It’s a known fact that children of Hollywood celebrities live quite different and luxurious lives compared to other children, but it appears that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have their priorities straight when it comes to parenting. The actor talked about how he tries to give his four children a “normal” life, despite their parents being popular celebrities.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Reynolds explained that they try to give their children “as normal a life as possible.” He added, “I try not to impose on them the difference between their childhood and my childhood or my wife’s childhood.”
The Deadpool and Wolverine star revealed that he and his wife, Lively, both grew up “working class” and recalled that when his children were very young he used to say or think that they would never get such a gift. Would not have been found. He was a kid otherwise he would never have had the “luxury of getting takeout”.
He then talked about his realization, “It’s not really a bag of rocks for them to carry. They are already very close to gratitude and understand the world so much that they have a deep sense of empathy.
The Green Lantern star further talked about his children already being empathetic, which reassures him that he and his wife are doing well when it comes to parenthood. However, he did mention that his children are growing up differently than he did.
He told the outlet that when he was a kid, he used to just suck it up, run out of his house and be back by sunset, which he can’t even imagine now.
For those unaware, the A Red Note star and It End’s With Us actress has four children – James, Inez, Betty and Olin.
