Ryan Reynolds, the king of sarcasm and Deadpool quips, has RSVP’d no thanks to the 2025 Golden Globes. Yes, despite being nominated for his smash-hit movie Deadpool & Wolverine (basically, Marvel’s odd couple on steroids), Ryan is skipping the big night. Why? Well, grab your popcorn, because this tea is lukewarm at best.
The Great No-Show Trio: Ryan, Hugh, and Blake
Deadline reports that not only is Ryan ghosting the event, but his Deadpool co-star Hugh Jackman is also opting out. And if you thought maybe Ryan’s better half, Blake Lively, would swoop in to dazzle the crowd with her effortless glam, think again—she’s sitting this one out too. Fun fact: Blake has a cameo in the movie, which means she could’ve strolled in like, “Yes, I’m a cameo and a cultural reset.”
The movie itself is nominated for the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award, which sounds fancy but basically translates to, “We made a ton of money, and you liked it.” Ryan, being a producer, could technically waltz home with a shiny trophy. But alas, the Globes will have to carry on without his charming smirk and expertly tailored tux.
Why the Snub? Drama, Not So Much
So, what gives? Did Ryan suddenly develop an allergy to award shows? Are Hugh and Blake too busy debating if Wolverine can beat Deadpool in a dance-off? Turns out, the trio decided ages ago to skip the event. According to sources, their decision has nothing to do with the swirling legal drama around Blake’s other movie, It Ends With Us. Because apparently, skipping the Globes is just their vibe now.
Let’s face it—when you’re Ryan Reynolds, you don’t need a room full of Hollywood big shots to validate your existence. You’ve got Aviation Gin, a soccer team, and Twitter fingers sharp enough to cut diamonds.
Host Nikki Glaser’s No-Joke Zone
Meanwhile, Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser has declared a hard pass on making jokes about the It Ends With Us drama. She told Yahoo that even mentioning the controversy might make her look like she’s picking sides. “I’m mad I even know his name,” Nikki said of one of the scandal’s key figures. Same, Nikki. Same. Let’s all collectively move on.
The Bottom Line
Ryan Reynolds skipping the Golden Globes feels like when your friend cancels plans, and you’re not even mad because they probably had a really good reason—or they just wanted to stay home in sweatpants. Either way, the Globes will survive, but they’ll definitely be a little less snarky without Ryan in the room.
