Earlier this year, the Deadpool star was also recognized at the American Cinematheque Awards for his contribution to film. Board Chair Rick Nictia issued a similar warm statement about the actor.
"Ryan Reynolds is a Renaissance Man 2.0 for our times," the American Cinematheque board chair explained to Variety. "He is an actor, a business entrepreneur, a writer, a comedian, a producer and a creative innovator on screen and off. Most important to us, he is a true modern movie star. He has reached the heights of stardom in movies shown on all platforms, in all genres ranging from comedies to dramas to action films or combinations of all three."
He continued, "His popular movies are too numerous to single out but most recently he has achieved unprecedented new levels of audience enthusiasm with 'Deadpool,' 'The Adam Project' and 'Red Notice.' The Canadian government recently designated him a 'National Treasure' and the American Cinematheque joins them in celebrating Ryan Reynolds as the 36th recipient of the American Cinematheque Award,"
