Ryan Reynolds set up Twitter to troll himself

Ryan Reynolds set up his Twitter account to say awful things… to himself.
The Deadpool actor revealed his bizarre sense of humour in an interview with British newspaper The Metro to promote his new advert for BT Infinity’s Got Faster Campaign.
When asked about his Twitter biography – which describes the 39-year-old Canadian star as Uncle Dale’s nephew – he seemed slightly hesitant as to what answer to give.
“Er, yeah. I don’t know if I should reveal the truth behind that or not,” he stuttered during the interview with Metro.
“Er, well. I don’t really have an Uncle Dale. He’s just a character I invented to say awful things to Ryan Reynolds on social media,” he explained.
Ryan, who clearly has a bizarre sense of humour adds: “So usually he’s trolling me in some hideous way and I just think that’s kind of funny.
“I guess I wanted to see what it would feel like to be both trolled and trollee….,” he laughed.
The actor has enjoyed massive success with superhero film Deadpool, which broke several box office records including biggest R-rated opening weekend with $132.7 million (£92million) over Friday-to-Sunday, and biggest opening weekend for first-time director, Tim Miller. But Ryan also revealed what his backup plan was if he hadn’t made it as an actor.
“Well, I come from a long line of cops… so I’d probably have become a firefighter, just to p**s them off.”
It was recently reported that Ryan and wife Blake Lively, who are already parents to 16-month-old daughter James, are expecting their second child. And father-of-one Ryan was ready with some helpful advice when asked what he would tell his 16-year-old self.
“Probably just to chill out a bit. Take a few breaths and just know that the race is long – it’s a marathon not a sprint,” he answered wisely.
Ryan has been signed up for Deadpool 2, and will next star in film Life, with a script written by the same team behind the hit movie, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese. It will be shot in London this summer (16).
The wise-cracking actor will be moving away from comedy for this production, as the sci-fi movie is set on a space station.
“It’s dramatic science-fiction and that’s all I can really say about it but it should be a lot of fun. Lord knows I love shooting in London so it should be a great experience…” he smiled.
