As anyone who follows him on Twitter will surely testify, Ryan Reynolds is one funny guy.
The Deadpool star has always got something hilarious to say when it comes to social media, but as it turns out, he's a skilled practical joker, too.

The Golden Globe nominee is gracing the cover of September's Men's Health and in an interview for the magazine, he revealed the best prank he's ever pulled.
"A friend of mine left town for a week. When he was gone, I painted his entire office puce," admitted the actor. "A strange colour, because it's kind of like this muddy, ugly sort of red."
"But we didn't just paint his office that colour - we painted everything in his entire office that colour," added Reynolds. They painted "the inside of his desk, every pencil, every pen - everything."
Pretty commendable of him to devote that much time to arsing around given his hectic filming schedule.

But that wasn't all Reynolds revealed in the interview. The actor also detailed his 7.5 laws of reinvention, where he gave tips on creativity, being a joker and even swearing.
"I love a good compound swear word," Ryan said. "'This party's shitty' isn't nearly as effective as 'This party's a total shit symphony'. That gives it a little jushe."
And, according to Ryan, it's no wonder he's so good at dieting, given how terrible he is in the kitchen. He said: "I am not innovative in the kitchen. If I cook, you'll have a structure fire. The firemen will kick down our door, take my wife away, and give her a better life."
You've got to love that sense of humour, and there's certainly no shortage of it on Ryan's social media accounts, where he's constantly posting hilarious updates about his infant daughter, or taking any opportunity to take the piss out of Hugh Jackman.
"I've certainly said things online where I've thought, oh boy. I'm fortunate that there's some precedent for me acting like a jackass. If I were somebody like, I dunno, Condoleezza Rice, it might be a bit different.

"But you have to set precedents at some point."
