The Real Reason Ryan Reynolds Is Taking A Break From Acting

Ryan Reynolds has always been hilariously transparent about the ups and downs of parenthood. His Twitter thread has become somewhat of an ode to making funny remarks about his children, as well as Blake Lively and himself as parents (via Buzzfeed). In other moments, Reynolds has been very candid about how important family is to him, he shared with Access Hollywood, "If anything got crazy in my life they're the first people I would lean on. They're calm, they have wisdom and strength." 

Well, Reynolds has just announced that he's dedicating himself to them full-time. The "Deadpool" actor announced that he will be taking a "sabbatical" from movie-making to focus on his family. Reynolds explained how he wants to be there for his children as well as his new creative agency Maximum Effort and software platform MNTN. "Now that they're in school, they have a somewhat normal schedule. I think it's totally important for their development and I really enjoy being a present dad. I love taking them to school in the morning, I love picking them up," he said (via People).

The Canadian actor touchingly shared, "It's just that I don't want to miss this time. You don't get this time back. And my kids are in school now, so they can't travel with me to location. I have to be there. So it's important and I'm super lucky I get to do it" (via E! Online).
