10 things to love about Ryan Reynolds

Back to story
HE'S A PROUD CANADIAN: Ryan returned home this month to unveil his star on Canada’s Walk of Fame. Receiving the honour on home soil not only meant the world to Ryan, but also to his mother, Tammy, who accompanied her son on the red carpet. “When I first heard about [the star] I called my mom. This is as big an honour for her as it is for me,” he tells 'Hello!.' (Photo: Getty Images)
HE'S HUMBLE: Even though he’s adored by millions of fans and has more than 60 credits to his name, Ryan is quick to point out that he doesn’t take anything for granted, telling 'Details' magazine, “I know my station in life. It's not like I've got the chips stacked against me. I'm in a very lucky and fortunate place.” (Photo: Getty Images)
HE'S A FAMILY MAN: Ryan and his wife, Blake Lively (they wed on Sept. 9, 2012), are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Baby Reynolds. It will be the first of many children, says Ryan. “Blake and I want to have a big family, and that would mean a big change in my priorities," he said. "I would want to take a lot of time off to raise my children.” (Photo: Getty Images)
HE MAKES US LAUGH: Who can forget his hilarious performance in 'Just Friends' opposite Amy Smart, and his breakout role in 2002’s 'National Lampoon’s Van Wilder'? (Photo: Getty Images)

HE LOVES HIS FRIENDS: The chemistry between Ryan and Sandra Bullock in the 2009 romantic comedy 'The Proposal' wasn’t forced. The two actors have been friends for years, and working together on screen was a treat according to Sandra, who once said that,“Ryan and I can be doing a scene facing the camera and somehow our back and forth and our rhythm, we know when to stop and when to volley, when to make the sound. It's like music.” (Photo: Getty Images)
HE GIVES BACK: The dedicated philanthropist ran the 2008 New York City Marathon as a member of the Michael J. Fox Foundation team in honour of his father, Jim, who has suffered from Parkinson's disease for the past 20 years. (Photo: Getty Images)
HE HAS GREAT STYLE: Just like his wife, Ryan is always dressed to impress whether he is on the red carpet or strolling through his neighbourhood in Bedford, N.Y. He is also the face of Hugo Boss Fragrances and L'Oréal Paris's Men Expert. (Photo: Getty Images)
HE'S ADVENTUROUS: “There’s an incredible sense of freedom in being out on the open road,” Ryan has said about his passion for motorcycles. He also does all his own movie stunts! (Photo: Getty Images)
HE'S EASY ON THE EYES: Ryan graced the cover of Hello! Canada’s 50 Most Beautiful Canadians issue earlier this year, but when it comes to his good looks, Ryan doesn’t see what all the fuss is about, "I just think of myself as that cross-eyed Canadian. I’ve got to admit this good-looking thing got a bit out of hand after I made 'The Notebook,'” he jokes, deflecting the compliment onto his pal and fellow Canadian heartthrob Ryan Gosling.
