The north of the border alliterate actor needed some good publicity.
What better way than to be filmed signing autographs for children as they patiently wait out in the cold for you.
It is remarkable that the actor signed anything or said anything more than f**k you because that is his normal response.
The fact that all the kids had one of two pictures to be signed and all had the same pen and it was all just so fake.

Ryan Reynolds is under fire after a video surfaced of him signing autographs in New York, with social media users accusing him of orchestrating the moment for positive publicity. The criticism comes as he and Blake Lively informed a federal judge they plan to seek dismissal of Justin Baldoni’s defamation lawsuit against them.
The video, posted by a paparazzo account, shows Reynolds signing Deadpool posters for fans. However, skeptics pointed out that everyone had similar merchandise and blue pens, questioning if the event was staged. Some even claimed it was “damage control” amid the lawsuit drama. At the end of the clip, a woman was heard shouting, “Justin is better,” fueling further speculation.
The lawsuit stems from Blake Lively’s allegations that Baldoni sexually harassed her on set and later tried to damage her reputation. Baldoni denied the claims and responded with a $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds, and The New York Times over its coverage of the allegations.
As the legal battle unfolds, Reynolds’ public outing has only intensified online scrutiny. The first hearing in the case is set for Monday.
