When you see a trending query about Ryan Reynolds that asks “Does Ryan Reynolds have a twin brother?” it might initially seem confusing. The interest appears to have gained traction following the release of the highly anticipated movie ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ where the actor takes up the role of multiple variants of his iconic character.
Reynolds’ comedic brilliance in this multiversal storytelling, also featuring the returning Dafne Keen, has brought up a rather amusing speculation about his family tree.
Ryan Reynolds Does Not Have a Twin Brother
In ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ Ryan Reynolds portrays multiple versions of Wade Wilson aka Deadpool. The film introduces us to several never-before-seen variants of the character, at least on the big screen. The fact that all of them carry unique traits and quirks meant it was easy to distinguish one from the other.
One of the fan-favorite variants, who had a relatively larger screen time was Nicepool, a long-haired peace loving version of Deadpool. Reynolds’ ability to switch between these personalities effortlessly meant some fans were confused if the actor had a twin brother in real life.

Previously, people thought Ryan Reynolds had a twin because he created a comedic character named Gordon for interviews and ads, using clever editing to make it seem like he had a twin.
While Ryan Reynolds does not have a twin brother, he does have a number of siblings in real life. Born in Vancouver, Canada, Ryan is the youngest of four brothers. His siblings are Jeff, Patrick, and Terry Reynolds. Unlike Ryan, his brothers have remained largely away from the spotlight. None of them are celebrities and prefer to live a private life.
Ryan Reynolds’ Brothers: Jeff, Terry, and Patrick
Each of the Reynolds siblings has carved out a unique path of their own. We all know about the youngest sibling Ryan, so let’s get to know a bit about his three brothers.
Jeff Reynolds: The most private of the trio, Jeff rarely ever makes an appearance in the public eye. Despite this, Ryan does not hesitate to highlight Jeff’s significance in his life, labeling him his first friend. Their strong bond can be seen whenever Ryan shares a throwback photo of his brother.
Terry Reynolds: Following in the footsteps of their dad, Terry, the oldest brother, became a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer. His choice to pursue this profession and carry on the family legacy of service and dedication is genuinely admirable. It reflects a deep respect for their late father, James Reynolds, who served as a Mountie before succumbing to Parkinson’s disease.
Patrick Reynolds: Unlike his siblings, Patrick chose to become an educator. He stands out as a teacher at Coyote Creek Elementary in British Columbia. The Deadpool star is often full of praise for Patrick and proud of his achievements for his artistic contributions to his students.
The Reynolds siblings’ close-knit relationship and shared experiences are pretty evident thanks to their occasional playful social media interactions. Their bond and enduring support have only grown stronger since their father’s illness and subsequent loss.
