Ryan Reynolds Takes Selfie with Brother After Running Into Him ‘Out of Nowhere’ in New York City

Ryan Reynolds and his brother Terry had an unplanned meeting.

On Tuesday, Ryan, 47, and Terry Reynolds shared posts on Instagram explaining how they randomly ran into each other on a street in New York. According to both brothers’ posts, they were going about their days when they spotted each other — while both wearing baseball caps representing the Welsh professional soccer club that Ryan co-owns, Wrexham FC!

“Not sure what the chances are of running into your own brother while doing different things in NY that day. 8.5 million people and we practically collided,” Terry wrote in an Instagram post showing a selfie of the brothers.

Ryan, the youngest of four brothers in his family, shared a similar surprise when he wrote about his encounter with Terry on his Instagram Story.

“8.5 million people in NYC. I ran into my brother out of nowhere,” he wrote in his post.

“You kind of nurture all these other aspects, the survival aspects, that you wouldn’t normally nurture, you know, being the oldest,” he shared at the time, while talking about his Marvel superhero role as Deadpool. “It’s something that always and I think that’s why I connected with the character 11 years ago. As a child, I was the youngest of four boys. They didn’t consider me a younger brother, they considered me a moving target.”

“The way I stayed alive was with my mouth because I wasn’t going to win with my fists,” he said at the time. “I felt like I was practicing for Dead pool from the very beginning.”
