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.

Can you imagine leaving Reynolds for Sean Penn! Scarlett may be beautiful but she's clearly not too bright. As a matter of fact, she's a wacko.

I love Jennifer Aniston, but I'd rather see my down-to-earth beautiful daughter with Ryan Reynolds. They would get along beautifully.

Los Angeles suburb.

He is wearing too much clothing in these pictures. I'm sure he is a real person with real feeling but I'm more apt to pay attention, to what he says, if he isn't wearing much. Just saying

when one is as handsome as this dude is he aware of how cool he is? I wonder about egos.

I know how he feels about marriage. I myself am in the process of divorce (nearing the finish line for mine), and I just don't think I want to get married again. I kind of do, but when you're hurting,you just don't want to go through with it again. But who knows. He may change his mind, and I may change mine. All depends on whether or not you meet the right person. Just hope Ryan has the support of close family and friends. And he knows his fans are there for him too. For me the support of my family and friends has been the best for me. I've been able to deal with the pain, and been able to move on as best as possible. I wish him nothing but the best.

He is probably one of those arrogant egoist
who starts every conversation with,
I, ME, My..!
Personally I think he is very ugly, and uses
women to further his wanna be James Dean career..!
I SAID "WANNABE"..!
Wish Jennifer would wisen up and move away
from these kind of guys..!!

Original Scarlett Galabekian never was engaged and 200 pieces of stolen biological material called Scarlett Johansson was not design for family life..

Scarlett,
This arrogant bastiach is trying to make it
look like all your fault.. And I know better.
Next time watch for symbols of Narcissism...!

The funny thing is that although some think Ryan Reynolds looks gay, James Dean actually was gay, go figure...:)
