Ryan Reynolds faces being ‘horrifically mean’ on Deadpool set claim.
T.J. Miller’s allegations against Ryan Reynolds during their time on the Deadpool set have resurfaced amidst Reynolds and his actress-wife Blake Lively’s ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us director-actor Justin Baldoni. In a 2022 interview on The Adam Carolla Show, Miller, who played Weasel in the Deadpool films, described an unpleasant experience with Reynolds, claiming the lead actor was “horrifically mean” to him.
“As the character, he was, like, horrifically mean to me. But to me. As if I’m Weasel,” Miller said, reflecting on their on-set interactions. He recalled a specific comment Reynolds allegedly made, saying, “He was like, ‘You know what’s great about you, Weasel? You’re not the star, but you do just enough exposition that it’s funny, and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.’”
Miller found the remark odd, attributing it to Reynolds’ potential insecurities. “I think he said that because I’m not funnier than he is at all, right? And I haven’t been in more movies than him,” Miller suggested. Despite the tension, he acknowledged Reynolds’ comedic talent, describing him as “so quick and so funny.”
However, the Big Hero 6 actor clarified that he harboured no ill will toward Reynolds, though he wouldn’t collaborate with him again. “Would I work with him again? No. I would not. But I wish him well because he’s so good at Deadpool, and I think it’s weird that he hates me,” Miller said.
These comments have resurfaced as Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, face a $400 million lawsuit filed by actor-director Justin Baldoni. The lawsuit accuses the couple of invasion of privacy, defamation, and civil extortion. While the details of the legal battle are still unfolding, Miller’s allegations have reignited discussions about Reynolds’ on-set behavior.
Miller portrayed Weasel, the protagonist’s sarcastic best friend and bar owner, in the first two Deadpool films.
