In recent weeks, a rumor has spread rapidly across social media, fueled by the excitement surrounding Ryan Reynolds‘ latest Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film, Deadpool & Wolverine. Fans are abuzz with the question: does Ryan Reynolds have a twin brother named Gordon Reynolds? This speculation has gained traction due to the film crediting a character named Gordon Reynolds as “Nicepool,” a gentler version of Deadpool. Here’s the full story behind this viral rumor.
Gordon Reynolds: A Fictional Creation by Ryan Reynolds
To set the record straight, Gordon Reynolds is not Ryan Reynolds’ twin brother. The character of Gordon Reynolds was entirely invented by Ryan Reynolds himself. According to ComingSoon.net, Gordon first appeared in a 2016 GQ interview as part of a satirical segment in which Reynolds introduced Gordon as a rude and unstable twin. This interview was part of Ryan Reynolds’ “Man of the Year” series, designed purely for comedic effect.
In the GQ interview, the fictional Gordon Reynolds made several inappropriate and sarcastic remarks, including jabs at Ryan Reynolds’ wife, Blake Lively, and mocking his performance in the film Green Lantern. The entire segment was meant to be humorous and should not be interpreted as a serious portrayal of a real twin brother.
“Gordon Reynolds was never intended to be taken seriously. The character was purely a joke, a creation for satire,” as confirmed by sources close to the actor.
The Role of Gordon Reynolds in Deadpool & Wolverine
The character of Gordon Reynolds resurfaced in the latest MCU film, Deadpool & Wolverine, where he is credited as “Nicepool.” This version of Gordon is a complete departure from his 2016 portrayal. In the film, Nicepool is a variant of Deadpool, characterized by his polite and kind nature, contrasting sharply with the original Deadpool’s crass and violent persona.
Nicepool’s inclusion in the movie was another clever piece of satire, designed to play on the ongoing joke of Ryan Reynolds’ “twin” and to entertain fans who remember the original GQ interview.
Gordon Reynolds in Ryan Reynolds’ YouTube Videos
Gordon Reynolds didn’t just stop at the GQ interview. The character also appeared in several videos on Ryan’ YouTube channel, notably in 2018 and 2021. In these videos, Gordon continued his role as a provocateur, making jokes about various topics, including Reynolds’ alcohol brand, Aviation Gin, and even the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite claims that he wouldn’t insult Reynolds in the 2021 video, Gordon broke this promise, continuing to mock the actor. These videos further solidified Gordon Reynolds as a humorous, fictional character rather than a real person.
Ryan Reynolds’ Real-Life Brothers
In reality, Ryan Reynolds has three brothers: Jeff, Terry, and Patrick Reynolds. The actor has frequently spoken about his close bond with his siblings, who grew up with him in Vancouver, Canada.
Jeff Reynolds is the most private of the siblings, rarely making public appearances. However, Ryan has expressed deep affection for Jeff, calling him his “first friend” in a heartfelt birthday post from 2017.
Terry Reynolds followed their father’s footsteps by joining the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), a career that has been a significant part of the Reynolds family legacy.
Patrick Reynolds chose a different path, pursuing a career in education. He currently teaches at Coyote Creek Elementary in British Columbia and has been praised by Ryan for his dedication to his students.
Final Thoughts
So, the rumor about Ryan Reynolds having a twin brother named Gordon is purely fictional, rooted in a comedic creation by the actor himself. Gordon Reynolds, or Nicepool, is just another example of Ryan Reynolds’ playful sense of humor and his knack for engaging with fans in unexpected ways.
