Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are notoriously private when it comes to their family life and their four children, however fans of the Deadpool actor know all too well he often can't resist making jokes about fatherhood.
Though the couple keep their four kids out of the public eye, the father-of-four doesn't shy away from giving insight into their life as a family-of-six, often both relatable and hilarious.
The Wrexham FC owner and his Gossip Girl alum wife married in 2012, and have since welcomed daughters James, eight, Inez, seven, and Betty, four, plus a fourth child whose name or sex has yet to be revealed, born in February.
Over the weekend, Ryan reacted to a new SAG-AFTRA strike update with his usual humor and wit, joking about his daughter James' Halloween plans.
Ahead of Halloween, SAG-AFTRA – which represents roughly 160,000 actors – shared guidelines on how union members should partake in the upcoming spooky holiday while still maintaining their solidarity, and avoid crossing the picket line.
Union members are now barred from dressing up after characters from struck studios and from sharing any photos promoting their content on social media; examples include Barbie, Oppenheimer, characters from The Bear, Austin Butler's Elvis Presley (Jacob Elordi's is presumably fine thanks to an interim agreement), among others.
In response, Ryan joked on X, formerly known as Twitter: "I look forward to screaming 'scab' at my eight year old all night," adding: "She's not in the union but she needs to learn."

His joke got a rise out of fans, who wrote in turn: "Teach them young," and: "We're starting the labor movement young these days!" as well as: "She is ready for the real world," plus another fan wrote: "You're a gem and a loving father," among plenty of laughing emojis.

Literally no one cares what anyone wears for Halloween," adding: "I mean, do you really think this kind of infantile stuff is going to end the strike? We look like a joke. Please tell me you’re going to make this rule go away… and go negotiate!"
She continued: "For the love of God, people are suffering mightily and this is what you have to say… c'mon guys… This is the kind of silly [expletive] that keeps us on strike. 'Let's enact a policy that makes us look petty and incompetent at the same time.'"
