‘Deadpool’ star Ryan Reynolds spent his salary to keep screenwriters on the set

LA Times  

“Deadpool and Wolverine” star Ryan Reynolds spent his salary to keep screenwriters on the set of “Deadpool.” Ryan Reynolds revealed that he “let go of getting paid” for “Deadpool” so the other screenwriters could be present on the set. “When I finally got to make, it had been almost 10 years at that point,” Reynolds told the New York Times. I even let go of getting paid to do the movie just to put it back on the screen: They wouldn’t allow my co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick on set, so I took the little salary I had left and paid them to be on set with me so we could form a de facto writers room.” Reese and Wernick revealed Reynolds’ actions in 2016 during an episode of AMC’s “Geeking Out.” The writers said that Reynolds covered the expenses to keep them involved in the creative process. Ryan Reynolds paid out of his own money, out of his own pocket.” In his New York Times interview, Reynolds also noted that having limited time and money on the project proved beneficial.
