Actor Ryan Reynolds recently opened up about his fanboying over Mariah Carey and revealed the reason behind! During a chat with ET, the 44-year-old Canadian actor explained why he’s been a longtime fan of Carey, and what it’s like being a part of her fandom “Lambily” along with his wife, Blake Lively, and their kids, James, 6, Inez, 4, and Betty, 1. 

“We are obsessives. We love Mariah,” Reynolds told ET. “We love music, we love celebration. I mean, that is what music is, so it just drives you into a feeling.” When asked if he’s part od Mariah’s fandom aka “Lambily,” Reynolds replied, “Oh yeah, for sure, in a sea of wolves.”

Reynolds also told ET it was actually his idea, in fact, to incorporate Carey’s hit song, “Fantasy,” into his new film “Free Gu”y. “We all did rewrites of the script … and Mariah Carey’s ‘Fantasy,’ I put that in the script,” he said. “It was like, it really beamed like an engine for the movie. And I love that Jodie Comer in the third act of the movie actually sings. The person singing in the third act is actually Jodie. A lot of other people don’t realize that. I love that.”

Later on in the interview, Ryan talked about his new film Free Guy and said: “I do think it’s the best movie-making experience that I’ve ever had, easily, but also the best movie I’ve ever done,” Reynolds shared, during a virtual press conference with director Shawn Levy. “It’s the most pertinent to our times, in that sense. Where I feel ‘Deadpool’ was a movie that was pertinent to the comic book culture when it came out, this really to me speaks in a broader spectrum of where we are in the world and how we are in the world.”
