He welcomed his third child with wife Blake Lively in 2019.
But Ryan Reynolds has just rediscovered an old letter to a fan he joked that he forgot to send, claiming that his second child would be his last.
The 44-year-old actor shared the hilarious letter on his Instagram account on Saturday, along with the original letter from a fan he was responding to.

Ryan posted the correspondence the day after celebrating the five-year anniversary of his hit superhero movie Deadpool.
“Five years later, I’m still amazed by Deadpool fans,” wrote the post’s caption. ‘Hunter wrote me this letter after Deadpool was published and somehow my reply was never sent. Wait. Mostly.’
On the original note, a fan named Hunter praised Ryan for his ‘”laugh my a **” off film’ Deadpool.
He expressed hopes for a sequel that was not a ‘second low quality film, as most sequences are.’
He concluded by asking how to be ‘more drunk **’ like Ryan and explained that he was writing for an English job in which he would have to write a letter to someone he admired.

Joking: Ryan started his letter, which looked suspiciously sharp, on a rather serious note, but it soon became obvious that he had recently written it full of monumentally bad predictions, including that the father of three would stop having children after number two

Oops: His ploy didn’t work long after he joked, ‘Can you imagine if DP was with Disney’s MCU?’; still from Deadpool (2016)
Ryan wrote that he appreciated how well received Deadpool was.
But his stratagem didn’t hold up long after he joked: ‘Can you imagine if DP was with Disney’s MCU?’
Later, Disney would merge with Fox, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed that the superhero was officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in January.
Initially, fans were concerned that Disney, owner of Marvel Studios, would refuse to release a superhero movie rated for minors, but the company appears to be moving forward and even integrating Deadpool with its other superhero properties.
Ryan also joked about the ongoing pandemic, adding, ‘It’s a privilege to wear a mask!’
The Aviation Gin actor and pitchman continued the parody letter, suggesting to be a ‘bada **’ by committing to something, like acting, and ‘not messing with random commercial ventures like other celebrities’.

His only small investments were in the ‘Festival “Fyre” and in the fraudulent blood test company Theranos.
He also joked that he was like the current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots: ‘together forever’.
In his final paragraph, the hilarious gin spokesman added that beer was “the only alcoholic drink for me”.
He said Deadpool 3, which has no release date, would be released in 2020, and that he couldn’t wait to ‘spend some time with close and personal fans’.
‘Handshakes and hugs are always better than letters or even touches. LOL. Until then, let’s stay connected on Vine! ‘he joked about the defunct social media platform.
He closed his letter with the old-fashioned saying: ‘Stay on the air!’
