Ryan Reynolds made brutally honest comment about role he hated while at the premiere for the movie

Ryan Reynolds made a brutally honest comment about a role that he played many years ago.

Reynolds fans will know that the actor has so far starred in four Deadpool movies, but he described one of them as 'a very frustrating experience'.

Almost a decade ago, Reynolds, now 47, was at the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie premiere when a reporter asked him about whether he would like to return to the role he played in the film, moving forward.

"Absolutely, the character I've wanted to do forever. This is only a brief introduction," he said.

"I think the idea is to spin off."

And right he was, of course, as there's now been three movies - Deadpool, Deadpool 2 and most recently, Deadpool & Wolverine.

Reynolds also spoke about his character in the Origins movie being played with his mouth sewn shut.

"It's pretty awful when your mouth is sewn up, it makes lunch a sad place," he added to the reporter.

Reynolds later elaborated on his feelings about the movie, explaining that he was essentially forced to do the film, despite issues with the script.

“It was a very frustrating experience,” Reynolds recalled to Entertainment Weekly. “I was already attached to the Deadpool movie. We hadn’t at that point written a script yet.

"[Origins] came along and it was sort of like, ‘Play Deadpool in this movie or we’ll get someone else to.’ And I just said, ‘I’ll do it, but it’s the wrong version. Deadpool isn’t correct in it.'”

Reynolds added that at the time, they were in the middle of a Hollywood writers' strike, which took place between 2007 and 2008.

“So we were in the middle of production, there were no writers, no anything. Every line I have in the movie I just wrote myself because in the script we had, it said, ‘Wade Wilson shows up, talks really fast.’ I was like, ‘What?! What am I supposed to do with that?'” Reynolds added.

The franchise has still been a huge success, with the much-awaited Deadpool & Wolverine hitting cinemas last month.

And it seems Reynolds definitely had fun filming this one.

Reynolds and co-star Hugh Jackman - who have been mates for over 20 years - said they had a lot of fun together on set, while Reynolds admitted that that he felt 'sad' when filming was over.

“Deadpool is one of those characters who’s very unpredictable,” he told PA News Agency.

“I don’t know if I could speak specifically to that style, other than to say that I feel more free when I play the character than almost anything else in the world.

“I recognise how rare that air is to breathe. And on our last day of shooting, I don’t think I’ve ever been more sad or depressed to be walking off of a film set every day.”
