Ryan Reynolds Is A Cross-Dresser

Ryan Reynolds, your 11th sexiest man alive, is set to cross-dress in his next as-yet untitled comedy. The sometime-Deadpool and soon-to-be Green Lantern will be donning dress and mascara to win his ex back, in one of the more unusual dating strategies we've heard.

In a plot that sounds suspiciously like Mrs Doubtfire with the children removed (or Some Like It Hot without any gangsters or millionaires), the cross-dressing will be allowing Reynolds' dude-y character to befriend the ex who dumped him and hopefully win her back (our prediction: not that easy, but Life Lessons will be learned before the happy ending).

It's all being written by Allan Loeb, the 21 and Wall Street 2 screenwriter, and produced by Working Title. So now the question becomes: where will it fit on the spectrum of cross-dressing comedies? Above White Chicks, we feel sure, but how will it fare against She's The Man or Total Recall? And will Green Lantern fans accept their hero in drag?

RE: Far Sexier
Totally agree with you on all fronts, he definitely should have been higher than eleven - I mean ] at him! nd I also fell in love with The Proposal, I know it's not original or brilliant etc etc but I happened to see it at a time when it was just perfect and now I adore it no matter how bad anyone thinks it is. ... Read More

Far Sexier
I'm still in a state of shock and disbelief that he was only voted number 11.   But whatever role he plays, he make the character suitibly likeable and laughable. Even when wielding two ma-hoo-sive swords and killing people. Rom-com actors get bad press, I like him though and will probably go to see this after being nicely surprised at The Proposal. ... Read More
