Ryan Reynolds's Sexiest Movie Roles

Oct 22 2016 - 10:35am

Ryan Reynolds [1] turns 40 this week, and the father of two [2] has a lot to celebrate! We're toasting the life of the actor by celebrating his hottest onscreen roles. He's played a sexy party boy, a sexy vampire hunter, a sexy dad . . . I think you get the point. But as we learned in school, it's better to show rather than tell, so keep reading to see Reynolds's sexiest movie roles and why he was so appealing in them.

Van Wilder in Van Wilder

Van's raunchy, party-throwing antics might seem a bit immature in hindsight, but let's face it: most of us would have swooned over him in college. He's the big man on campus with a wicked sense of humor and a good heart — both irresistible qualities.

Hannibal in Blade: Trinity

Sure, vampires can be sexy, but know what's even hotter? A vampire hunter. More specifically, a vampire hunter with an eight-pack.

Will in Definitely, Maybe

Reynolds gets plenty of opportunities to play the hot ladies' man, but doting dad? Not so much. That's why my heart melts every time I watch him play daddy duty to Abigail Breslin [4].

Andrew in The Proposal

Reynolds takes a backseat to Sandra Bullock [5]'s type-A character in this hot romantic comedy, but his toned down sarcasm only makes him more adorable. Plus, anyone who saw the movie knows the sexy proof is in the pudding: there's a nude scene!

Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Reynolds's hotness made such an indelible impression, Deadpool eventually got its own standalone film.

Hal Jordan in Green Lantern

The movie may not have been a huge success, but Reynolds still looked amazing in his superhero outing. Plus, he gets extra sexy points for being a pilot, a very hot occupation.

Matt Weston in Safe House

Something about Reynolds playing a CIA agent just really turns us on.

Nick in R.I.P.D.

Reynolds's charm is almost as out of this world as the movie's plot.

Young Damian in Self/less

Is it just us, or does Reynolds look super hot when he's completely bewildered?

Deadpool in Deadpool

He may play a complete psycho, but the role does come with some perks. One word: spandex.

Bill Pope in Criminal

Even though he has a small role, who can deny themselves of Reynolds's sexy scruff?

George Lutz in The Amityville Horror

Reynolds was arguably at peak hotness during this 2005 remake. SO many shirtless [7] scenes.
