​Ryan Reynolds Thanks David Beckham For Appearing In Latest 'Deadpool' Sketch

​Ryan Reynolds Thanks David Beckham For Appearing In Latest 'Deadpool' Sketch

Reynolds thanked the footballer for 'coming out to play'

You may remember that little dig at David Beckham in the last Deadpool film - you know, the one where the superhero says Beckham's voice sounds like 'he mouth-sexed a can of helium'. Despite being a really pretty accurate description of ol' Goldenballs, Deadpool has now decided to be the bigger man and apologise:

It's a great little sketch, not least because it reminds us that, while Becks is smooth as hell on the football pitch, in the acting world... perhaps slightly less so.

But fair play to him for being up for a laugh - something that Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds has recognised, tweeting the footballer to say thanks for 'coming out to play'.

However, the people of the Internet clearly weren't thinking about how much of a good sport Becks is. Or how Reynolds was a good bloke for courteously thanking his co-star.

Nope, the Internet was losing its shit because there was simply 'too much handsome' in one photo. I mean, they've got a point.

One of the comments read: "I'm a straight man, but this is too much even for me."

Someone else said: "It's too much handsome..."

Another person wrote: "This is a literal picture orgasm."

Other people asked them to do a face swap, which would be really amazing, to be fair. Go on, LADs.

In the sketch that Reynolds was referring to, Wade Wilson pings a few texts over to Beckham to apologise for his comments in the last film, but the footballer simply sighs and ignores them.

Deadpool clearly must have seen the savage little 'read' notification under the messages, because he then decides to head on over to Beckham's pad to apologise IRL.

Here ensues a montage of ways in which Deadpool tries to make it up to Becks, including a plate of cookies and milk.

The best is easily when he stands outside with a bunch of helium-filled balloons, and says: "Too soon?"

But it seems as though nothing is going to mend that broken bridge until Deadpool comes back dressed in a Canadian football jersey offering Beckham two tickets to the FIFA World Cup.

Hilariously, when David questions 'Pool what he's apologising for, Ryan explains that the voice gag was a bit too far and he shouldn't have crossed that line - but this is where the footballer gets his revenge.

When he says he doesn't know what Wilson is talking about, Ryan asks what he should be saying sorry for and Beckham responds: "I mean there's a list: Green Lantern, R.I.P.D., Selfless, Blade Trinity, Boltneck."

Touché, Becks, touché.
