Ryan Reynolds revealed that he had a nervous breakdown after filming the mega hit R-rated superhero movie Deadpool.
He said he mentally collapsed after the wrapping up the film production, saying he felt like he was on a schooner surrounded by white squall, People reported. He said he mentally collapsed and literally had the shakes. He went to see different doctors and all of them said the same thing, that he has anxiety.
Deadpool is a big thing for Reynolds and he has been lobbying this superhero to the studios for 11 years. And translating this character into a Marvel adaptation movie took a toll on his nervous system. He said he wasn't just aiming to make a movie out of it, he was really trying to develop a cultural phenomenon.
Deadpool is a superhero character who is aware of how crazy it is that he is a superhero character. He literally made fun and challenge every stereotypical thing that defines a superhero character and movie. That is just fitting for Ryan Reynolds because he is also a movie star who is aware of how crazy it is that he is one. And that perhaps is how he prophesized that Deadpool was going to be a big hit, GQ reported.
He admitted that the movie's success brings vindication to him, especially after being rejected by the studio for a decade. Now he is making a Deadpool sequel. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick co-writes with him in the new movie. He is writing the story at his farm in upstate New York.
He knew Lively was the one after sex, he jested. Kidding aside, he said they were in a restaurant in Tribeca when he asked her to dance. After having a moment, he realized that he just crossed a line.
Besides Deadpool, he also has another film project called "Life." This movie is also written by Rhett and Paul. It is a film revolves in an International Space Station, as they discover extraterrestrial life. He will be working with Jake Gyllenhaal in this movie, which is the first time that he had worked with the actor.
