Blake Lively joked she is regretting teaching her children how to “read a calendar” after she was victim of a toilet prank on April Fool’s Day.
Blake Lively has huge parenting regret after her kids’ April Fool’s Day prank
The 38-year-old actress and her husband, fellow actor Ryan Reynolds, have four children together, daughters James, 11, Inez, nine, and six-year-old Betty, as well as three-year-old son Olin.
And the It Ends With Us actress was caught out by the youngsters on Wednesday (01.04.26) when she went to use the loo only to discover it had been covered in plastic wrapping, and decorated red.
Blake took to Instagram to share a snap of her kids’ playful prank, and she wrote in the caption: “I knew I never should’ve taught them how to read a calendar.”
Ryan previously admitted his daughter James had watched his Deadpool and Wolverine movie when she was nine years old – and said she was “sort of OK”.
The 49-year-old actor let his oldest girl watch the film ahead of its release, despite its adult content, which led to it getting an R-rating that Ryan said was the result of the movie sticking to the “authenticity” of its raunchy, violent roots.
He told People: “My nine-year-old saw the movie, and she’s sort of okay! (But she) loved it.”
But Ryan added: “I’m not telling other parents to do that.”
The actor previously told The New York Times he watched R-rated movies as a child, which he said “left a huge impression” on him, because he “didn’t feel like people were pulling punches”.
He also admitted watching R-rated movies as a youngster has been “a huge inspiration” to “so many of the things” he has since made.
Ryan said about Deadpool and Wolverine’s rating: “Deadpool and the world that Deadpool was able to inhabit (in) the other two movies was limitless, so I would say that in this movie, particularly bringing Wolverine over, the R-rating is only used to lay the groundwork for as much authenticity between these two characters as possible.
“It’s not exploited in any way. It’s not used to shock people or make some silly set piece just to justify its R-rating.
“It’s so that we can talk the way these two characters should talk, and behave the way these two characters should behave (so) that they are as close to the origins of their comic book ancestry as humanly possible.”
