Ryan Reynolds har prisats och hyllats för sin insats som Wade Wilson/Deadpool i fjolårsfilmen med samma namn. Bland annat nominerades skådespelaren för en Golden Globe vilket fick många att tro att han även skulle nomineras till en Oscar, men så blev alltså inte fallet. Nu har kollegan Jake Gyllenhaal kommenterat det hela eftersom han anser att
"We talk about brilliant performances all the time, you know, the actors who tear themselves apart for their roles, which I'm a believer in. But then I look at Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool and I say, 'No one can do that but him. That is truly, purely him. As an artist he struggled for several years to figure that out and it's all there on the screen. And it's brilliant. Sure it's a comic book movie and it's made a lot of money, but that doesn't subtract from Ryan's extraordinary work. Because it's him. I mean, let's ask ourselves: What else do we want from people who create? Something that is truly them."
