David Beckham is flirting with Deadpool’s Ryan Reynolds on Instagram
Footballing legend David Beckham has been caught flirting withĀ Deadpool’sĀ Ryan Reynolds on Instagram.
On Wednesday (September 19), the former Manchester United star commented on a photoĀ the actor had uploaded on to Instagram, in which Reynolds said he was “boiling” in a car on the set for his upcoming movieĀ 6 Underground.
“God you are handsome,” Beckham responded.
The pair are known to beĀ friends, with Beckham even starring in a video to promote theĀ DeadpoolĀ sequel in May.
In the clip, Deadpool (Reynolds) can be seen apologising to Beckham for saying he sounded like he had “mouth-sexed a can of helium” in the 2016 film.
Reynolds and Beckham also appeared together for an episode ofĀ The Graham Norton ShowĀ in May.
In May,Ā Deadpool 2Ā won praise for featuring LGBT+ characters on the big screen.
The second movie revealed that Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) is a lesbian, and also introduced her girlfriend Yukio (Shioli Kutsuna).
And, in July, Reynolds said he would āloveā to explore his character Deadpoolās sexuality more in future films.
Speaking during a Q&A at Comic-Con San Diego, Reynolds said: āI certainly think that this universe needs to represent and reflect the world in very real ways.
“The great thing about Deadpool is that weāre allowed to do things that other superhero movies donāt necessarily do.
“Itās something that Iād love to see more of, certainly through [Deadpool], certainly through this universe because itās something that weāre building out more.ā
He added: “I think [Deadpoolās sexual interest in men] could be played up more. Heās an outsider in every way, shape, and form.ā
Some have speculated that the R-rated Deadpool, which is already banned in certain overseas conservative markets due to its violent and sexual content, had consequently less reason to worry about gay content than the Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
