issue published Thursday, June 26, the Deadpool & Wolverine producer-star addressed whether “online discourse” surrounding the legal war have impacted his bottom line.

“I can read something that says, ‘He should be drawn and quartered.’ I could read something that says I should win a Nobel Prize. Both are meaningless,” Reynolds, 48, said.

“None of us are comprised of our best moments. None of us are defined by our worst moments. We are something in the middle.” The Time article indicated that he and Lively, 37, who at one point appeared during the interview to offer snacks, are declining to speak specifically about the legal saga with Baldoni.

Of feeling balance amid what the publication called “tumultuous turns in his public life,” Reynolds brought up conflict-resolution workshops he attended in his twenties. “Conflict resolution changed my life in a way that I can’t quantify,” he explained.

“You don’t have to agree with the person. You can empathize, you can validate. You can do all those things and get closer to them without having to just blindly agree or win or lose.”
