Ryan Reynolds just revealed how he and Blake Lively got together, and the story is iconic. 

"I met Blake on the darkest crease in the anus of the universe called Green Lantern," Reynolds said on the SmartLess podcast, according to People. "We were friends and buddies and about a year-and-a-half later we went on a double date, but we were with dating separate people."

After this, the Deadpool actor said he and Lively “always kind of kept in touch but casually.” Then, a relationship started to form. "Next thing you know, she was going to Boston; I was going to Boston, and I said, 'Well, I'll ride with you.' We got on the train and we rode together," he recalled. "I was just begging her to sleep with me."

Their relationship moved quickly. When asked about the process of realizing Lively was the One, Reynolds said it was "out of a fairytale."

"A week later I was like, 'We should buy a house together,'" Reynolds said on the podcast, per People. "And we did."
