Ryan Reynolds reveals his SUPER awkward first date with Blake Lively

If you thought it was love at first sight between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds then you would be very wrong. 

Despite both being single when they first met on the set of the Green Lantern, the pair became good friends for an entire year before they decided to get close. 

And speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Ryan revealed that it took quite a while to figure out that they had real chemistry and it was probably not realised at the best moment. 

"We were buddies then. I remember it was funny because for about a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and all that stuff we were both single.

"We went on a double date. She was on a date with another guy and I was on a date with another girl.

"That was the most awkward date for their respective probably because we were just like fireworks coming across.

"It was weird at first but we were buddies for a long time. I think it's the best way to have a relationship is to start as friends."

Their poor dates! 

The 39-year-old went on to discuss how he's handling being a Dad. 

"Its amazing. I just always marvel how common it is and yet how profound it is.

"And I always laugh because you know celebrities you always cringe when they talk about their kids. Like 'my child is the only one that has ever exited a womb out, ever.' 

"But I love it. I truly worship that kid. It's terrible. She has me so far wrapped around her finger it's dumb. She says 'dada' and I will walk through a cement wall to get to her."

Nawwh!
