The couple formed by actors Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively is

one of the

most established in the world of cinema

.

They met in 2011 during the filming of

Green Lantern

, they married a year later and

are the parents of three girls.

A decade-long relationship in which the couple of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively has been characterized by adorable complicity and a sense of humor, which they show off whenever they have the opportunity, especially

through social networks.

Each has their own projects, and despite the fact that both seem focused on their acting work, few know that both also carry out

work as producers and even as screenwriters

This was revealed by Ryan Reynolds himself in an interview with

SiriusXM

, an entertainment platform with interviews, music and debates on topics of all kinds.

During the talk, the actor was asked to tell some unexpected detail for his followers about his relationship with his wife.

Thus, the actor revealed that he was the author of many of the dialogues of his films, and that Blake used to join with ideas and even

entire parts of the script written by her

, but that in Hollywood his work was never recognized, attributing it to Ryan in his place.

The actor

got serious when giving his answer

, giving as an example the work of Blake Lively in

Deadpool 2

(2018) and extolling the role of his wife as a screenwriter.

“He helped me a lot in

Deadpool

and in the rest of my films that have been a great success,” he insisted, “He has always put a lot of bricks in that wall.

Has a lot of talent.

There are outstanding scripts that I have done that were really by Blake;

I'd come in, grab the keyboard and say, 'And this?' and I'd say, 'It's great.'

A sexist industry

The actor, in addition, is clear why Blake was never included as a screenwriter in the credits of many of his films, and

denounced the discrimination she suffered for being a woman

.

“Maybe it's because there is an

intrinsic sexism in the industry,

” he said, “I've said it many times: 'She wrote this, Blake wrote it, not me.

It was her. '

And they, later, repeat the story like: 'I wrote it.'

The actor himself recently confessed in an interview that Blake would also be responsible for many of the details of

Free Guy: Taking Control

(2021) his recently released film (which will arrive in Argentina on August 12), with

dialogues written by her

and even very wise decisions regarding the wardrobe that the Canadian wore in the film.

Directed by Shawn Levy, the film follows a cashier who discovers that he is a character from an open-world video game, called Free City, who will soon be taken offline.

Currently,

Reynolds is working on

Deadpool 3

, the third installment in the successful saga that has now become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at Disney;

so we will have to wait to see if, finally, Blake Lively is included in the credits recognizing his work as a screenwriter.
