    Ryan Reynolds doesn't pay attention to his online critics

    The 48-year-old actor and Blake Lively, his wife, are currently involved in a high-profile legal dispute with actor Justin Baldoni, but Ryan insists that he doesn't pay too much attention to the online discourse.


    Asked whether the online negativity impacts his business ventures, Ryan told Time magazine: "I can read something that says, 'He should be drawn and quartered.' I could read something that says I should win a Nobel Prize. Both are meaningless.

    "None of us are comprised of our best moments. None of us are defined by our worst moments. We are something in the middle."

    Ryan has found a healthy way of dealing with the scrutiny during his time in the spotlight.

    The Hollywood star - who has been married to Blake since 2012 - explained: "Accessibility and accountability are a big part of how I do things.

    "The people that I work with know me, so there's never a question of anything like that. If you operate with some degree of core values and integrity, they're going to help you up. If you're an a******, they're not. And that's pretty simple."

    Ryan's attitude has been shaped by "conflict-resolution workshops" that he previously attended.

    The Deadpool star said: "I skipped rehab in my 20s and decided to go to conflict-resolution workshops in Santa Fe.

    "Conflict resolution changed my life in a way that I can't quantify. You don't have to agree with the person. You can empathise, you can validate. You can do all those things and get closer to them without having to just blindly agree or win or lose."

    In 2020, Ryan and his showbiz pal Rob McElhenney became the co-owners of Wrexham AFC, a soccer club based in north Wales.

    The duo have helped to transform the fortunes of the team, and Rob appreciates Ryan's support and ambition.

    Rob said: "Ryan's involvement took this from a very small endeavour to a very large endeavour overnight because he has the ability to connect with millions and millions of people. And I don't just mean on social media. I mean spiritually."
