About this listen
July has been a headline-making month for me Ryan Reynolds with both personal and professional events keeping me at the center of celebrity and business news. The biggest headline came on July 1 when I was appointed an Officer to the Order of Canada during a Canada Day ceremony in Ottawa surrounded by my family including my wife Blake Lively. According to People magazine it was a moment of immense pride for me, and I expressed my gratitude to the communities across Canada that helped shape me. I joked on X that I’d like to “use my powers for good and general whimsy,” and the government cited my efforts to increase opportunities for underrepresented groups when awarding the honor.
Meanwhile on the business side Wrexham AFC the Welsh soccer club I co-own with Rob McElhenney kicked off its preseason tour in Australia this week, starting at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. The club, fresh off its third straight promotion and about to reenter England’s second division for the first time in 43 years, is gaining international buzz. Australian press called Wrexham “a hot ticket” and highlighted the club’s role in growing global football fandom through both success on the field and the Welcome to Wrexham documentary. Back home reports suggest Rob and I have backed manager Phil Parkinson with a major transfer budget to strengthen the squad, with rumors circulating about big-name player targets including Christian Eriksen, Tom Cairney, and Jamie Vardy.
Financially Park Magazine NY just spotlighted my estimated net worth at 350 million dollars. My business ventures are making almost as much news as my movies, from the legendary Mint Mobile sale to my ongoing stake in Aviation Gin, and my Alpine F1 investment continues to grow with the sport’s surging U.S. popularity. Deadpool and Wolverine crossed the one billion box office mark, reinforcing my leverage as a franchise anchor and business mogul.
On the entertainment side the romantic comedy The Proposal is suddenly trending again thanks to a Deadpool and Wolverine fourth wall joke and is climbing global streaming charts on Disney Plus. My social calendar has been selective—I skipped this year’s Met Gala with Blake, and next up, I’ll be presenting at the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal.
There’s also been personal drama. Blake Lively is preparing for a key deposition in her ongoing legal case against Justin Baldoni, but sources say I will not be attending the session, though I support her privately. In a recent Time magazine interview I commented on how the year’s gossip and legal scrutiny haven’t rattled my business focus or our family’s core values—a reminder that in the constant swirl of headlines, I’m just trying to keep it real.
