Morena Baccarin, known for her role in Deadpool, has shared her perspective on kissing and filming intimate scenes with Ryan Reynolds, and it wasn’t exactly a pleasant experience.
There are plenty of Ryan Reynolds fans eager for any chance to give him a quick kiss, Morena Baccarin has acknowledged that even if Blake Lively were on board, the reality isn’t as glamorous as one might think.
To give Ryan Reynolds due credit, Morena Baccarin formed her opinions while he spent a significant amount of time in a latex suit portraying Deadpool, though it might still not appeal to everyone.
Both actors starred together in the original Deadpool film and its 2018 sequel, where Baccarin portrayed Vanessa, the protagonist’s girlfriend.
Their roles required them to get intimately involved, including in a densely packed montage of sex scenes featured in the first movie.

Throughout the scene, they can be seen celebrating Christmas, Valentine’s Day, International Women’s Day, and other national holidays.
Baccarin revealed insights about this montage during an interview with Conan O’Brien in 2017.
„The film was really fun, minus the two days of sex scenes, it was wonderful, the whole experience,” she said.
Baccarin continued: „It took two days to shoot the sex scene, because I think it was us making sweet love for an entire calendar year.”

„So it was all the holidays, you know. So we dressed differently for every one.”
Even though filming two full days of intimate scenes would be taxing for anyone, Baccarin confessed she couldn’t even find enjoyment in scenes that involved just kissing.
In a 2018 interview with People magazine, Baccarin elaborated that Ryan Reynolds didn’t find Deadpool’s costume particularly enjoyable.
