Actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ryan-reynolds">Ryan Reynolds</a> is being mocked on social media for claiming that he and his wife, fellow Hollywood celebrity <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Blake Lively</a>, come from “working-class” backgrounds.
The 48-year-old initially made the comments as part of an <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/ryan-reynolds-interview-boy-band-film-ads-deadpool-1236085447/">interview</a> with The Hollywood Reporter. That piece was published on December 13, but the remark went viral after it surfaced on the official <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DDsLqrkRAod/?hl=en">Instagram</a> account for The Cut magazine on Wednesday.
Reynolds had been discussing how he and Lively try to give their four children “as normal a life as possible” despite being rich and famous.
“I try not to impose upon them the difference in their childhood to my childhood or my wife’s childhood,” the Canadian actor told THR. “We both grew up very working class, and I remember when they were very young, I used to say or think, like, ‘Oh God, I would never have had a gift like this when I was a kid,’ or, ‘I never would’ve had this luxury of getting takeout,’ or whatever.”
“Then I realized that that’s not really their bag of rocks to carry,” Reynolds added.
These statements are causing backlash mostly because Lively is understood to be one of the most infamous “nepo baby” stars who grew up in the industry. The actress’s father, Ernie, is an actor and director, while her mother, Elaine, works as a talent manager. All four of Lively’s other siblings are also working actors.
Commenters on Instagram made fun of Reynold’s claim.
“Quick search: She grew up in Tarzana and then went to Burbank High. Her whole family was in the entertainment business. She was cast in Sisterhood for the Traveling Pants while she was a teen. It’s giving at least middle class [vibes],” one person wrote. “Anyway none of that matters [because] she’s rich and insufferable now.”

“More and more I’m learning that rich people say ‘working class’ when they mean ‘had a salary,’” a second agreed.
“Just because her parents worked, doesn’t make them working class,” a third agreed.
This isn’t the first time a celebrity got called out for identifying as working class. Soccer star David Beckham <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/be-honest-david-beckham-chastises-wife-victoria-for-saying-she-grew-up-working-class">corrected his wife</a>, Victoria, when she claimed to come from a “working class” background during an episode of their Netflix special that aired last October. 
She said, “I think also we both come from families that work really hard. Both of our parents work very hard, we’re very working class.”
David interrupted from the next room and corrected his wife, urging her to “Be honest!”
“I am being honest,” Victoria said. Then David pushed her and asked, “What car did your dad drive you to school in?”
Several people echoed the “Be honest” line in response to Reynold’s latest comments about Lively.
