Ryan Reynolds has one of the most versatile careers in Hollywood. What the actor started in pursuit of getting away from home turned into one of the most inspiring journeys that the world has seen. Reynolds went from being the go-to high school sweetheart to an action movie staple. However, one thing that has stuck with him is his good nature and even better humor. This image of Reynolds got tainted when his on-screen best friend in Deadpool made him seem very rude. However, a new soldier has come up to defend Ryan Reynolds’ honor.

The Deadpool franchise, despite never introducing the merc with a mouth’s biological family, developed one with characters like Blind Al. The closest thing to what Deadpool has of a godmother, Blind-Al, played by Leslie Uggams, has revealed what ties her to the franchise.

Leslie Uggams has a sweet reason why she loves working with Ryan Reynolds

The 79-year-old actress is best known for her role as Blind Al in Deadpool. In a franchise revolving around Deadpool, who is known equally for being a merc with a mouth and his killer sense of humor, Blind Al has managed to steal the spotlight with hers. As the actress brings to the digital world another inspiring comedic tale in the form of Dotty and Soul, she dished about what she loves about reprising the role of Blind Al. “Of course, I just love Ryan, and so I’m excited,” she said in an interview with movie fone.

In the movie, Deadpool and Blind Al fit together like two peas in a pod through their lethal sense of humor. The news of her return to the franchise allowed for fans to take a breath they did not even know they were holding. However, with her statement about loving Ryan Reynolds, she has given fans another reason to let out a sigh of relief.
