Ryan Reynolds is a surprise guest at iconic rock group's Walk of Fame ceremony after being mocked by fans
Ryan Reynolds was a surprise guest at Green Day's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Thursday.
The 48-year-old Deadpool sensation — who brushed aside mockery from fans after he rocked an overdone spray tan — supported the iconic punk-rock band at the event and even stepped up to the podium to give a speech.
Reynolds and wife Blake Lively have been making more public appearances in recent weeks, despite being embroiled in an ongoing lawsuit with Justin Baldoni.
The actor looked stylishly casual in tapered navy trousers and a black, collared sweater as he arrived on Hollywood Boulevard, rounding out his outfit with a pair of white sneakers.
He accessorized with dark sunglasses and looked handsome with a shadow of a grizzled beard — not long after the star joined the 'midlife crisis' hair dye club when he debuted new brown locks earlier this month.
The entertainment industry veteran swapped out his dark sunglasses for round spectacles while giving remarks at the event.
He made a joke before beginning his speech, telling the attentive crowd, 'I'm going to switch over to Billie Joe [Armstrong's] mom's glasses.'
Reynolds kept the humor going as he then stated, 'As many of you know, I am the modern face of punk.'
'And I am deeply honored to be here today to talk about Green Day,' he continued more seriously.
Then the star revealed, 'My connection to this iconic band goes back to its earliest days.'
Through his expletive-laden remarks, Ryan went on to share a heartwarming story about hearing Green Day's seminal 1997 song Good Riddance in a cafe in London while shooting Deadpool in 2023.
He said after the tune began, 'I watched people around this cafe change a little bit and it felt like a moment of togetherness, a scarce resource right now.'
'Music, concerts, films — they bring us together. We get to check all of our bulls**t and identity politics at the door and come together and feel something at the same time, in the same moment, together,' the father-of-four explained.
Gesturing toward the band, which includes members Billie Joe, Tre Cool, Matt Pinfield and Mike Dirnt, Ryan said, 'That's a rare thing to be able to share with the world.'
Green Day, who the actor said 'live at the intersection of nostalgia and evolution,' are fresh off their headlining Coachella 2025 stint.
In a 2010 interview with Bill Maher, Armstrong confirmed that the band's name was inspired by cannabis.
'I think at first we were trying to be the Cheech & Chong of punk rock, and some of us still are the Cheech & Chong of punk rock in a lot of ways,' he commented at the time.
And in a 2001 VH1 special, the singer-songwriter recalled: 'I got high one time and I wrote about the way I felt and I called the song Green Day.'
It was featured on the band's 1991 album 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. Prior to settling on Green Day, the collective went through other nominal iterations — Blood Rage, and later Sweet Children.
Ryan's latest outing at the Hollywood event comes shortly after he was mercilessly mocked by fans over his appearance.
On Tuesday he stepped with wife Blake in New York City to attend close pal Hugh Jackman's play, called Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Class.

One person questioned, 'Why is Ryan so orange?' and another typed out, 'Ten layers of spray tan on the back of that neck'
At one point, the two stars of Deadpool & Wolverine exchanged a friendly hug. Fans were quick to point out Ryan's overdone spray tan during the festivities as they commented on photos shared by gossip site DeuxMoi.
One person questioned, 'Why is Ryan so orange?' and another typed out, 'Ten layers of spray tan on the back of that neck.'
'Looks like his neck had been daubed with iodine pre-surgery!' someone else noted, while another wrote, 'Petition to stop Ryan's spray tans.'
Another critic compared the star's tan to a Friends episode in which Ross Geller was overly bronzed.
Media personality @stephwithdadeets said, 'Maybe he thought, hey everyone loves Ross, he was so funny, so maybe if I channel that, people will love me again.'
Blake and Ryan put on a brave face as they stepped out together this week following yet another bombshell amid their lawsuit with Justin Baldoni.
Marvel asked the court last week to be removed from the lawsuit and to 'quash the subpoena' over the Nicepool character in Deadpool & Wolverine — which Baldoni previously claimed was 'bullying.'
