-Ryan Reynolds,
it's great to see you, pal.
You look good.
-Nice to see you, my friend.
-Are those earbuds, or is there
blood coming out of your ears?
-No, no, these are earbuds.
These were a gift I got
on the movie I was doing,
which was shut down
halfway through.
-Is this the one with The Rock?
-Yes, it is, yeah.
-I'm sorry about that.
What was that called?
-It's called "Red Notice."
"Red Notice."
And, yeah, we made it about --
I'd say like one or two days
past the halfway point mark.
It was really close to --
Yeah, we were just over
the halfway point mark.
We probably would've made it,
I'm guessing --
We might've finished the movie
if we didn't spend 90% of our
time dicking around, laughing.
-[ Laughing ]
-I've known Dwayne
for like 15 years,
so we tend to spend time trying
to make each other laugh.
Which is a really irresponsible
thing to do
with Netflix, their money.
But you know...
It makes for a good movie
in the end
once you get take 28 down
and in the can.
You're set, right?
-I can't come back --
-Once I'm going,
I can't come back.
I start laughing, and there's
no -- I don't return.
I have to take an hour off.
-Yeah, ditto.
And then it's like
a compound problem, right?
Now the pressure's on
to not laugh.
-It's a workout.
-Yeah, usually,
I seriously hurt myself.
Like, I'll punch my --
Charley-horse myself
as hard as I possibly can.
Maybe like a tiny stab wound
in a non-vital organ area,
just to try to keep it together.
-What does he laugh at?
What makes him break?
-Well, yeah, he's --
I think one of the reasons
I've been friends with him
for a long time is that
he really laughs at himself,
which is one of the things
I love about him.
So if you kind of parrot back
his thing
that he's doing in the movie --
Like, if his line is like,
"I'm special agent John Harvey
of the FBI,"
and if you parrot it back,
just 27% faster
with a swear word, like,
"I'm special agent John Harvey
of the FBI, mother [bleep],"
he just, like -- he's gone.
He leaves the room,
and he never comes back.
And it's great.
You know, and it's a fun movie.
He plays a totally
normal-sized FBI agent.
And I play a con artist
who happens to be bathed
in expert lighting.
And then there's Gal Gadot
who plays a --
sort of a mystery figure
in the movie
that I don't want to give away,
and she's amazing, as well.
And that was sort of it.
I was sold. That was it, yeah.
-And that's "Red Notice."
Do we know when --
I guess as soon as
quarantine's over, you'll...
When it's safe.
-I'm assuming, yeah.
I think we're gonna be
right back into it, yeah.
-Where are you in quarantine?
Who are you quarantined with?
-I'm quarantined with my family,
with Blake
and our three daughters
and my mother-in-law, as well.
You know, I know, it's the best.
It's one of those things where
it's a split-second decision.
Right?
You're thinking like,
"Oh, yeah, we've all got
to quarantine together."
But you're thinking, "Oh, this
is gonna be a few days."
So you gotta be careful.
At least I like the people
I'm quarantined --
I love them --
that I'm quarantining with.
It was a toss-up
for a minute there.
Should I quarantine
with my publicly facing family
or my secret family in Denmark?
It was a real toss-up.
-[ Laughs ]
-Oh, of course.
That must've been hard on you.
-I miss Luna, Lekhet,
and Uhn very much so.
-I love Uhn.
Give my best to Uhn.
-Una is so sweet, yeah.
-Of course.
-So you went with
the Hollywood family.
-Yeah, went with
the Hollywood family.
And it's been great.
It's a decision
I don't regret at all.
It's been fun.
Yeah, we've been --
-Are the kids appreciating it?
I know you and Blake,
I've seen you guys, obviously,
a bunch of times, but you guys
are perfect together.
But are the kids happy to
have you around all the time?
-Frankly, I think it sets
a dangerous precedent, Jimmy.
You know, I think when we look
back at this thing
years from now,
they're gonna think about me
and how I used to be
a present dad.
And I worry about that.
I worry about the --
"Remember when dad was just home
all the time
and always up in our grille?"
-"We loved it so much."
-It's actually been amazing.
Because, you know, I don't --
I'm trying to let myself
appreciate it
as much as possible,
because at the same time,
you're thinking, like,
there's so many people
in the world that are --
this is not a good thing,
that this is causing
free-floating anxiety
for a lot of people
and different things.
So I'm trying to let myself
appreciate the actual face time
with the family and spending
as much time as possible.
And it really does
vacillate between deep,
beautiful connection,
and then, suddenly,
it's the third act of "Aliens."
Suddenly I'm having a totally
normal conversation
with a 3-year-old, then she's
spitting acid in my face,
and I'm running for my life
in the belly of the ship
and wearing nothing but
a tank tops, sweaty as hell.
-That's a Tuesday night for you.
-Yeah. I kind of, you know --
This is what --
I don't know, we're on,
like -- I don't know --
year five of quarantining?
I'm not sure where we are,
but it changes on a dime, right?
-Oh, yeah.
-Like, "What do you want
for dinner, sweet, sweet angel?"
And she's like,
"I want Cheerios!"
You're just like...
Total the beast.
She's the beast.
They all are, really.
-It's Teacher Appreciation Week,
and I know it means a lot to you
'cause your brother
is actually a teacher.
Not only
do you appreciate teachers,
but your brother is a teacher.
-My brother Patrick, yeah.
He teaches at
Coyote Creek Elementary School
up in British Columbia, Canada.
He teaches third
and fourth graders.
He's an awesome guy.
He's also an artist,
so he brings something special
and magical to those kids
each and every day,
and I'm really proud of him.
And I have another brother
who's a first responder,
who works for the RCMP.
He's a Royal Canadian
Mounted Policeman, Terry.
-Oh, my goodness.
-Yeah, so, you know --
I have another brother, as well,
who's kind of a
jack of all trades.
They all sort of do really
good stuff for the community.
You know, it starts to get
pretty embarrassing
calling him a dick at dinner.
-[ Laughs ]
-They're such good people.
-They're such good people, yeah.
