Ryan Reynolds tells Fox News Digital it’s been ‘truly an experience of a lifetime’ collaborating with this Hollywood actor.

It looks like Ryan Reynolds has at least one thing in common with Camila Alves: They both love her husband, Matthew McConaughey.

Reynolds lauded the Texas-native on his Instagram story, calling him a "hunk of heaven" and thanking him for appearing in his movie, "Deadpool & Wolverine." 

"At its best, this business is an actual community and showing up for each other is a great example of that," Reynolds stated beneath a photo of McConaughey as ‘Cowboypool’ from the film that he both starred in and produced.

Some other big names who make an appearance are Jennifer Garner, Wesley Snipes, Channing Tatum and Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively, as "Lady Deadpool."
