Ryan Reynolds reveals his experience with ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ co-star Jon Favreau
Jon Favreau makes a cameo as Happy Hogan in 'Deadpool And Wolverine'
Ryan Reynolds has shared his excitement about working with Jon Favreau on the recent release of Deadpool and Wolverine playfully claiming that the experience was "better than being cradled by Thor.”
The IF star took to his Instagram account to share a confession in a caption about the Chef star alongside some official photos of his and Favreau’s scene together in Deadpool & Wolverine, noting, “Jon Favreau didn’t just jump into #DeadpoolAndWolverine for a quick one night stand as Happy Hogan.”
Ryan continued, “He gave us the 360 degree vision of an innovator, foundational Marvel forefather and ace storyteller.”
“And if I have his number right, he is WILDLY uncomfortable with everything I’m writing in this post. But fuck it, I got what I needed out of him so he’s gonna drink the medicine,” he added.
The Deadpool star also noted, “One of the many things I love about playing Deadpool is that he’s a fan. Like me. Deadpool LOVES Marvel. So, working with Jon — who’s one of the original creatives who built an empire — was somehow BETTER than sitting with one of my heroes. And almost better than being cradled in Thor’s powerful arms while he sobs like a fucking motherless child who lost his binky in a house fire.”
Ryan gushed, “Jon is one of the greats. Yeah, the movie benefitted from his incredible performance, but we got something more important: his generosity of time and energy to talk story and brainstorm larger themes and ideas.”
He capped off the post, “I’d drop everything to show up for this guy anytime or anywhere. Thank you, @jonfavreau.”
