TJ Miller made headlines recently when he declared that he would never want to work with Ryan Reynolds again.
TJ and Ryan co-starred in the Deadpool movies together. TS shared that Ryan was “horrifically mean” to him, and accused Ryan of speaking to him in character, to his character, allegedly telling him:
“He was like, ‘You know what’s great about you, Weasel? You’re not the star, but you do just enough exposition that it’s funny and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.”
After what happened, TJ said, he just never wanted to work with Ryan anymore.
Now, merely days after TJ’s story went viral, a big update has come out. Apparently, Ryan reached out to TJ over this whole situation.
Durin his appearance on SiriusXM’s Jim Norton & Sam Roberts, TJ was asked if Ryan had made an effort to contact him since his comments went viral. TJ replied:
“Yeah, he has. It was, it was really cool. He emailed me the next day and kind of said…it was a misunderstanding. So I emailed him back and now it’s like, fine.
What’s ridiculous is it was just me telling a story from on set that I thought was weird. That was it. But I just wasn’t thinking about how the media will immediately… So, and that’s a big problem I have in general is kind of not thinking about what the repercussions of saying this or that would be, but I think, yeah, it was very cool for him to say, ‘Hey, you know, I just heard on the show that you were upset about this.’ And I kind of said, ‘You know, I’m not,’ and then we sort of just hashed it out really quickly.”
TJ went on to clarify that he was never saying anything negative about Ryan:
“But he was, again, I wasn’t saying anything negative… He is so funny, which I always maintained, and he’s so amazing in those movies. And I, you know, so that was kind of it, you know?…But yeah, he was really cool about it and… he’s a good dude.
I told the story because it was weird and funny to me, and then it gets picked up…. I feel bad that it was picked up and it was misconstrued for sure. But no, it was the next day he and I talked and it’s fine.”
