”Fatherhood is the best thing.” Ryan Reynolds Talks About Life With Two Daughters

Following the birth of his second daughter with wife, Blake Lively, in September, excited dad, Ryan Reynolds, reveals he’s basking in the beauty of fatherhood more than ever.

During a Wednesday appearance on Canada’s eTalk, the 40-year-old Canadian actor said:

“No it didn’t change the dynamic. There’s just more. There’s more love, there’s more diapers. There’s more all that stuff, you know.”

He added he’s loved seeing James be a big sister to their new addition.

“It was kind of profound. I just love watching my older daughter take care of the newborn. That’s been kind of neat to see.”

And while the couple has remained mum on their newborn’s name, Reynolds can confirm they didn’t name her Excalibur Anaconda Reynolds, as he once joked he was going to name his firstborn.

“I had [suggested] the same name, except with all the letters in the name being silent, which again was confusing for everyone. Especially me,” he jokes. We settled on the right one.”

The proud father of two girls went on to joke that he’s doing his part to “wipe men off the face of the planet.”

All joking aside, he gushed that fatherhood is “the best thing.”

“You know it’s the best thing that could ever happen to you,” he shared.

Reynolds, who was in Toronto Wednesday to throw his support behind SickKids Foundation’s VS. campaign, which is seeking new monthly donors to help fund a new operating suite, tells said he was inspired after getting to know several kids battling cancer through his most recent film “Deadpool,” in which his character initially faces the disease.

“You get close to these kids and people sometimes say ‘Don’t get too close,’ and it’s like come on, of course you get close. Afterwards you’re sort of left in this spiral and you sort of think about what can I do to transmute this pain I’m in or this anguish of losing this kid.

And you just put it into something good. And Sick Kids is that thing.”

He finally noted that parents are “forgotten wonders” in any child’s fight against cancer, adding that he hates to see any child or parent go through such pain.
