Ryan Reynolds appeared on Thursday’s Late Night with Seth Meyers where he promoted a John Candy documentary
Ryan Reynolds has faced backlash over his “disturbing” Blake Lively vasectomy comment. The actor has been slammed for making the comment following the birth of his son.
The star appeared on Thursday’s Late Night with Seth Meyers where he was promoting a John Candy documentary. He spoke about how life had changed in his house since he and wife Blake had their first son Olin.
He said that the pair, who are also parents to daughters James, 10, Inez, 9, and Betty, six, “would never” have had four children if their baby boy had been born first. Ryan said: “We live in a very… like there’s nothing violent in our home.

“There’s nothing creepy. [But Olin] came out with three things on his mind. It was violence, breasts and engines. I really don’t understand where this comes from. If I had like three boys at first, I would never… there’s no way. I would give myself a punching vasectomy. Like, there’s no way I would allow that to happen.”
However, viewers weren’t too pleased with the remark as many took to social media to slam the comment. Many labelled the comment as “disgusting”.
One wrote: “I have so much sympathy for Blake and Ryan’s children who are going to grow up and see their parents talk about them in such disparaging manners.”
“Ryan Reynolds clearly holds a lot of resentment towards his little boy. Who talks about their child like that?,” a second added.
Another said: “Exactly this, he says that before his boy came, there was nothing violent or creepy about our home, but now that the boy is here, it’s all violence and breasts. I actually feel sick. Who calls their brand new baby boy creepy and violent?”
“And one day his kid is going to grow up and see how much his parents resented him. What a clown,” a fourth person pointed out.
Fans also criticised Ryan for hijacking the tour for the John Candy documentary, pointing out that he wasn’t featured in the film and that director Colin Hanks wasn’t included in the promotion.
Ryan and Blake tied the knot in 2012 after first crossing paths on the set of Green Lantern back in 2010. They then went on to welcome first child, James, in December 2014, who was then followed by Ines on September 30, 2016.
Youngest daughter Betty was born just before the coronavirus pandemic in October 2019 and their youngest, Olin, arrived in February 2023. The Mirror have contacted Ryan’s reps for comment.
