7 Famous People Who Seem to Dislike Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds is one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars, known for his quick wit, self-deprecating humor, and effortlessly charming personality both on and off screen. Over the years, he has built a reputation as an approachable A-lister who rarely takes himself too seriously. However, not everyone in the entertainment world seems to share the same warm feelings toward him.

From playful rivalries and sarcastic jabs to more serious on-set tensions and pointed public remarks, several famous figures have had moments of conflict, criticism, or awkwardness with the Deadpool actor that captured public attention. While some of these situations were clearly tongue-in-cheek, others sparked headlines and fueled speculation about behind-the-scenes friction.

1. Wesley Snipes

On the set of Blade: Trinity (2004), Wesley Snipes reportedly clashed with co-star Ryan Reynolds.

Snipes allegedly refused to engage with cast and crew, communicated through notes, and had tensions with multiple people on that production — including friction with Reynolds’s more playful acting style.

Reynolds later joked in interviews that his character’s quips in the film were inspired by real life interactions with Snipes, implying Snipes did not warm to his humor.

These on-set issues created a perception of dislike between them at the time.

However, years later, Snipes appeared to enjoy working with Reynolds again when they reunited for Deadpool & Wolverine.

Still, the original Blade experience is often cited as the origin of their awkward relationship.

2. Chris Columbus

Director Chris Columbus reportedly criticized a proposed Home Alone reboot starring Ryan Reynolds, describing it as “an insult to the art of cinema” — suggesting Columbus saw Reynolds’ take as disrespectful to the original classic.

This comment reflected Columbus’s disapproval of the concept rather than a personal feud with Reynolds.

There’s no indication Columbus has an ongoing public feud with Reynolds, but his blunt critique showed disdain for a project associated with him.

Many directors publicly dislike reinterpretations of beloved films.

Still, Columbus’s remarks seem rooted in professional artistic disagreement rather than personal animosity.

3. Gerard Butler

Gerard Butler once admitted he doesn’t watch Ryan Reynolds’s movies — famously saying he didn’t know what Free Guy was when asked about similarities to his own film Gamer.

His statement came off as dismissive or indifferent toward Reynolds’s work rather than outright hatred, and Reynolds responded with humor on social media.

There’s no evidence of a deeper feud, just a casual brush-off by Butler that could be interpreted as not being invested in Reynolds’s filmography.

The lack of engagement seems rooted more in taste than personal dislike.

4. Deena Cortese

Reality TV personality Deena Cortese was quoted saying Ryan Reynolds was “not great to us” during a chance encounter, suggesting she felt he was rude when they met at an event.

Cortese explained she and Jersey Shore castmate Sammi Giancola viewed his behavior negatively, though Giancola softened her stance by saying he might have just had a bad day.

This anecdote reflects a personal impression rather than evidence of longstanding dislike between them.

Reynolds has not publicly commented about this interaction that’s widely reported.

5. Martha Stewart

TV personality Martha Stewart has been quoted saying that Ryan Reynolds isn’t actually funny in real life, even if he can act in comedic roles — a comment she made on the game show Rent Free.

Stewart’s remark seemed to be more playful shade than deep dislike, perhaps reflecting a dry take on Reynolds’s public persona.

Reynolds responded with humor on social media, showing there was no serious feud.

Her statement reflects a difference in taste regarding his humor rather than genuine personal hate.

6. Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds are famous for their playful, long-running “feud.” Originally born from jokes during Reynolds’s marriage to Jackman’s friend Scarlett Johansson, they have since turned it into friendly ribbing on social media and in public.

Jackman has teased Reynolds about things like excluding him from scenes or making jokes at his expense, but these interactions are widely understood as good-natured banter rather than actual animosity.

Both have spoken fondly of each other publicly, and their friendship continues.

7. Billy Sharp

Soccer player Billy Sharp has publicly criticized Ryan Reynolds indirectly through his frustration after Wrexham AFC — co-owned by Reynolds — lost an FA Cup match to Sharp’s Sheffield United.

Sharp called out Wrexham’s approach and what he saw as arrogance before the game, which included comments aimed at Reynolds’s confidence.

His displeasure seemed rooted in sports rivalry and competitive frustration rather than personal hatred of Reynolds.
