They never miss an opportunity to poke fun at each other, whether itâs about their birthdays, anniversaries, movies, or soccer teams. Here are some of the best examples of how they troll each other with love and humor.
Birthday Burns of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
One of the most common occasions for Blake and Ryan Reynolds to troll each other is their birthdays. They have a tradition of posting unflattering or cropped photos of each other, along with sarcastic captions, to celebrate their special days. For example, on Ryanâs 44th birthday in October 2020, Blake posted a photo of him eating a pie with his face covered in whipped cream, and wrote, âI honestly canât believe weâre still married.â
On Blake Livelyâs 33rd birthday in August 2020, Ryan Reynolds posted a photo of her with her eyes closed, and wrote, âHappy Birthday, @blakelively. I picked a good one.â On Ryanâs 43rd birthday in October 2019, Blake posted a photo of him holding a cake, but cropped out most of his face, and wrote, âI love you more than ever.â On Blakeâs 32nd birthday in August 2019, Ryan posted a series of photos of her, but most of them were blurry, out of focus, or had her eyes closed, and wrote, âHappy Birthday, @blakelively.â
Anniversary Antics of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Another occasion for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds to troll each other is their wedding anniversary. They have a habit of making fun of each otherâs movies or projects, or pretending to forget the date. For example, on their 8th anniversary in September 2020, Ryan posted a photo of him and Blake at a restaurant, and wrote, âOur wedding was a beautiful, meaningful and intimate ceremony in 2012. But, for our anniversary, I wanted to surprise @blakelively with something special. I didnât think I could ever love her more, but I did something that blew her away. I got her an unlimited pass to Boston Market.â
On their 7th anniversary in September 2019, Blake posted a photo of her and Ryan at the premiere of his movie Free Guy, and wrote, âHappy Anniversary, @vancityreynolds. This is the most polite way Iâve ever been asked to leave a movie theater.â On their 6th anniversary in September 2018, Ryan posted a photo of a billboard for his movie The Hitmanâs Bodyguard, which featured him and Samuel L. Jackson, and wrote, âHappy Anniversary, @blakelively. Best. Year. Ever.â
Movie Mockery of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Blake and Ryan also like to troll each other about their movies or roles, especially when they are competing at the box office or awards shows. They often make jokes about each otherâs characters, reviews, or performances, or compare them to other actors. For example, in December 2020, Blake posted a photo of Ryan as Deadpool, and wrote, âMy husband looks so handsome in this photo. I canât believe heâs actually in The Proposal with Sandra Bullock.â
In November 2020, Ryan posted a video of him watching his movie Buried, in which he plays a man trapped in a coffin, and wrote, âBefore Deadpool, I was an actor. One of my favorite projects was a film called Buried and itâs now on @Hulu. 10 years later, it really holds up! Although I donât recall the aggressive product placement. #Buried.â In the video, he shows a bottle of Aviation Gin, his own brand, inside the coffin.
In February 2020, Blake posted a photo of her and Ryan at the premiere of his movie 6 Underground, and wrote, âI love this movie. 6 Underground is so good. Itâs not The Notebook, but itâs close.â In January 2020, Ryan posted a photo of him and Blake at the Golden Globes, where he was nominated for his role in Deadpool, and wrote, âThank you, Golden Globes. To be nominated in the same category as Hugh Jackman is a dream come true. Iâve always wanted to meet him. He seems like a really nice guy. Iâm a huge fan. #ThankYouHughJackman #HughJackmanIsMyHero #HughJackmanIsTheBest #ILoveHughJackman #HughJackmanIsABetterActorThanMe #HughJackmanIsABetterPersonThanMe #HughJackmanIsGodâ
Soccer Shenanigans
Blake and Ryan also troll each other about their soccer teams, especially since Ryan became a co-owner of the Welsh club Wrexham AFC in 2020. They often tease each other about the results, the players, or the fans of their respective teams.
For example, in January 2021, Blake posted a photo of her and Ryan watching a match between Wrexham and Sheffield United, and wrote, âI bought espn+ today. Just to watch my husband experience crippling anxiety live. Worth it.â In December 2020, Ryan posted a video of him and Rob McElhenney, his fellow co-owner of Wrexham, announcing a special Christmas message for the fans, and wrote, âTo the 2,000 lucky Wrexham fans who get to watch us play on Boxing Day, I have a very special message for you. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.â In the video, he and Rob reveal that they have hired Macaulay Culkin, the star of Home Alone, to deliver the message.
In November 2020, Blake posted a photo of her and Ryan wearing Wrexham jerseys, and wrote, âI donât know much about soccer, but I do know that @vancityreynolds is very passionate about this team. He talks about them all the time. He even has a tattoo of their logo on his chest. He says itâs his favorite thing in the world. Well, second favorite. After me. And our kids. And our dogs. And our house. And our cars. And our friends. And our family. And our jobs. And our hobbies. And our health. And our happiness. And our love. But other than that, he really loves this team. Go Wrexham!â
Some possible continuations of the response are:
- In October 2020, Ryan posted a photo of him and Blake holding a Wrexham scarf, and wrote, âIâm so proud to be a part of this historic club. Wrexham is the third oldest professional soccer team in the world and one of the most storied. They have a loyal and passionate fan base that deserves the best. Thatâs why Iâm thrilled to announce that @blakelively has agreed to join me as a co-owner. Sheâs a huge soccer fan and a brilliant businesswoman. Sheâs also a lot better looking than me. Welcome to the team, Blake. Youâre the best signing weâve ever made. #WxmAFCâ
- In September 2020, Blake posted a photo of her and Ryan wearing Manchester United jerseys, and wrote, âHappy anniversary, @vancityreynolds. Eight years ago, we said âI doâ at a beautiful, meaningful and intimate ceremony in South Carolina. It was the best day of our lives. But, for our anniversary, I wanted to surprise you with something special. I know how much you love soccer and how much you admire Manchester United. So, I got us tickets to see them play at Old Trafford. I also got us matching jerseys with our names and wedding date on the back. I hope you like them. I love you more than ever. P.S. Donât worry, I still support Wrexham. But, for today, letâs go Red Devils. #MUFCâ
- In August 2020, Ryan posted a photo of him and Blake wearing Liverpool jerseys, and wrote, âHappy birthday, @blakelively. You are the most amazing woman Iâve ever met. Youâre smart, funny, beautiful, talented, and kind. Youâre also a great mother, wife, friend, and partner. You make me a better person every day. Iâm so lucky to have you in my life. But, for your birthday, I wanted to give you something special. Something youâve always wanted. Something youâve been dreaming of for years. Something that would make you the happiest person in the world. So, I got you a Liverpool jersey. I know how much you love this team and how much you admire their players. Especially Mohamed Salah. Heâs your favorite, right? You always talk about him. You always watch his games. You even have a poster of him in our bedroom. Well, guess what? I also got you a personalized video message from him. He says happy birthday and he loves you. He also says heâs a big fan of yours and he wants to meet you. He even invited you to come to Anfield and watch him play. How cool is that? I hope you like it. I love you more than anything. P.S. Donât worry, I still support Wrexham. But, for today, letâs go Reds. #LFCâ
