By Reynolds's description, real freedom comes from preparation -- advice that applies to any line of work.
Btw, what he ate for being so fit.
Life lessons from Ryan Reynolds.
I think Ryan Reynolds is a great actor. He's not only very smart, he's got his head right.
And he is married to the hottest actress in the world - Scarlett Johannson. If that's not saying
enough he's got a body to die for. Here's his advice on life.
Whether he's talking about inhabiting characters or running races, there's a theme that arises frequently in Reynolds's conversations: goals versus expectations. He has plenty of goals, both professional and personal, but as much as he can, he tries to avoid having expectations -- simply assuming that something is going to happen without doing the work. "When you have expectations, you are setting yourself up for disappointment," Reynolds says. "I didn't expect to finish the marathon; I trained to finish it."
By Reynolds's description, real freedom comes from preparation -- advice that applies to any line of work.
More than anything, what drives Reynolds as an actor is remembering what happened on those occasions when he showed up unready. He doesn't mention specifics, but he's been in films, he says, where he just wasn't able to put in the time to prepare. "I was in over my head and I wasn't ready to do the work properly. I couldn't own the moments. They felt false."
Btw, what he ate for being so fit.
