Ryan Reynolds: 'I Don't Think I Want to Get Married Again'

Ryan Reynolds Scarlett Johansson divorce

Although he worked his entire career to stay out of those magazines with the splashy headlines and rumor mill rumblings, Ryan Reynolds found himself on the cover of every one of them when he split from wife of two years, Scarlett Johansson, in December 2010. Now, he's opening up to Details magazine about the physics of failed relationships.

"Relationships ending move you from who you were to who you are at a much more accelerated rate than almost anything else on earth," he explained.

Since his split with arguably the sexiest woman in Hollywood, while she has been able to move on -- and has publicly done so with Sean Penn -- Reynolds has no plans to get serious with anyone until he finds his way back to normal.

"Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain," he told Details. "But you come out of it. I'm not out of it yet. At all."

And the media's prying eye didn't help Reynolds to get over his marquee size love any faster. Although he understands that the salacious and salivating media comes with the territory, it doesn't mean he has to like it.

"I'll say this: The media wasn't invited to my marriage, and they're definitely not invited into the divorce."

But invited or not, they assumed a front row seat -- however legitimate their information was.

"What was happening privately was the exact opposite of what was being reported," he said. "There was no story and no scandal, so the narrative was just created for me. That was the most disturbing part. I wasn't angry. I absolutely predicted every beat of it ... There was a time, though, when looking at the Internet was a miracle cure for feeling good about myself."

But that time must have come and gone quickly as just months after the couple filed their divorce papers, Johansson was seen about town with her new beau, Penn. And although Johansson looks to be enjoying her new love interest, or rebound, Reynolds is content flying solo for a while, and possibly forever.

"I have not interest in dating right now," he said. "It just seems so kind of alien to me at this point ... I don't think I want to get married again."

But, still, like many of his jovial on-screen characters, Reynolds is able to see the silver lining in his darkness.

"Any kind of crisis can be good. It wakes you up. I gotta say, I'm a different person that I was six months ago."

Lighting up the box office instead of the tabloids with his bevy of forthcoming projects, including the highly anticipated 'Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters,' we have no doubt that America will come to know and respect the single man.

Your a lucky man Ryan. You didnt waste more than 2 years with that wh*ore! It could have been a lot worse. And as far as her being the sexiest women in hollywood. Huh?? Dont think so by FAR!! Anyway buddy, you dodged a major sl*t bullet:)

By buffy

my thoughts exactly. She's with Penn after Ryan who is drop dead beautiful?

She is, BTW, no where near the "sexiest woman in Hollywood" unless they all look like a chipmunk on meth.

Way to go Ryan. Hope you find yourself a really good woman who deserves you.

Ryan you picked the wrong person, you are a cutie pie and look at what she is with now that will tell you what kind of person she is, you have too much sense to be with that skank anyway! You will have no problem getting dates when your ready!

By Cusic

I don't want to marry him or date him.but I would have no problem getting kinky with him

By Jen

He is sooooo yummy!!! I never did get Johannsen's appeal. She is NOT the sexiest woman in Hollywood. Period.

By The Natman

Gee Kiki, I am sorry you feel Scarlett is one of the sexiest people. She is pretty in a homely way. I guess women like you find her sexy.

By Leah C

I agree with you, Bill. I never thought Scarlet was any sort of great beauty of Hollywood. Her head's too big in proportion to the rest of her body (and no, this is not jealousy). There are much more beautiful women lighting up the screen, past and present.

Ryan is a handsome, talented man- he's seems honest, funny and very kindhearted in the interviews I've seen him do over the years. I just chose the wrong woman to spend his life with. When he's ready, he may change his mind about getting remarried.

Sorry, that should read "he chose the wrong woman to spend his life with."

Sometimes things don't work no matter how hard we try or how bad we want it. Everything happens for a reason. Sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders. I am sure he will bounce back and be better than before!

Ryan & Scarlett were never going to last she's a talentless hack who is difficult to work with. besides their wedding was also the day the news of Paul Newman's death broke and they thought that their wedding would override that sad new & it didn't. the two of them are wannabe's and he was a legend

By Mountaineer

Ryan Reynolds would be a great match-up for Jennifer Anniston, a lovely lady who was scorned by her then husband, Brad Pitt and Angelina Joline. He is as handsome as Jennifer is beautiful and they both need someone to love!

By Mari

Aniston and Reynolds would make a gorgeous couple, that's for sure.

By Alice

I've never known much about Ryan Reynolds, but after reading this interview I've got a lot of respect for him. So many people (ala Scarlett) hop into a new relationship right away, often because they don't want to feel any pain. I've never understood how people do that, and it can be so hurtful to the former partner...as if that last relationship meant nothing. It's nice to see there are still people with souls left in this world who can feel pain, spend time alone and be honest with themselves, and try and learn from their experiences. Good for him. I wish him the best.

By wannabebelle25

Well said!!! I wish Ryan all the luck in the world. I have been divorced and it does hurt and you definitely need time to recover from that and get back to being yourself. Good move Ryan!!!

By Lib

Sean Penn for Ryan, she is dumb. I don't blame him for not wanting to date anytime soon, won't be a problem for him anyway,, I mean, thud.

By Maria1963

Oh Ryan, you could probably get any woman you wanted...take your time and have fun. If you need any help getting over your hurt, I will be more than happy to oblige! LOL!

By Melinda

When did this goof-ball grow up and turn into such a manly HUNK!

By Chris

He's drop dead gorgeous, never understood what he saw in that skank Scarlett! Wow, she really upgraded, went from this hunk to Sean Penn who is old enough to be her father!! Ryan will have no problem finding another woman! He also has the sexiest abs around!!
