Ryan Reynolds’ start in the film industry was not easy, since he had to deal with several setbacks and lackluster films before he became world-famous as Merc with a Mouth. However, even back then the actor was not free from controversies, as his experience while filmingThe Amityville Horrorreveals.
While Reynolds is today battling a sea of criticism over his wife Blake Lively’s ongoing feud with Justin Baldoni, back then he caused quite a trouble on set when he slapped a child actor. But that wasn’t the only thing he did, as the actor himself revealed once.
When Ryan Reynolds slapped a kid on the set ofThe Amityville Horror
Ryan Reynoldsstarred in the critically blasted yet commercially successful (viaBox Office Mojo),The Amityville Horror. A remake of the 1979 film of the same name, the film was criticized by fans and critics alike for lacking any real elements of horror, badly written, and poorly developed scares.

While Reynolds’ character lacked any substance and depth, the actor was praised for his performance. During one of the shoots, the actor even improvised a bit when he slapped one of the child actors in the film, Jesse James, who was actually one of his on-screen kids.
He had it coming. No, it was actually horrible. I didn’t mean to do it. It wasn’t hard or anything. He looked up like he just won the lottery. It was just so cool to him. And I look over and the script supervisor’s crying, and I’m trying to apologize to her. I don’t know what’s happening.
Stated the actor once in an interview with theRadio Free. While he regretted his little improvisation, his comments have come back to haunt him amid the ongoing Blake Lively drama since he joked further in the interview that ‘the Indians’ did it to him, since his character in the film was possessed by them.

While his comments and actions did not grab much attention way back, they are certainly garnering attention ashe has been dragged intotheBlake Lively–Justin Baldonidrama and even has a lawsuit filed against him for defamation. Back when shooting the horror flick, the actor apparently played a bit of an emotional game with his young co-stars, that fans now find offensive.
No, I didn’t ever talk to them. I don’t want to get attached to the kids. I don’t want to get to know them and love them. I want to stay as far away from them as possible. It helps me do my job better.
Reynolds had stated to Radio Times when asked if he socialized with the kids off camera. Joking that the kids were little adults and respected his space and decision, Reynolds assured that everyone was fine with it. However, fans have been blasting the actor for not only improvising slapping Jesse James but also for the way he ‘neglected’ the child actors while off camera, leading to a whole new controversy two decades after the release of the film.
The Amityville Horroris available to be rented on Amazon Prime.
