Ryan Reynolds Opens Up About His Naked Fight Scene in DEADPOOL
If you saw Deadpool, then you know there was an entire scene in which Wade Wilson, a.k.a. Deadpool, fought Ajax completely naked. If case you were wondering if he really was naked during that scene, the answer is yes. Ryan Reynolds let it all hang out.
The actor talked about shooting that scene and preparing for it by going through eight hours of make-up effects in which Reynolds was getting himself covered in head-to-toe scarring for the Deadpool look. On Ellen DeGeneres' talk show, he said:
"You just have a little talk with the crew at the beginning of the day. You say, 'Guys, you're gonna see things that you maybe shouldn't see.' I kinda got an idea of what it’s like to work in the adult film industry. By lunch time, you're just like, 'Oh, Greek salad is good, isn't it?' and you're just totally nude standing there."
Reynolds was obviously willing and prepared to do anything and everything to bring this character to life on the big screen the right way. He went on to joke:
”I’m not above taking my clothes off for money.”
