When you think of Ryan Reynolds, you probably think of his hilarious Twitter presence and Deadpool.
You probably don't think of a bleach-blond Reynolds in a superman costume, right?
Well, if you want that image burned in your mind, head on over to Amazon Prime Video and select Paper Man.
Yeah. It exists.
Paper Man, which came out circa 2010, is:
"...A comedic drama about an unlikely friendship between Richard, a failed middle-aged novelist who has never quite grown up and Abby, a 17-year-old girl whose role in a family tragedy years earlier has stolen away her youth. Richard has moved to a Long Island beach community for the winter season in order to overcome his writer's block."
The movie also stars Jeff Daniels, Emma Stone, and Lisa Kudrow. Ryan Reynolds stars as a character called "Captain Excellent."
But just like Wikipedia cannot fully explain Captain Excellent's role in the story, Reynolds cannot explain anything about the movie.
"I have zero answers," writes Reynolds.
Here's the trailer, in case you're curious:

Do we have more answers now?
Of course, the bleach-blond hair has recently become a lockdown trend amongst men.
So perhaps Reynolds was just getting a decade head start.
But just like Ryan, we have no answers.
In 2010, the world was a very different place.
You can get Paper Man here.
