Someone Criticizes Ryan Reynolds For Promoting R-Rated Movie To Kids Battling Cancer And His Response Is Epic
During the filming of the sequel to the hit movie Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds and the crew decided to invite some kids with pretty serious medical conditions on set to meet their heroes. “One of the best parts of playing the Big Red Jackass is welcoming @makeawishamerica and @childrenswishfoundation onto set,” he wrote on Instagram. “Deadpool kicked Cancer in the taint, but these kids do it for real every day.”
Nice move right? Not everyone thought so. “Guys Deadpool is an R-rated movie and those kids are watching it… I think something is wrong here,” was the response of one fan. Fair enough, that’s their opinion and they are entitled to it. I don’t necessarily agree, but I wouldn’t consider it a ‘troll’ either.
Clearly this commenter was in the minority and was quickly shut down, with Reynolds himself delivering his own comeback. “Yup. Deadpool is Rated R,” he said. “If my kid went through a fraction of the s–t these kids deal with daily, I think they can watch whatever they like. That’s just my .02 cents.”
Nice reply! These are some special kids going through some seriously tough circumstances. Perhaps a day on set with a movie-star might be just what they need, so why not focus on the positives? Scroll down to see Ryan and the kids on set, and let us know what you think in the comments!

If you didn’t know it already, Ryan Reynolds is not a guy you can mess with online
Recently he posted a series of pictures of himself as Deadpool with children from the Make-A-Wish foundation
He was very glad to have fans come to visit and clearly, the kids enjoyed it as well
Of course, the internet is full of negative people and Reynolds received this comment
Soon after, though, he delivered an amazing response
Way to go, Reynolds!
Here’s what people thought about the whole ordeal

Visiting the set of an R rated movie and seeing a finished R rated movie can be vastly different things. I might not let my kid see the movie but I likely wouldn't have an issue of them visiting the set. I doubt he's inviting kids to the sets on the days they are filming sex scenes, for example.

This is a nice story about Deadpool in real life but the punchline is not so spectacular as the headline proposes...

I can see why parents are so concerned, but Ryan makes a good point. The kids from a make-a-wish foundation probably already had their parents approve, so really it's no big deal. Deadpool is probably one of the most light-hearted R-movies you can find out there anyway.

Exactly. One major killing scene and one (admittedly, long) sex scene. That's it.

Damn, burn, Ryan Reynolds doesn't even give two cents, he gives one one-hundredth of that. and isn't it up to the parents whether children under 17 see an R-rated film? It seems they had their parents permission to visit the set, so I don't know what everyone's griping about.

You got a X-rated president we have to endure every damn day which is enough to interrupt any treatment and these people are worried about a R rating?! Please!!!!!

I think these guys did a wonderful thing! If their parents didn't want them to see the movie, they would have kept them home. Ryan, you take the cake! Thank you for what you did for those kids. Makes you top of the line to me.

It might be rated R in some places, but in BC (where the films were shot) it was rated "14A" (anyone 14 and up can watch, anyone under 14 needs to be accompanied by an adult). https://www.consumerprotectionbc.ca/motion-picture-ratings/classification-details/?cpbc_id=403099

i so totally agree! If the wee guys are going through cancer treatment, they are dealing with far worse things every day than this R-rated stuff, and tobe fair and honest, a good laugh, and good story has never killed anyone, but rather the opposite, putting the fighting spirits up, seeing the "funny" side of it (yes, if you are ill or in the middle of this kind of c**p, you do get a bit of a special kind of black morbid humor) The guys complaining about something being R-rated or whatever, should just go mind their own business... Their opinions are not welcome, or needed..
