Ryan Reynolds talks about ‘meaningless' gossip in legal case

Ryan Reynolds is talking about the background noise he is surrounded by.

The actor and director revealed he silenced headlines and hearsay about wife Blake Lively’s legal matter with Justin Baldoni.

In his profile for the TIME100 Companiesissue, Reynolds said: “I can read something that says, ‘He should be drawn and quartered.' I could read something that says I should win a Nobel Prize. Both are meaningless.”

The 48-year-old added: “None of us are comprised of our best moments. None of us are defined by our worst moments. We are something in the middle.” 

Reynolds continued: “Accessibility and accountability are a big part of how I do things… The people that I work with know me, so there’s never a question of anything like that. If you operate with some degree of core values and integrity, they’re going to help you up. If you’re an a--hole, they’re not. And that’s pretty simple.”
