Reynolds Admits: 'lucky Socks' Reveal Led To 'deadpool' Test Leak

In an unexpected twist of events, Hollywood heartthrob and Deadpool franchise star Ryan Reynolds has come clean about the much-discussed leaked test footage that catapulted the Merc with a Mouth into cinematic glory. In an exclusive interview, Reynolds admitted that it wasn't his unparalleled cinematic intuition that led to Deadpool's success, but rather, his "lucky socks."

According to sources close to the actor, Reynolds has been known to wear a particular pair of socks during high-stakes negotiations and critical decisions. "It started as a joke," said one insider, "but ever since that fateful day when those socks were involved in the Deadpool test footage deal, Ryan's been rather superstitious about them."

The actor, who has previously joked about his ability to "make things happen" on set (IMDB), has now taken it a step further by admitting that his lucky socks may be the real MVP in Hollywood.

Fans of Deadpool, however, are not buying into Reynolds' explanation, instead seeing this as another example of the actor's self-deprecating humor and knack for creating headlines. "If Ryan says it was the socks, I'm going to believe it's the socks," one fan tweeted @deadpoolmovie. "But I think he's just pulling our legs."

While we may never know the truth behind Reynolds' lucky socks, one thing is certain: Deadpool has found a perfect actor in its star and an unconventional ally in a pair of magical garments.
