In a surprising revelation, veteran actor Josh Brolin confesses his admiration for fellow actor Ryan Reynolds after being captivated by their on-screen chemistry in the hit movie “The Proposal.”
The 50-year-old star shares that witnessing Reynolds and Sandra Bullock’s dynamic as feuding lovers in the popular 2009 romantic comedy sparked his desire to collaborate with Reynolds in Deadpool 2, where he portrayed the antagonist Cable alongside Reynolds’ iconic Deadpool character.
Brolin candidly expressed his fondness for Reynolds in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, disclosing, “I was a secret fan of ‘The Proposal,’ having watched it several times by myself.
I told Ryan.
I was like, ‘I don’t know why this is, and I don’t know what this means psychologically, behaviourally, emotionally, but I have kind of a crush on you.'”
Despite Brolin’s open admiration, Reynolds, aged 41, humorously questions the authenticity of his co-star’s claims, doubting whether Brolin truly appreciates his work in romantic comedies.
Reynolds jokingly remarks on Brolin’s unexpected revelation, stating, “Like, he pretends he’s, like, all sort of New Agey sometimes and all this stuff, but deep down inside I just think his heart is made of some, like, jagged chunk of Yosemite granite.
I don’t buy that underneath all this textured skin is a sweet little angel that loves romantic comedies.
