If you have ever doubted the unflinching charm of Ryan Reynolds [1] (and if you have, who are you and get out of here), Helen Mirren [2] is here to put your mind at ease. Time magazine revealed its list of the 100 Most Influential People of 2017 [3] on Thursday, and the Deadpool 2 [4] actor holds a very well-deserved spot. To celebrate all of his recent accomplishments, his Woman in Gold costar Helen Mirren [5] wrote an essay [6] that details Ryan's real-life loveliness. "Can the name be real? It is such a perfect movie-star name, like something that could be on a '40s marquee," she wrote. "How fitting, then, that Ryan Reynolds [7] has the same loose-limbed charm as Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. He's the Everyman, but somehow with more of everything: wit, elegance, looks and general hunkiness [8]."
She went on to call the actor "committed and generous, especially to women," saying, "He likes them in the most simple, direct, unadorned way: for their humanity. (How very appropriate that he is the father of two girls [10].) P.S. The name is real, like everything else about Ryan." We'd have to agree, Helen.
