this affect his standing in Hollywood, and will he be able to maintain the facade of the charming superhero he has long portrayed?
