  • The actor is back in Marvel’s latest film, Deadpool and Wolverine, and there’s a reason he’s known for playing prankster roles – he’s the youngest of four brothers to Tammy and James Chester Reynolds
  • His brother Patrick is a teacher and received a special shoutout on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, while his more private brother Jeff was Ryan’s ‘first friend’

Following a series of action-packed comedy films such as Free Guy and Shotgun Wedding, Ryan Reynolds is back as Deadpool once again in Marvel’s latest film, Deadpool and Wolverine.

Reynolds may be known as the humorous katana-wielding (sometimes gun-wielding) anti-hero, but there’s a reason why his playfulness comes through – he’s the baby of in the family, with three elder brothers.

The Reynolds brothers grew up in Vancouver, Canada with their parents, Tammy Reynolds and James Chester Reynolds, the latter with whom Ryan had been previously estranged. Recently, the brothers travelled with their mother Tammy to support Ryan at the New York City premiere, per People.

Jeff Reynolds is quite the enigmatic brother; his social media accounts are private, but he makes rare appearances in Ryan’s posts, be it throwback pictures or wholesome shots with his family.

In 2017, Ryan shared a photo of him and Jeff when they were kids in an appreciation post, writing that he considered his older brother his “first friend”. The year before, he also said, “Seems like just yesterday you were changing my diapers, even though it was well over a week ago.”
