Ryan Reynolds addressed a popular fan theory by humorously revealing that he is not, in fact, Lady Deadpool himself. He said,

I love listening to the conspiracy theories about who it could be, and my favorite one that traveled quite a bit was they think it was me. I don’t know how I could do that with my hips, I cannot walk like that to save my life. My shoulders are absurdly broad for a suit like that, so no, it is not me.

He also mentioned that he specifically requested not to be informed of the identity they chose for Lady Deadpool. As he stated,

I don’t know. I am going to find out myself. I specifically said not to tell me when we were shooting. I was like, “Pick anyone you want, alright? And don’t tell me.”

Now, Ryan Reynolds could be pulling an Andrew Garfield here, or he might genuinely not know. Either way, he expressed excitement about finding out along with everyone else.
