Ryan Reynolds: Putting kids into showbiz is like child abuse
- 6 years ago
Ryan Reynolds has joked putting children into the showbiz world is like “child abuse”.
The 41-year-old actor and his wife Blake Lively are parents to daughters James, and Ines, but Ryan has insisted he doesn't want his brood to be pushed into becoming stars at a young age, as he thinks it is cruel to make a child deal with the pressure that fame carries.
When asked why he doesn't want to put his children into show business, he said: "Mostly because I'm against child abuse. Show business, for a little kid, that's a crazy pursuit”. He added that he thinks acting is great but doesn't know why you would put your kid in show business.
