Ryan Reynolds says having kids made him a better person, but he misses being 'horrible'

Ryan was his usual witty self on Ellen recently.

Most people are partial to a good Ryan Reynolds interview. He usually says something he probably shouldn’t, the best example of which was in 2015 when he appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and told the host,

“I’d use my wife as a human shield to protect our daughter!”

It’s all in good taste however and Ryan’s charming personality has garnered him almost 26 million Instagram followers.

The Proposal actor recently went on Ellen to talk about his new film, Once Upon a Deadpool and the conversation landed on parenthood. Ryan joked that his two young daughters can’t start a day without watching Frozen, and he has had enough of it.

He continued to say how much he enjoys fatherhood and thinks of his children as his two “buddies”. On being a dad, Ryan divulged to the popular host:

“I love it. It’s really kind of made me a better person, I think.”

But added:

“I miss being horrible.”

Ryan and his wife Blake Lively are famously private about their kids, rarely uploading pictures showing them.

Although he adores being a dad, Ryan does admit that it can be hard and joked:

“I think of blinking as like tiny little breaks all day.”

Sound familiar?
