00:00This is what Ryan Reynolds' former co-stars said about him.

00:03Matthew Lawrence claiming an early 20s Ryan Reynolds was difficult to work with long before

00:09all the It Ends With Us set drama.

00:11The production team was having a really hard time with Ryan.

00:16So I love him as a comedian, but I think after he got super, super famous from the first

00:21Deadpool, yeah, things kind of changed.

00:24You might be surprised to learn that not every co-star gushes about Ryan.

00:28Let's start with Matthew Lawrence, best known for Boy Meets World.

00:31Back in 1998, they worked together on a film called Bolt Neck.

00:35See you in school.

00:37Just put it in the old pocket there and head on home, okay?

00:41Thanks for the lift.

00:42Matthew recalls a very different Ryan than the superstar we know today.

00:47According to him, young Ryan was a total schlub on set.

00:50Apparently, the production team was having a tough time with him because he was trying

00:54too hard, doing a bad Jim Carrey impersonation.

00:57They even told him, like, Ryan, this is a bad Jim Carrey impersonation.

01:01We don't want just not we hired you to do.

01:03Producers weren't impressed, telling him he needed to find his own style.

01:07They even thought that he might not make it in Hollywood.

01:10Can you imagine Ryan Reynolds not succeeding?

01:14It's almost unbelievable.

01:15But Matthew finds the whole thing funny now, noting that Ryan stayed true to himself and

01:19just matured as a human being.

01:21He even joked that Ryan was basically trying to Deadpool it way back then.

01:25Let's talk about TJ Miller, who played Weasel on Boy Meets World.

01:28He claimed that Ryan Reynolds wasn't exactly a joy to work with, even on the movie that

01:32catapulted him to A-list status.

01:34During a podcast interview, TJ said that Ryan requested a scene retake just to humiliate

01:39him in front of the entire crew.

01:41TJ described how Ryan, in character as Deadpool, was horribly mean to him, as if he was actually

01:46Weasel.

01:47Ryan allegedly made comments about TJ not being the star and only being good for a just

01:51enough exposition.

01:53TJ was clearly taken aback by this and said he wouldn't work with Ryan again.

01:56However, years later, TJ changed his tune.

01:59He revealed that Ryan reached out to apologize after the story went viral.

02:03According to TJ, they hashed it out really quickly.

02:06It seems like Deadpool brings out some interesting stories.

02:10Let's talk about Wesley Snipes and Ryan Reynolds time together on Blade Trinity.

02:14Apparently, Wes was so committed to his character that he refused to interact with anyone as

02:18himself.

02:19He just wanted to stay in character.

02:22Even Patton Oswalt shared that Ryan used this as an opportunity to mess with him.

02:26Since Wes wouldn't talk to him, Ryan and others would come up with the worst jokes

02:29and puns to say to him on set.

02:31It created some tension, but Wes later brushed it off, saying it was all due to his method

02:35acting.

02:36And guess what?

02:37Wes even made a surprise cameo in Deadpool and Wolverine.

02:40Wesley joked that he hated Ryan, but it was all an act that they'd been playing for

02:43two decades.

02:44Apparently, it all started with a text from Ryan about a surprise cameo.

02:50Ryan Reynolds has one of the most iconic Hollywood romances of all time with Hugh Jackman.

02:54But even their relationship had a rocky start.

02:57Hugh admitted that he initially gave Ryan a hard time because he was close friends with

03:00Scarlett Johansson, who had just married Ryan.

03:02Hugh Jackman joked that he was watching Ryan's behavior closely.

03:06Despite the initial ribbing and constant trolling, Hugh insists their friendship is the real

03:10deal.

03:11He raves about Ryan's talent and humanity, saying he laughed until he cried every day

03:15on set.

03:16Hugh even called Ryan a brilliant, brilliant actor who cares deeply about his characters.

03:20Rumors swirled about a romance between Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock during the proposal.

03:25But Sandra quickly shut them down, calling Ryan an amazing friend.

03:30Sandra praised Ryan for his professionalism and unflappable nature, especially during

03:34their memorable intimacy scene.

03:38Ryan in turn had said that Sandra is singular and that he would do anything with her.

03:42It seems like Ryan Reynolds, like any human, isn't perfect.

03:45He might have been a bit rough around the edges early in his career, and he's definitely

03:48had his share of on-set clashes.

03:50But it's also clear that he's grown and matured over the years.

03:53Many of his co-stars, even those who initially butted heads with him, have come to admire

03:57and respect him.

03:59And his bromance with Hugh Jackman is proof that he's capable of forming genuine, lasting

04:03friendships.
