Ryan Reynolds Confesses to ‘Grand Theft’ on Deadpool Set—You Won’t Believe What He Stole from Disney!

In a world where fame and success often make people forget the little things, Ryan Reynolds has always found a way to remain grounded. Known for his humor and infectious personality, he constantly reminds fans that sometimes the most memorable moments aren’t the ones with the grandest gestures, but rather the playful, light-hearted moments that bring joy to those around him. One such moment came when Reynolds shared a hilarious story about what he “stole” from the set of Deadpool & Wolverine, a film that marked a significant chapter in the Deadpool saga.

In a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Reynolds casually revealed a cheeky act of “grand theft” that sent fans into a frenzy. While filming the 2024 summer blockbuster, which saw Deadpool officially join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Reynolds couldn’t resist swiping a unique piece of the set—the costume worn by Paul Mullin, a Welsh footballer and striker for Wrexham AFC, who made a cameo as a variant of Deadpool named Welshpool. This version of Deadpool sported a costume emblazoned with a red dragon, symbolizing the Welsh flag.

What made the moment even more special was the fact that Wrexham AFC, the team Reynolds co-owns, holds a deep place in his heart. He explained with laughter that the costume now resides at The Racecourse Ground, the world’s oldest international football stadium, which happens to be the home ground of Wrexham AFC. In a charmingly playful tone, Reynolds called it “actual grand theft” and joked about how Disney didn’t seem too bothered by the act. “They don’t have lawyers or anything,” Reynolds quipped, playing along with Colbert’s suggestion that Disney wasn’t known for being litigious.

Of course, Reynolds quickly assured everyone that Disney was “good” with his impromptu theft, showing that even the biggest entertainment company in the world could appreciate his sense of humor. It wasn’t just about the costume—it was about the connection it represented: the bond between Reynolds, his beloved football team, and the world of Deadpool.

This moment, while humorous, encapsulated the essence of Reynolds’ approach to life. He doesn’t take himself too seriously, and he never lets his fame overshadow his values—whether it’s his deep love for his family, his passion for his business ventures, or his commitment to his fans. As he continues to lead a successful career, Reynolds remains a man who is unafraid to embrace his quirks and enjoy the simple pleasures, such as snagging a costume as a souvenir to commemorate the intersection of his professional and personal worlds.

Reynolds’ generosity also shines through in how he supports his friends and colleagues. In Deadpool & Wolverine, the movie was filled with star-studded cameos, with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, including Jennifer Garner, Channing Tatum, and Chris Evans. For Tatum, the film was especially meaningful as it allowed him to finally play the character Gambit, a role he’d wanted for years. Tatum expressed his gratitude to Reynolds, saying, “I will owe him probably forever” for making his dream role a reality. Evans, too, shared his excitement, returning to his Marvel roots not as Captain America, but as Johnny Storm from Fantastic Four. Both actors, like many others, praised Reynolds for his kindness and generosity.

Beyond the big-screen cameos and the comedic antics, Reynolds’ personal life also weaved seamlessly into the film. His wife, Blake Lively, made a rare appearance as Ladypool, a female variant of Deadpool. The couple’s children even made cameos or helped on set, showcasing their family’s deep involvement in Reynolds’ work. Lively herself shared that her portrayal of Ladypool was inspired, in part, by her own life, adding a magical layer of humor and connection to the film.

Ryan Reynolds’ journey is a reminder that success isn’t just about accolades or fame; it’s about staying true to yourself, finding joy in the little things, and sharing those moments with the people you love. Whether it’s a stolen costume from a film set or a heartfelt tribute from a friend, Reynolds continues to prove that sometimes, it’s the simplest actions that create the most lasting memories. His playful spirit, dedication to his family, and unwavering kindness are the true “souvenirs” he carries with him, making his story one of inspiration, humility, and heart.
