(audio only) The Real Story Behind “I AM RYAN” | Hobart on Ryan Reynolds & Hollywood

Now, let me ask you this also then, Hobart.

This, this could be a good one.

I really...

And this one of my personal ones I wanna know myself.

Mm-hmm.

What's the craziest behind-the-scene moment you experienced working on films like Free Guy-

Hmm

... or on The Human Bo- um, The Hitman's Bodyguard?

Yeah.

Um, I, I, go back to Hitman's Bodyguard, 'cause like the Free Guy stuff was pretty basic, where it was like VFX lighting and stuff, so they're like filming me and then they're gonna replace it with Ryan later.

So that, that's nothing very fun.

But the, uh, The Hitman's Bodyguard was funny because it started out with just me posing, you know, like looking cool, and then all of a sudden they're like, "Okay, uh, here's some pistols." I'm like, "Ah, sweet," you know, "Illinois boy with some pistols.

Let's go." And they're like, "Can you dive?" And this is for 300, 350 bucks.

This is not normal Hollywood.

I'm like, "Yeah, I can dive with some pistols.

Let's go." So I started diving to the side and pretending and doing all the, the, the moves, right? But then they're like, "Can you pick up, uh, fake Sam Jackson?" I'm like, "Heck yeah, I can pick up fake Sam Jackson." [laughs] He's like some 55-year-old dude who's bald and stuff, barely looks like him.

They put him in the clothes.

Like, it's like they couldn't find the right guy, right? They didn't try very hard for Sam.

So anyway, I pick up this dude.

He's probably like two bills.

I'm like, "I'm ready.

Take the picture." Yeah.

[laughs] This is before AI, so that was the best part, picking up Sam.

Let me find out, Hobart, that you're the one that kinda made AI come into the movies.

[laughs]
