Ryan Reynolds accused of rudeness towards a child journalist: what happened.

Scandal with Ryan Reynolds on the red carpet

According to The Sun: Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds found himself at the center of a scandal when he was accused of rudeness towards a young reporter on the red carpet of the Toronto film festival.

During an interview with a reporter from the Canadian television station CTV, Reynolds initially greeted the child with the words: “Hi little guy, what’s your question for me buddy?” However, some internet users criticized him for his follow-up words: “Nice to meet you too, let’s skip to the question...”

The child asked about ‘Chipotle mayo’ on his breakfast from Tim Hortons. To this, Ryan jokingly replied: “You know what, I wish I had some control over that, I can send a strongly-worded letter to the chef over at Tim Hortons.” After that, he rushed off and quickly left the interview area.

Many fans expressed outrage on social media, saying that his behavior was unfriendly. “He exudes meanness” and “That poor kid, way to ruin someone’s confidence” — commented users.

“Not a kind manner at all with this child. He’s lucky he wanted to interview him.”

However, not everyone condemned Reynolds. Some believed he did nothing wrong: “He didn’t do anything wrong? He is just being himself like he usually is with humor.”

According to sources, the festival team was closing the red carpet, and Ryan had to rush due to a scheduled timing, but he still stopped for the kids' interview.

Unpleasant situation for the actor

This incident marked the second PR scandal for Reynolds, as his wife Blake Lively also found herself at the center of a legal dispute.

Ryan was in Toronto for the promotion of his new documentary about John Candy.

Observers believe that the actor was simply overwhelmed by his schedule and the stress he had to deal with in such a tense moment.
