YOU DIDN'T KNOW THESE THINGS ABOUT RYAN REYNOLDS

Ryan Reynolds is considered a national treasure in Canada, where a plethora of information about the renowned actor is readily accessible.

In interviews, the 45-year-old, who is as beloved in Canada as maple syrup, regularly shows his love for his own country and always has something interesting to say about his upbringing or life as a Hollywood celebrity. See this glimpse inside the personal life of Ryan Reynolds, from his favorite movie to the restaurant he believes to be the greatest in the world, as well as his relatable childhood in Canada.

1. He and Scarlett Johansson were once wed.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Pepper Potts and Tony Stark's marriage wasn't the only one. The movie's Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, was formerly married to Ryan Reynolds.

Their three-year relationship came to an end when they broke up and started dating someone else. Most people have no idea at all that they were ever a couple.

2. One of his pals attempted to sell pictures of his daughter.

While there are many benefits associated with being famous, there are also many disadvantages that the average public is unaware of. While some celebrity friends may not behave differently as a result of their celebrity buddy, others may. A close friend of Reynolds made an attempt to resell photos of Reynolds' child and Blake Lively online. They're obviously no longer friends.

3. The Green Bay Packers are Ryan Reynolds's favorite team.

In lighter news, Ryan Reynolds is an avid supporter of the Green Bay Packers. Reynolds could have supported the Seahawks, his hometown team because he was raised in Vancouver, but he choose to back a team with a successful recent past instead. Reynolds, though, is not likely to be happy with way the previous season ended.

4. Accompanied Blake Lively on a double date that doubled as his friend's date.

In case you were unaware, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds got married in 2012. Things were a little unusual before they got married. Before they started dating, they went on a double date, but they weren't dates with each other. Although it's funny now, it's fascinating to see how they got to where they are.

5. It wasn't until he got to Los Angeles that he informed his parents that he was going to pursue an acting profession.

Reynolds' brief career as a comedian was short-lived since, prior to moving to Los Angeles, he had decided that acting would be his new passion. But until he arrived, his parents were unaware of that. Not only was it amazing that his parents were unaware of his motivation for moving to the large city until he really did, but it also meant they were unable to persuade him of it.

6. Originally, I was going to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a stand-up comedian.

When Reynolds first made the decision to move to Los Angeles, his goals were much different. Rather than pursue an acting career, his goal was to become a stand-up comedian. Reynolds still had the opportunity to make millions of people laugh, as he had already done in the films. Of course, it wasn't in a comedy club.

7. Founded His Social Media Profiles Only To Advertise "Deadpool"

Even while social networking isn't for everyone, many people might eventually require one for work-related purposes. That's exactly what happened on Ryan Reynolds's social media profiles.

Even if he's funny and highly active, the main purpose of his social media presence was to promote Deadpool, his next film. It's a great way to interact with the audience and promote a film.

8. He fractured his vertebrae when he leaped from a bridge.

You wouldn't think Reynolds would be the one to leap off a bridge with all of his phobias. He did, after all, and things didn't go well. Many people like to jump off small bridges for pleasure, but Reynolds did so at the risk of breaking his spine. Fortunately, it didn't prevent him from performing further performances in the future.

9. He used to board the wrong school bus in order to sit with his crush.

If you wanted your childhood crush to fall in love with you, how would you go about getting it? Ryan Reynolds came up with a really smart idea: he got on the wrong school bus so he could seat next to his crush. Is it uncomfortable?

Yes. Does it need a substantial amount of work? Of course. Is it clever? indubitably. Reynolds would seem to be one of the world's most cunning men if it succeeded.

10. Ryan Reynolds has a fear of crowds.

Ryan Reynolds also struggles with claustrophobia. That is another really difficult circumstance for an actor. Buried is one movie that comes to mind. Reynolds will never be able to play in a film like that if he can't overcome his inability to fit in. What's interesting is that he found out he was claustrophobic throughout the filming process.

11. He was a soap opera star once.

Looking at Ryan Reynolds now, you wouldn't realize that he appeared in a soap opera at the beginning of his career. Not to mention that he didn't pass the acting course in high school. Contrary to popular opinion, he did indeed begin his career in soap operas; fortunately, as he grew older and pursued other possibilities, he moved away from that.

12. He took an automobile from the school as an April Fool's joke.

Ryan Reynolds revealed to host Jeremy Clarkson in a 2012 edition of "Top Gear" that he had been "a bit of a pariah" in school. Reynolds, the youngest of four brothers who had all been expelled from the same school, was immediately identified as "a marked man" upon his arrival.

He explained that he didn't truly steal a car, although he did reveal that he was finally expelled for "stealing a car." Rather, Reynolds and his buddies had picked up and carried his little Volkswagen down the block as a practical joke for an April Fool's Day prank on a teacher they didn't like. They subsequently learned, meanwhile, that it is illegal in Canada to move another person's vehicle more than ten feet.
