Taylor Swift’s fans are convinced that she played a significant role in the fallout between Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal. Their friendship, once celebrated after they starred together in the 2017 sci-horror film “Life,” is now under scrutiny following Gyllenhaal’s past relationship with Swift, who he dated briefly from late 2010 to early 2011. This connection has triggered discussions about the impact of their romantic history on the friendship between Ryan and Jake.
Social media users have speculated that Ryan and his wife Blake Lively‘s friendship with Swift may have strained Reynolds’ bond with Gyllenhaal. This speculation comes at a time when Ryan Reynolds is facing backlash from fans of Justin Baldoni, following a lawsuit involving his wife Blake Lively. Tensions have escalated with the circulation of a clip featuring Rebecca Ferguson, in which she seemingly criticizes an “absolute idiot” co-star. Many believe this co-star is Reynolds.
This clip originates from Ferguson’s appearance on the “Reign with Josh Smith” podcast in 2024. Although she shared a story about asserting herself against a difficult colleague, she did not clarify which actor she was referring to. Some fans have rallied around the idea that Ferguson was addressing Ryan Reynolds, while others argue that it would be more relevant to Jake Gyllenhaal, especially considering that Reynolds dies in “Life” and had limited scenes with Ferguson.
Rebecca Ferguson has denied that her comments were directed at Tom Cruise or Hugh Jackman, yet the controversy continues to swirl. While the future of the friendship between Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal remains uncertain, fans are left grappling with the implications of past relationships and their lingering effects on current friendships.
