Ryan Reynolds: I am trying to create a little bit more space for my family

Ryan Reynolds with wife Blake Lively

Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds recently revealed why he decided to take a sabbatical from moviemaking after wrapping up his upcoming Apple TV+ movie Spirited.

The actor wants to use the break from movies to spend some time with his family. "I am trying to create a little bit more space for my family [wife Blake Lively and their three daughters] and time with them," said Reynolds. "You know, you don't really get that time back," he added.

The Free Guy actor took to his Instagram on October 16 to share that the shoot of Spirited had wrapped up. "Not sure I'd have been ready to say yes to a film this challenging even three years ago. Singing, dancing and playing in the sandbox with Will Ferrell made a whole lotta dreams come true. I am gonna miss every second working with this obscenely gifted group of creators and artistes," he wrote.

Just because he won't be making any movies, doesn't mean he won't be working on one of the many other notches under his belt. "I am busy, obviously, with other things at my company," he said. Aside from acting, Reynolds has stakes in Aviation Gin, Mint Mobile, Maximum Effort Marketing and Wrexham AFC. "Showing up, picking up the phone and having skin in the game is so important. Our philosophy is to bring people together in fun, smart, unexpected ways," Reynolds said of his many business ventures.

"So, I'll probably be away from film, or at least shooting films, till the end of the summer. It provides me an opportunity to be home," he added.
