Entertainment Weekly
Ryan Reynolds thinks that being considered a sex symbol is "really embarrassing." So, as he (ironically?) poses shirtless for Entertainment Weekly this week, the actor also opines about his reality TV guilty pleasure, his work ethic, chemistry with 'The Proposal' co-star Sandra Bullock and more.
On His Sex Symbol Status: "If you take any of that seriously, you need to be euthanized, ASAP. There are moments when you can use that to your advantage. But it's really embarrassing. I think I fear more than anything just sounding like a complete a--hole when I have to answer that question."
On His Rapport With Bullock: "We had a kind of Abbott and Costello routine we'd been doing for years anyway. When I get someone like Sandy to work with -- who's so good at hitting the gas -- it's perfect for me."
On Life as a Hollywood Actor: "I've always just liked working. I like being a working actor. There's an old saying that you don't ever finish a movie, you abandon it, and I really believe that. I never walk away from a take and pat myself on the back. You always walk away going, 'Damnit, I should have tried this!' It's that possibility that keeps me coming back for more."
