Ryan Reynolds, the incredibly charming actor, made an appearance on Conan O’Brien‘s talk show recently, and he had some exciting news to share. Reynolds, who has quickly become one of the most beloved dads in Hollywood, proudly announced that he recently welcomed a baby girl into his family. The audience erupted in applause as Conan congratulated him on this joyous occasion.
The conversation quickly turned to fatherhood, with Conan asking Reynolds about his experience so far. “It’s very exciting,” Reynolds admitted with a smile. “Almost anyone can do it, almost anyone.” He went on to express his pride and excitement, despite acknowledging that he is still figuring it all out.
Curious about what Reynolds wants to be called by his little one, Conan asked if he had a preference. Reynolds explained that he had never given it much thought but mentioned that some people opt for “Papa.” He jokingly added, “We make clocks for a living in Scandinavia, so why not?” Ultimately, Reynolds stated that he didn’t mind what he was called as long as his daughter was happy.
However, as his baby girl is still very young, Reynolds shared a hilarious observation. “She’s starting to say ‘mama,’ and breasts seem to be her life support system,” Reynolds joked, much to the amusement of the audience. He added that right now, it’s all about mom, but he jokingly admitted to being “breastless” and wandering around the room to catch his daughter’s attention occasionally.
Reynolds also shared a funny anecdote about his daughter’s first words. “Ironically, her first words to me were, ‘You’re dead to me,'” he quipped with a grin. “She said, ‘You did your part, now get out and leave me and mom alone.'” It seems like his daughter already has a sense of humor!
The conversation then shifted to the delivery room, with Conan asking Reynolds if he was present for the birth. Reynolds confirmed that he was indeed there, jokingly mentioning that he was present for the conception, so it was the least he could do. He even admitted to seeing things during the delivery but quickly exclaimed, “Amazing!” to emphasize his awe and respect for his wife’s strength.
Reynolds couldn’t help but praise his wife’s sense of humor during the intense moments of childbirth. “She was cracking jokes in the delivery room,” he revealed. “She may have been on drugs, but I don’t ask personal questions,” he quipped, eliciting laughter from the audience. It’s clear that Reynolds admires his wife’s ability to find humor even in challenging situations.
When asked about his role in the delivery process, Reynolds humorously admitted to being a terrible coach. He joked about going for high-fives and providing moral support but acknowledged that he wasn’t exactly helpful during the actual delivery. “I’m not going to lie, I was like, ‘Come on, my leg is in there, push!'” he said, bringing laughter to the talk show set.
It’s always refreshing to see celebrities like Ryan Reynolds open up about the joys and challenges of parenthood. His sense of humor and genuine love for his family shine through, making him even more endearing to fans. With his ever-present charm, it’s no wonder that Reynolds continues to captivate audiences on and off the screen.
