It’s not easy to be Wade Wilson, and Ryan Reynolds has truly aced it in the latest Marvel hit ‘Deadpool and Wolverine‘. Being the loudmouth superhero saving his world while cracking hilarious jokes and using variants of himself as a shield, the responsibilities come with a few cons as well — as Reynolds revealed during a recent interview.
The actor, who uses prosthetics in the film to portray Wade Wilson, opened up about one golden rule he was supposed to follow when it came to his prosthetics. However, he asserted that his children, who also appeared in the film, made it close to impossible. Here’s what’s the actor.

The actor wrote, “One thing special effects makeup artists will tell you, is to remove silicone appliances from your face slowly, with an array of oil-based products to avoid irritation or injury.”
“NEVER rip it off quickly or have your children tear your face apart with their sticky little child fingers like it’s a Christmas present – if Christmas was about wondering how someone looks without eyelids,” he added in the post.

Why Did Ryan Reynolds Use Prosthetics To Play Wade Wilson?
Ryan Reynolds’ character Wade Wilson goes through experimental cancer treatment to treat his terminal cancer in the film’s narrative. The treatment leaves him with a scarred face, as a result of a serum that accelerates healing factors and ends up disfiguring his face.
The face also serves as a metaphor for his psychological trauma and the transformation from a normal person to a superhero.
Deadpool’s look was inspired by Sin City, but the filmmakers didn’t want him to be compared to the infamous villain Freddy Krueger. Applying the final makeup took several hours, requiring nine silicone prosthetics to cover Reynolds’s skull.
