In a surprising yet delightful revelation, Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that he is a massive fan of the Australian children’s show Bluey. The beloved animated series, which follows the adventures of a Blue Heeler dog and her family, has captivated audiences around the world—and it turns out that the Deadpool and Wolverine actor is one of its biggest admirers.
During a recent interview on the Australian morning show Sunrise, Reynolds enthusiastically shared his love for Bluey, confessing that he was introduced to the show not by his children, but by fellow actor John Krasinski. “Bluey’s great,” Reynolds said, beaming. “I actually learned about Bluey from John… I watch it. My kids don’t even. It’s me that watches it.”
The star’s humor, as always, was on full display when he added, “My kids will only watch World War II documentaries.” It’s a classic Reynolds quip, highlighting his unique sense of humor while also drawing a playful contrast between his personal TV preferences and those of his children.
Bluey has quickly become one of the most talked-about shows of the moment, and its appeal clearly transcends generations. The show, which recently aired its longest-ever episode titled “The Sign,” attracted a staggering 10 million viewers globally in its first week. Fans were also treated to an unexpected bonus episode called “Surprise,” further cementing Bluey‘s status as a cultural phenomenon.
Reynolds’ confession adds another layer to the show’s universal charm. While Bluey may be intended for younger audiences, it’s clear that its heartfelt storytelling and relatable themes resonate with viewers of all ages—including Hollywood’s elite.
As the show continues to gain popularity, it’s heartwarming to see that even celebrities like Ryan Reynolds aren’t immune to the charms of a well-crafted, family-friendly series. So, next time you’re watching Bluey, remember that you might just be sharing the experience with one of your favorite movie stars.
With Bluey’s global reach and growing fanbase, it’s safe to say that Ryan Reynolds won’t be the only one singing its praises. And who knows? Perhaps one day, we’ll see Reynolds himself making a cameo in one of the episodes, bringing his signature wit and humor to the world of Bluey. After all, in the world of entertainment, anything is possible!
