00:00 Ryan Reynolds reveals the celebrity who is inspiring the life lessons he teaches his kids.
00:05 The Deadpool star pens a tribute to Michael J. Fox in Time magazine's new 100 Most Influential People issue.
00:13 Ryan honors the acting legend by writing about his recent experience with his and Blake Lively's daughter, James.
00:20 Writing, "Last year I watched Back to the Future with my 8-year-old daughter. It's become her favorite film."
00:26 He continues, "And for now, that's enough for me and for her."
00:29 "One more kid from one more generation sees what I saw."
00:33 Ryan says, "I know how lucky I am to call Mike a friend. She still has no idea I know him."
00:39 "I don't need to teach my daughter the level of compassion Mike has mastered or teach her to tell stories the way Mike tells stories."
00:45 Adding, "I need to teach her that it's okay to fall a lot. It's the absolute best way to know you're flying."
00:52 Blake and Ryan share James, now 9, Inez, who is 7, 4-year-old buddy, plus another child whom they welcomed last year whose name and sex have not yet been revealed.
01:02 In addition to Michael J. Fox, Ryan has been open about another celebrity who has some major influence in his and Blake's home, Miss Taylor Swift, of course.
01:11 In addition to being friends with Blake and Ryan, Taylor's music is something that the family bonds over.
01:17 As the Deadpool star explained in a 2020 interview on Sirius XM Radio shortly after the release of the artist's last album, Midnightz.
01:26 "Did your kids get really excited about the new Taylor Swift album? Did they just stay up all night like everybody else?"
01:33 "It's like a religion in our house. They were extremely excited. In fact, I'm not making this up.
01:40 We are having a Taylor Swift Midnightz dance party right after this. It's Sunday.
01:47 We're headed straight to the porch where we're doing a full dance number set to Midnightz."
01:54 That means we know what the lively Reynolds household will be up to on April 19th, aka Taylor Swift Release Day.
