Ryan Reynolds thinks he’s "lucky" to have developed such good chemistry with Samuel L. Jackson.
The 40-year-old actor stars alongside the Hollywood icon in the new Patrick Hughes-directed comedy ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ and Ryan has revealed just how much he enjoyed performing with Jackson.
He explained: "These are two guys who are very steeped in their personas, right from the get-go.
"I mean, you know who Sam’s character is within two minutes and you know who my character is within two minutes … so you just put them together and the chemistry is there."
Ryan – who stars as Michael Bryce, a triple A-rated executive protection agent, in the movie – also revealed how much of his on-screen performances are improvised.
Speaking to Collider, he shared: "For me, all of it … I’ll write alternatives. Like, for ‘Deadpool’, I’ll write 10 alts and it seems like I’m improvising on the day. Some people go, ‘Woah, you’re improvising a lot.’
"But I’m not. I’m just remembering all of my alts, you know."
Meanwhile, Jackson recently claimed he’s never worried about being the lead in a movie.
The Hollywood star is among the best-known faces in the movie industry, but has insisted his career choices have never been driven by ego.
He explained: "I watched movies all my life. And I knew who character actors are.
"I always wanted to be those guys that move the story along in a way, or when you saw them, you knew a specific kind of thing was going to happen."
