Ryan Reynolds is reflecting on the start of his relationship with wife, Blake Lively.
Speaking to the "SmartLess" podcast recently, the Canadian actor revealed how he managed to woo his wife of almost 10 years, which he joked is around "45 years in Hollywood terms."
"I met Blake on the darkest crease in the anus of the universe called 'Green Lantern,'" he joked, referencing the 2011 movie they both starred in. "We were friends and buddies and about a year-and-a-half later we went on a double date but we were dating separate people," he continued.
"We hung out and kind of, you know, we always kind of kept in touch but sort of casually," said Reynolds. "And then next thing you know, she was going to Boston. I was going to Boston. So I was like, 'I'll ride with you!'"
