Transcript

00:00Well, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively were no-shows at the Golden Globes over the weekend,

00:05which didn't really surprise anyone, considering what's been going on, that they don't want

00:12to stand in front of cameras and talk to people and have to answer questions about the war

00:17with Justin Baldoni.

00:18But Ryan Reynolds was willing to talk.

00:20Yes, although not to reporters.

00:23He was at the National Board of Review Awards last night in New York City and was introducing

00:29Wicked, which was up for an award.

00:32And yeah, you could say he's talking about Wicked and the stars of Wicked here.

00:37Nope.

00:39This is 100% about what his wife is going through.

00:43Stories about women seem to be held to a different set of standards, and that is to say that

00:48they're often held to the standards women are held to in life.

00:52You must be perfect.

00:53You must hide your strength.

00:55You must shapeshift or placate.

00:59But Donna Langley and Universal, they know where and with whom to place their trust,

01:06and it paid off in this film.

01:07I hate to say this, I just don't understand this.

01:11There may be double standards still, but to say that a woman has to be perfect, it is

01:17just not...

01:18His point is that if a woman isn't perfect, then whatever that imperfection is, is magnified.

01:25He's a strange messenger for this, right?

01:27He's talking about a movie with two incredibly well-regarded women in the lead roles, both

01:33of whom will likely get Academy Award nominations.

01:36He is married to an exceptionally famous, successful actress, who has had, by the way,

01:42a lot of difficulty with a lot of people on set and different roles she's been in, but

01:46nevertheless has come through as one of the most successful people in Hollywood.

01:50It's an interesting message from Ryan Reynolds.

01:53It really is.

01:54Let me say something, Jason, what you just said.

01:57I get most of it.

01:59Ariana Grande has not been a perfect person.

02:03I mean, she's had her share of...

02:07And by the way...

02:08Hold on, correct me if I'm wrong, and it's been a long time since I've seen the play.

02:11It is a reference to part of the storyline of Wicked as well, right?

02:16But they're talking about actresses there.

02:18They're talking about actresses.

02:19And my point is, Ariana Grande, like everybody else, nobody is perfect.

02:25And she's had her things over the years, but she's still able to probably achieve the status

02:32of winning an Academy Award.

02:33But he's not talking about the actresses.

02:34Really?

02:35I'm saying it's a reference to the storyline.

02:36It is.

02:37I'm just going to throw it out there.

02:38It is possible, maybe it wasn't a double entendre.

02:41I think it was.

02:42I think it was.

02:43And that he was very subtly defending his wife.

02:49Not so subtly defending his wife.
