Ryan Reynolds is calling it like it is, and in a particularly riveting speech about the importance of the creative story behind Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s ‘Wicked,’ he took time to tackle the standards society has set for women.
Ryan Reynolds Says ‘Wicked’ Centers On “Two Powerful Women” In Speech Praising It
‘Wicked’ has continued to thrill countless audiences in its two decades. If you want proof just look to the massive audience reception to the Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo screen adaptation, and you’ll know the story continues to resonate with many to this very day.
In a speech at the National Board of Review Awards Jan. 7 in New York, Reynolds took a feminist stance as he shared the box office success of ‘Wicked.’
“It dares to center on two powerful women,” Reynolds, 48, said. “It examines a nuanced, complex relationship which has resonated with people for over two decades on stage.
Stories about women seem to be held to a different set of standards, and that is to say that they’re often held to the standards women are held to in life. You must be perfect. You must hide your strength. You must shape-shift or placate.”
Lauding Universal Pictures and its chairman Donna Langley, the ‘Deadpool’ star added, “They know where and with whom to place their trust, and it paid off in this film.”
Reynolds, who shares kids James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, born in 2023 with Lively, has shown himself to be a very supportive spouse throughout the years of his marriage to his ‘Green Lantern’ co-star Lively. Even if it means threatening a sleazy co-star – so says the sleazy co-star – to stay off his wife’s radar

Reason Blake Lively Filed Lawsuit Against Justin Baldoni
Lively recently filed a legal claim against her ‘It Ends With Us’ co-star Justin Baldoni. She accused him of threatening to – and in fact launching – a smear campaign against her in light of their movie, ‘It Ends With Us,’ amongst other creepy behaviors onset.
“I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”
The author of the book the movie is based on – Colleen Hoover, hey – shared her unwavering support for the actress shortly after.
“@blakelively, you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met,” Colleen wrote on her Instagram Stories Dec. 21. “Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.”
