Ryan Reynolds makes surprise appearance on 'The View' with his mom — in the audience
View Date:2024-12-23 14:45:51
Ryan Reynolds just paid a surprise visit to "The View" — but not as a guest.
About halfway through Monday's episode of the daytime talk show, the "Deadpool" star, 47, was revealed to be sitting in the studio audience the entire time watching the show with his mom.
"You never know what's going on here at 'The View,'" co-host Whoopi Goldberg said. "Sometimes you look up, and you're like, 'Oh, this is really great.' And then you look over and you go, 'Oh, snap, there's Ryan Reynolds.'"
After Goldberg asked Reynolds why he was there, the "IF" actor explained his mother was in town visiting her grandchildren and told him it was her "dream" to attend a taping of "The View."
"I said, 'Let's go to 'The View,'" Reynolds said. "So we made a call. I told them, 'I'm Blake's husband. I'd love to come to "The View." Does that get us a little farther?' And here we are."

Reynolds and his mom could be seen in the studio audience at the start of the episode, although their presence was not explicitly pointed out until later on.

But Reynolds never joined the panel for a discussion like a celebrity guest normally would and simply viewed the taping alongside everyone else. "This is way less stressful than up there," he joked, also quipping that his mom "might have thought she was going to be on 'The View,' maybe."
Reynolds' mom, who lives in Vancouver, told the hosts that she watches the show "every day" and was recording the current episode at home.

Comedian Jo Koy was subsequently a guest on "The View," and he jokingly acted like he was starstruck to see Reynolds' mom in the audience. "I know her!" he said. "Vancouver! She came to my show."
Later, Koy excitedly proclaimed during his interview, "Ryan Reynolds is here! I mean, how cool is that to know your mom made you. Alright? So just remember that. ... I love everything you do, man."
At the end of the episode, Reynolds' mom was brought out to sit in Goldberg's seat and close the show.
Reynolds, who will be seen next month in Marvel's "Deadpool & Wolverine," shares four children with his wife, Blake Lively. While he was there, the hosts of "The View" managed to get his help with booking a future episode, potentially tied to Lively's upcoming film "It Ends with Us."
"Tell Blake to come on," Alyssa Farah Griffin told Reynolds.
"Done," he said. "Great."
