Most high-profile celebrity personas are a well-planned, highly sanitized representation meant to have as broad an appeal as possible. Usually, it’s because stakes are high, of course; many of the rich and famous have taken a significant blow to their popularity and bank statements due to many a spicy Tweet.

And then there’s Ryan Reynolds.

The Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place actor takes comedic chances online to great effect, a reflection of his trickster tendencies and irreverent side. His constant social media trolling of his wife, Blake Lively, and sometimes-song-and-dance-man-sometime-Wolverine pal Hugh Jackman, as well as web denizens at-large, have become a staple for the Canadian actor. A bland and boring internet presence would be too inauthentic and counterproductive for an actor best known for being the cinematic manifestation of Marvel’s potty mouth prankster and anti-hero Deadpool.
