Ryan Reynolds Surprises 'The View' Audience With Mom and Mentions Blake Lively

Actor Ryan Reynolds made an unexpected appearance on "The View," sitting in the audience with his mother, Tammy Reynolds. Known for his roles in films like Deadpool, Reynolds explained that he had called the show to secure seats, mentioning his wife's name, Blake Lively, to gain access. His mother, an avid viewer of the show, was visiting from Vancouver and had always wanted to attend a taping.

The surprise appearance excited both the audience and the cohosts, including Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa Farah Griffin, who extended an open invitation for Reynolds and his mother to return. Comedian Jo Koy, who was also present, was particularly thrilled to see Reynolds' mother, suggesting she should be brought on as a guest in the future. The visit was part of a personal effort by Reynolds to fulfill his mother's wish, and he noted that it was much less stressful than his usual onstage appearances.
