I still don’t quite get how Scarlett Johansson was able to quit being married to Canadian hottie Ryan Reynolds, and is now shacking up with Sean Penn, what a dumbass! Don’t get me wrong, I really do think Sean is great guy and a terrific actor but you certainly can’t compare him to Ryan when it comes to looks! Here’s Ryan looking extra hot on the latest cover of Details magazine, he is so damn dreamy, someday Scarlett will be totally kicking herself over deciding to ditch the world’s sexiest man!

Ryan Reynolds appears on the June/July cover of DETAILS magazine in a photo shoot with Matthias Vriens-McGrath that took place in Atlanta. Reynolds has risen from comedy cutup to rom-com heartthrob to megabudget action star on the back of his everyman appeal—by just being a guy.

“The Hollywood a**hole is becoming a bit of a dinosaur every day, thank God,” says Jason Bateman—Reynold’s co-star in the upcoming The Change-Up. “But it’s still not the norm to be as decent as Ryan is. Decent without being a boob. He’s the World’s Sexiest Man and all that sh*t, but he’s still a real guy, not a noodle.”

Sandra Bullock says her longtime friend and costar has a complexity beyond the friendly face that draws an audience in: “It makes you want to watch more of him to figure it out. As his friend, any dark secrets that I may or may not know are forever safe with me. Unless he doesn’t do something I want him to do, like babysitting. When that day comes, I’ll be sure to hold a press conference.” The rest of his success she credits to his comic timing, height and Canadian-ness. “He constantly talks of the healing powers of maple syrup. I don’t know if that’s a Canadian trait, but it’s always uncomfortable when it comes up.”

“I love Canada,” Reynolds says when told about Bullock’s view of his nationality. “It makes a nice hat for America. When America runs out of water, it’s the first place I’ll go. I gotta go home. I haven’t been there in a long, long time.”

On not settling on one genre of films:
“I’m not declaring nothing, man! I’m getting away with something I’d like to continue getting away with.”

Joking about his dark side:
“You want to see what I’m like when we turn the tape recorder off? I slit throats, that’s what I do. I only drink panda tears. Do not bring me water. Do not bring me filtered water. I want the tears of a newborn panda, and I will have them—because I’m Ryan Reynolds!”

On not sharing details of his divorce:
“I’ll say this: the media was not invited to my marriage, and they’re definitely not invited into the divorce.”
