Ryan Reynolds made his first move on Blake Lively during a train ride to Boston: 'I was just begging her to sleep with me'

• Ryan Reynolds said he made his first move on now-wife Blake Lively while the two were traveling.
• "We got on the train and we rode together. I was just begging her to sleep with me," he recalled.
• The actor also said that the couple's relationship progressed "like a fairytale."

Ryan Reynolds revealed that he made his first move on Blake Lively during a train ride the couple was taking to Boston.

On a recent episode of the "Smartless" podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, the "Deadpool" actor opened up about the beginnings of his relationship with Lively.

"I met Blake on the darkest crease in the anus of the universe called 'Green Lantern,'" Reynolds said. "We were friends and buddies and about a year and a half later we went on a double date, but we were dating separate people."

According to the actor, the two "kept in touch" and occasionally saw each other, but it was never anything serious until they both found themselves on a train to Boston.

"Next thing you know, she was going to Boston, I was going to Boston, and I said, 'Well, I'll ride with you," Reynolds recalled. "We got on the train and we rode together. I was just begging her to sleep with me."

The "Green Lantern" said that their relationship from there progressed "like a fairytale."

"A week later I was like, 'We should buy a house together.' And we did," Reynolds revealed.

Reynolds and Lively first met in 2010 while filming "Green Lantern." At the time, Lively was still dating her "Gossip Girl" costar Penn Badgley, and Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson.

Lively and Badgley broke up that September, while Johansson and Reynolds announced their split in December 2010. He and Lively finally began dating in 2011, got married in a surprise 2012 wedding, and now have three daughters together.

The couple has opened up about their relationship in multiple past interviews.

In 2018, Lively told Us Weekly that she and Reynolds "poke fun at each other" all the time, and it's a sign of how close they are.

"All day long we joke around with each other because that's my best friend," she added.

And in 2016, when Reynolds received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he took the opportunity to rave about his wife, saying she is "everything" to him.

"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me … you make everything better, absolutely everything in my life. You've made me the father of my dreams when I thought I only had fun uncle potential," he said to Lively.
