Ryan Reynolds’ latest controversy couldn’t come at a worse time for the actor.
A recently resurfaced clip from the filmmaker commentary track cut of “Deadpool & Wolverine” is making the rounds, and Reynolds is under fire for admitting he had his then-7-year-old, Inez, say an explicit line in the film.
In one of the scenes from the 2024 film, Inez, as the character Kidpool, says “Hey, when I want your opinion, I’ll take Wolverine’s dick out of your mouth.”
Reynolds admitted that he was “guilty” of having his second child say the line.
“I’m so sorry we have to admit that,” director Shawn Levy says, laughing.
“And I am father of the year over here for allowing her to say such language,” Reynolds explained. “Which, to her credit, she really didn’t want to say.”
He said he was already interviewing other people to say the line when Inez “came back later and said ‘I want to say it now.’”
Levy said that to the two’s “discredit,” they “made Nezzy do, I’m not shitting you, 70 to 500 versions of that line.”
“I’m going to pay for that later,” Reynolds said.
Many in the comments ― and on the internet ― disapprove of Reynolds making his daughter say such an inappropriate line.
“I thought it was very crude in the movie having those words come out of a little kid and now, knowing that was his OWN child he put that kind of pressure on her or he would find another child actor to say it for the scene…That is sooo disturbing,” one commenter wrote.
Another person added that it was “Disturbing to have a 7 year old say such a vulgar line and to repeat it up to 500 times. WOW! Disgusting.”
The clip, which came out last year, is now making headlines as more and more of Reynolds and wife Blake Lively’s interviews and actions are under scrutiny due to their lawsuit against actor Justin Baldoni.

In December, Lively filed a federal lawsuit alleging that Baldoni sexually harassed her on the set of the film “It Ends With Us” and led a smear campaign to tarnish her reputation.
In response, Baldoni filed a $400 million countersuit against Lively and Reynolds, accusing them of defamation.
He is also pursuing a $250 million libel lawsuit against The New York Times over its reporting on Lively’s allegations.
