There's only one thing in this world sharper than Ryan Reynolds' cheekbones, and that's Ryan Reynolds' sense of humour.

Even the briefest of visits to his Twitter feed will provide beautiful proof of this. If he's not busy responding to the many, many odd requests tweeted at him by fans, Reynolds can mostly be found sharing unusual parenting tips or tweeting about the ongoing agony of fatherhood.
