At one point, he even decided to quit acting.

Ryan Reynolds Found Blake Lively During The Darkest Crease
Ryan Reynolds has been extremely vocal about his massive defeat with a movie likeGreen Lantern. Even though the actor’s career went for a toss for a while, the actor’s friendship with Blake Lively turned into an everlasting love story as the actors tied the knot in 2012. Reynolds famously poked fun at the ill-fated movie:
“I met Blake on the darkest crease in the a*us of the universe called Green Lantern. And we were friends and buddies and then, about a year and a half later, we actually went out on a double date, but we were dating separate people.
But it was during their trip to Boston, that Reynolds begged Lively to sleep with him, and this is how one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples was born. The two have remained together since 2012, and share four adorable children.
