He told Linkedin News in 2021 that it was the 'perfect time' to take a step back, adding, "Well, I’ve done a lot of [acting], the biggest thing for me, and I know you have kids as well, is that I don’t want to miss this time with my kids."

Before adding that he just wants to 'live life like a normal human' with his wife and children.

Ryan Reynolds lives with his wife Blake and their four children in a luxury New York mansion. Though it's been reported that the Deadpool actor has bought a home in North Wales, to be close to Wrexham AFC - the football club he co-owns with Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney.
