Rumors have been swirling online suggesting that Ryan Reynolds may have used a prosthetic nose to portray the character of “Nicepool” in the latest Deadpool movie.

Nicepool Baldoni

Internet users have speculated that this move could be a subtle jab at actor Justin Baldoni, with claims that Reynolds deliberately altered his appearance in the film to resemble Baldoni. However, there is no concrete evidence to support these claims.

The rumors have sparked a wave of online controversy, with fans and critics alike questioning whether Reynolds’ character design was intended to mock the It Ends With Us actor and director.

Internet sleuths have also come forward to allege that Nicepool made comments in the Deadpool film seemingly hinting that the character may be based on Baldoni. For instance, Nicepool claims that he aims to “host a podcast that monetizes the women’s movement.” Baldoni, in real life, hosts The Man Enough Podcast and was once honored with a Women’s Solidarity Award. However, this award was reportedly revoked after sexual harassment accusations from Lively.

Online, people have also begun pointing out similarities between Nicepool’s and Baldoni’s hairstyles. Nicepool sports a man bun in the film, with some users suggesting that this look is a subtle jab at Baldoni, who is occasionally seen with the same hairstyle.

Nicepool Prosthetic Nose

The speculation about the prosthetic nose has gained traction on social media, with some pointing to certain similarities between the “Nicepool” character’s features and Baldoni’s real-life appearance. Critics have expressed concern that this could be an inappropriate or even mean-spirited attempt at poking fun at Baldoni, who has no direct connection to Reynolds’ Deadpool franchise.

As the speculation intensifies, Reynolds finds himself under increased scrutiny for his portrayal of Nicepool.

While it’s unclear whether the alleged prosthetic nose was a deliberate choice for comedic effect or a coincidence, the rumors highlight how closely fans are watching the actors’ every move, especially in the midst of ongoing Hollywood controversies involving Baldoni and Reynold’s wife, Blake Lively.

Reynolds has yet to comment on the supposed claims, leaving fans to speculate on the true intentions behind his latest Deadpool role. Whether intentional or not, the alleged resemblance to Baldoni continues to stir up conversation in Hollywood and beyond.

Again, there is no evidence to back up alleged claims that Nicepool is based on Baldoni or that Reynolds sported a prosthetic nose in the Deadpool movie to resemble Baldoni.
