'Deadpool' Actor TJ Miller Claims 'Insecure' Ryan Reynolds Belittled Him On Set
Actor T.J. Miller no longer has a relationship with Ryan Reynolds following an uncomfortable scene on the set of a "Deadpool" movie.
During an appearance on "The Adam Carolla Show," Miller, 41, revealed he would never work with Reynolds again.
Miller, who played bartender Weasel in the first two "Deadpool" films, recalled an incident on set in which Reynolds, 41, asked to do another take in an attempt to belittle him in front of cast and crew members.
"As the character, he was like horrifically mean to me. But to me. As if I'm Weasel," Miller told Carolla.
"He was like, 'You know what's great about you, Weasel? You're not the star, but you do just enough exposition that it's funny, and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.'"
Miller, who described Reynolds as an "insecure dude," admitted he and crew members were left feeling uncomfortable following Reynold's comment.
"I just kind of listened and thought it was weird, and then I got off stage because they were like, 'Cut...?,'" he explained.
When Carolla noted that Miller received praise for his comedic timing in "Deadpool" even though he wasn't the star, Miller acknowledged that Reynolds' comment could have been a personal jab rather.
"That's exactly why he said that," Miller said. "Because I'm not funnier than he is at all, right? And I haven't been in more movies than him."
While Miller said he believed a third film could ruin a movie franchise, he revealed Reynold's behavior also played a role in why he wouldn't be interested in returning the "Deadpool 3."
"Would I work with him again? No. I would not work with him again," Miller said. "I sorta wish him well because he's so good at Deadpool, and I think it's weird that he hates me."
However, Miller revealed that his feelings may not be permanent, recalling that he said the same thing about director Michael Bay but has since changed his mind.
Miller went on to suggest Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, curated good public images compared to how they may act in private.
"I don't wish them any ill will. I think [Reynolds] should make a 'Deadpool 3' and continue to make movies. I just think he doesn't like me, and I thought it was weird how he expressed that."
Despite the "weird" moment on set, Miller thinks Reynolds is a good comedian but changed once he became "super, super famous from the first Deadpool" movie.
"Deadpool 3" is slated for a Sept. 6, 2024, release date.
