Despite the multiple roles he has played for film and television, Ryan Reynolds claims that his strangest work experience was when he participated in Mask Singer Korea. In addition, the actor assures that it was a "really horrible" experience.
Ryan Reynolds has been in the world of acting for almost 30 years. With a career as long and successful as his, it is not surprising that he has signed some works in which he has had a difficult time.
Recently, the actor revealed in Today that one of the strangest experiences he has had was when he participated in the South Korean show King of Mask Singer in 2018.
The interviewers have asked the actor why he decided to participate in that show, to which the actor, laughing, responded: "I've been doing this job for a long time and, when you're on an international tour, you start saying, 'What's the the strangest show we can put on?'"
Ryan Reynolds said he was promoting Deadpool 2 and was told that the show was huge in South Korea, so the actor said he wanted to go: "At the time, no Westerners had participated before, so it was a big surprise when I took off my mask."
Despite the excitement at the beginning, he assures that he did not have a good experience: "It was crazy, I was really in hell. When I was there, I thought: 'Why did I sign up to do this? This is horrible! This It's really horrible! I don't even know this song, I don't know how to do this.' It was traumatic."
In 2018, the actor apologized on the show for what he considered a poor performance, yet he was still grateful for "the opportunity to test my limits."
