So you know Ryan Reynolds, right? The guy who plays Deadpool, sells gin, owns a football club, and tweets like your favourite uncle who just discovered memes. But here's the thing — his wife is also a whole Hollywood heavyweight. Yes, we're talking about Blake Lively. Former Gossip Girl queen, red carpet slayer, and the only human alive who can roast Ryan harder than the entire internet combined. So let's walk through her movies, shall we? Warning: this list is extremely scientific and not at all biased.
Now, Green Lantern is not a great movie. Everybody knows this, including Ryan, who has roasted it publicly more times than we've eaten chicken rice. But here's the plot twist — it gave us the Reynolds-Lively power couple. So technically, that CGI mess was a matchmaking service with a nine-figure budget. Alamak, what a return on investment. Blake played Carol Ferris, Ryan played a guy in a glowing green bodysuit, and the rest is basically Hollywood royalty history. Worth watching? Eh, only if you want to see where the magic started, lah.
Okay, technically it's a TV show, but Serena van der Woodsen walked so every Blake Lively movie role could run. Six seasons of headbands, Upper East Side drama, and "I have to go" exits that made zero sense. If you never watched it, you're either lying or you grew up under a very large rock. No judgement hor, but go fix that.
In The Town, she plays a bank manager caught up in Ben Affleck's heist nonsense — and she holds her own against a very serious Boston accent. Then in The Shallows, she fights a giant shark for 90 minutes with basically one leg and a seagull as her best friend. One woman, one rock, one shark. That's it. That's the movie. And somehow it's tense enough to make you stop eating your kaya toast. Respect.
Blake plays Emily, a mysterious PR director who disappears and leaves behind chaos, martinis, and a wardrobe worth more than your flat. Anna Kendrick is the frazzled mum trying to figure things out. The twist? Insane. The suits? Immaculate. You finish the movie and immediately want to text your best friend, "eh, would you do this to me?" Confirm plus chop, the answer is yes.
One makes you cry about immortality, the other makes you cry about, well, everything. Blake does emotional damage very well, which is rude but also very impressive. So there you go — Ryan Reynolds' wife has range, sass, and a filmography that stands on its own. Go watch one this weekend. Shiok.
