Ryan Reynolds Offers Bold Thoughts on Hiring Taylor Swift in Key Role

Y

Ryan Reynolds opened up about potentially hiring his pal, Taylor Swift, as a babysitter for his four children—but unfortunately, he can’t afford her services (not that she was necessarily offering them to begin with).

While chatting with E! News on Monday, July 21, Reynolds—who shares daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4, as well as a fourth child born in 2023 with his wife, Blake Lively—responded to a joke about childcare, bringing up the “cost” associated.

As the actor’s Deadpool & Wolverine costar, Hugh Jackman, hilariously commented, the “Lavender Haze” singer is actually the family’s nanny, Reynolds quickly quipped back, “The cost of that is… I believe the accountant said, ‘cost-prohibitive.'”

He further joked, “But I think what he meant was, ‘Cost-insane-what-are-you-doing-I’m-no-longer-you’re-accountant.’”

The mention of the pop superstar likely came about as rumors have swirled for months that the singer may make a cameo in the movie—something the stars officially set straight for anxious and inquiring fans.

“I will say once and for all that the cameo thing with Taylor,” the Free Guy actor explained, “because she’s our friend—that is not in this film.”

“I always do say that if anyone ever were to take over the role of Deadpool, actually Taylor would be very good,” Reynolds continued to reveal. “Because that’s a superpower that I don’t know that she shows everyone too often—she’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.”

The foursome, including Jackman, Reynolds, Lively, and Swift, were spotted spending time together in the stands of one of the pop star’s boyfriend Travis Kelce‘s Kansas City Chiefs games last NFL season, making fans wonder if they were working on the film together, too.

But alas, as confirmed, it’s simply not so.
