AceShowbiz - Ryan Reynolds feels like he is dead to his 7-month-old daughter James. While stopping by "CONAN" talk show on Tuesday, August 4, the 38-year-old actor revealed that his daughter's first word was "mama" and her life was then all about her mother.
"[It's] all about mom. I am dead to her," Ryan told host Conan O'Brien. "That's her first words, ironically. 'You're dead to me.' " The "Deadpool" actor jokingly argued that James' preference for her mother Blake Lively was because she has breasts. "There's an unfair advantage there," he said. "It turns out that breasts are actually a life support system and the child seems to gravitate towards the breasts. I'm just the breastless a**hole wandering around the room and getting in her sight line every once in a while."
Though Ryan may be jealous of Blake because their daughter called her first, he admitted how tough his wife is as she could still crack a joke in delivery room. "My wife is the real, I mean she is a mercenary," he said. "At one point in the middle of the delivery, the doctor's cell phone went off and she said, 'Oh, no. Go ahead, take a personal call. Feel free.' She was cracking jokes in the delivery room. She may have been on drugs, but I don't ask personal questions."
Ryan said he was in the delivery room when their daughter entered the world. "I was there for the conception of the child, so I thought the least I could do is be there in the delivery room," he joked. "I'm not going to lie to you. I saw things. But amazing." However, nothing much he did in the room. "I was a terrible coach," he admitted. "There was a lot of clapping. I went for a couple of high fives, which she did not return."
