Is Ryan Reynolds Secretly a 'Gossip Girl' Fanatic?

Here’s the scoop: Ryan Reynolds might not be your typical 'Gossip Girl' viewer, but his response to a fan's inquiry about the show was nothing short of hilarious. The charismatic actor, known for his quick wit, revealed whether or not he’s dived into the world of Upper East Side scandals through his wife, Blake Lively’s, hit series.

On a Monday in late March, a fan couldn’t resist asking Ryan, via Twitter, if he’s ever binged 'Gossip Girl.' The fan's plea was simple yet desperate: “I need to know if @VancityReynolds has watched 'Gossip Girl'? I NEED to know.” Ryan, never one to miss a beat, responded with a quip that left everyone laughing. “I didn’t watch. I drank it through my eyes,” the 43-year-old joked, proving once again that he’s got a knack for turning even the simplest questions into comedy gold.

Ryan's Support for Blake: Beyond 'Gossip Girl'

While Ryan’s response to the 'Gossip Girl' question was playful, it’s no secret that the 'Deadpool' star is a devoted supporter of his wife’s career. Even if he wasn’t a fan of the show itself, Ryan has always been vocal about how much he admires Blake and her work. During a 2017 appearance on 'Good Morning America,' Blake herself opened up about her husband’s unwavering support, saying, “It’s nice to have somebody who understands what you’re doing. Especially because our job is so weird. You have to be married to other people; it’s all so strange. It’s never normal, even when we’re both doing it, but it’s helpful to know when you’re acting that you’re in a relationship with someone that that’s not what’s actually happening.”

Blake went on to clarify just how crucial Ryan’s understanding is, especially when it comes to the often misunderstood nature of their profession. “Because I have friends who aren’t married to someone in the business, so they’re like, ‘Oh, so you’re not actually making love in that scene?!’ And I’m like, ‘No, no, no, no, definitely not,’” she added with a laugh.

Ryan's Role in Blake's Ventures Beyond Acting

Ryan’s influence extends beyond Blake’s acting career. In 2014, the actress told E! News about how her husband played a pivotal role in the launch of her lifestyle website, Preserve. Blake explained, “He’s incredibly involved. There is nothing that goes through that I don’t run by him. On the site, when I’m doing [photos], I’ll say, ‘What photos do you think? This one or do you think that one?’ And I love that he challenges me.”

Though Blake eventually shuttered Preserve in 2015, she remains grateful for Ryan’s encouragement to step outside her comfort zone. “He’s someone that I trust when he challenges me,” she reflected. “It’s nice to have a partner in everything.” Whether it’s navigating the complexities of Hollywood or venturing into new projects, Ryan and Blake’s partnership continues to thrive, proving that their relationship is as solid as it gets.
