AceShowbiz - Ryan Reynolds delivered his snarky acceptance speech after his TV series "Welcome to Wrexham" won an award at the 2024 Creative Arts Emmys this weekend. Wearing his Deadpool mask, the actor interrupted co-creator Rob McElhenney's speech in a hilarious video.
The clip, which was posted on Sunday, January 7 by both the A.F.C. Wrexham owners, began with Rob saying, "Wow, an Emmy, what an incredible honor." He continued, "There's so many people to thank. I've been waiting for this moment for 16 years. So I've got a lot to say. I'd like to start by thanking…."
Rob didn't get to finish his sentence as Deadpool came interrupting him. The Merc with a Mouth delivered his speech while wearing a tux and holding up what seemed to be a broken Emmy trophy.
"Mr. Lively couldn't be here to accept this broken Emmy so he sent me on his behalf," he explained. "First and foremost, Wrexham, we love you. Thank you for letting Rob and the other guy tell your story. Cymru am byth, b***hes," he added, meaning "Wales forever" in Welsh.
Deadpool went on saying, "I'd also like to thank the Academy for this honor and for not asking us to attend the televised awards show with the real celebrities. I'd also like to thank FX and Disney for their support and in exchange Mr. Lively promises to not f**k up my next movie."
Before concluding the speech, the MCU character made sure to give a pointed warning to the Academy, saying, "Lastly, the Oscars. You're on notice motherf**kers. Maybe we can get a token VFX nod next year. The amount of work on Hugh and Ryan's face alone is at least worth a nod."
Later, Ryan explained that the broken Emmy wasn't the result of Deadpool's doing. "In order to accept the Emmy for 'Welcome to Wrexham', I needed to borrow someone else's," the actor wrote on Instagram Stories. "Of course I called [Hugh]. Unsurprisingly, he wasn't sure if he had an Emmy. Turns out he does. He gives it to me, then asks, 'Is it supposed to look like that?' It isn't. It's broken. I love this man."
In another post, Ryan shared a picture of him inside an elevator, seemingly after filming the acceptance speech. Holding a Deadpool mask, he could be seen looking stylish in a three-piece suit that he interestingly paired with cozy bedroom slippers.
The picture was taken by his wife Blake Lively, who was featured in the reflection of the mirror. Jokingly calling her "my Instagram boyfriend," he also mentioned the slippers, writing, "Slippers by 'f**k it. They won't see below the waist.' "
