When Ryan Reynolds Revealed He Was Addicted To Game Of Thrones: “It’s No Secret”

Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool, but he is a Game of Thrones superfan in his heart. He is obsessed—straight-up addicted to the show. “It’s no secret, I’m a Game of Thrones nut. I’m an addict. There’s nothing I won’t do to get my next fix,” he told The Irish Sun. Yeah, he’s that deep into the Thrones universe, ready to do whatever it takes to dive right into Westeros.

But here’s the kicker—Reynolds didn’t just want to be a viewer. Oh no, he wanted to be a part of the action. “Would I want a part? On one hand, I’m a fan, so I like my outside perspective into that world, but on the other, yeah, how ridiculously insane would that be?” he said. So, who did he think could play in the Thrones sandbox? How about replacing Liam Cunningham as Ser Davos or Aidan Gillen as Littlefinger? Just a casual step-in for those Irish legends, right?

Ryan Reynolds didn’t stop there, though. He even joked about being a “long-lost Lannister.” Can you imagine him sliding into some political drama with Tyrion? I mean, Deadpool in Westeros? That’d be a wild crossover episode. But it wasn’t just the casting that had him hooked. Reynolds was all about the storylines. He was shocked after Arya Stark killed the Night King. “I just went, ‘Whoa!’” he said, calling that moment one of the best TV scenes ever.