It also comes after Reynolds unveiled his newly dyed hair as he ditched his graying locks while attending the Time100 Gala in New York City.
He's become the latest member of the 'midlife crisis' hair dye club with other stars such as Ben Affleck and George Clooney.
Ryan had previously begun embracing his silver hair years earlier, sporting the color nearly 10 years ago during a 2016 outing in London.
He supported his wife at the NYC premiere of her new movie Another Simple Favor last weekend.
The couple cozied up together on the red carpet, and the actress was also accompanied by sister Lori, mother Willie Elain McAlpin, other sister Robyn, her husband Bart Johnson, and their daughter Isabela Ferrer.

'We made a change after Covid that's let us quit our jobs to travel the world'
Ryan Losasso and Jade Beaty, 30, are now known as Live The Dash and travel across the world filming their exploits for their TikTok account, which is followed by 505,000 people A couple quit their desk jobs and now travel the world full-time after discovering what they had captured on holiday. Ryan Losasso and Jade Beaty, 30, are now known as Live The Dash, one of the biggest UK travel creators with 505,000 followers on TikTok. They live a life many dream of, getting paid to whizz around the world to intriguing destinations. The advertising workers had not planned to become full-time TikTok content creators. In fact, it wasn't until they returned from a big six-month trip at the turn of the Covid lockdowns that they realised what they were sitting on. "We had all this video content when the world shut down, and we had a lot of time on our hands. So we turned to this huge stock of footage," Ryan told the Mirror. "We set ourselves a challenge of posting a video every day for 30 days. Then when some of that did really well, it spurred us on. We continued to post every day for six months." Do you have a travel story to share? Email webtravel@ READ MORE: Tourist warning to 10 million as Europe's hottest capital on alert Jade added: "It was surprising how quickly we got through that content. On a walk in Spain, the videos were doing quite well, and we realised we were going to run out of content soon. We started joking that we'd start going on trips." At first, the couple juggled their desk jobs with travel, booking themselves onto the cheapest flight out after they clocked off on a Friday and returning on Sunday. Two years ago, they decided to go full time. The risk has clearly paid off, as Jade and Ryan are among the most watched travel TikTok channels and won the platform's Travel Award for 2024. Part of the secret to their success is putting in the research hours before they go on a trip and then only travelling when they've landed on a great idea. That might be heading to New York to see if the hallowed 'dollar slice' of pizza can still be purchased, or around the UK in search for a genuine 99p 99 whippy. They've also spent the night on the fastest sleeper train in the world, which rushes snoozing passengers from Hong Kong to Shanghai. "Was it amazing? The tech is amazing, but you're sharing with three other strangers. It reaches 270 mph, but it's super smooth," Ryan explained. "For TikTok specifically, we have our hooks before we go. We film all we can, we film the journey, we film two intros, two hooks. We bet on all the horses." The search for something new that will engage their audiences takes the pair to places they might otherwise not have visited, which often turn out to be the most enjoyable. READ MORE: Brits warned of travel chaos as European airport hit by 10th walkout in 45 days "Somewhere I wasn't expecting much from was Weston-super-mare. It had a lot of cheap whippies. It is obviously a faded Victorian seaside town, but the beach is gorgeous," Ryan said. Jade added: "We also like to hunt out weird hotels. We stayed in a cow cabin with unlimited free milk, near Ed Sheeran's hometown, called Easton Farm Park. We also stayed in these huge tree houses in Derby." The old adage of 'if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life' seems true in the couple's case. They still have the travel bug and are hugely excited by their trips. Part of that means pushing themselves to engage with people they meet along the way. "We have this rule that whenever we're on the plane, we have to speak to the person next to us. One guy told us 'do what excites you'. Six years later, we still tell ourselves that. We call it Conrad's message." The couple also recommends running every day and practicing good communication for travelling couples who want to avoid arguments while on the road. In terms of finding inspiration, they recommend using the adjustable 'For You' feed on TikTok. It is now possible to customise content preferences so you can see more or less of certain content in topics from over 10 categories – including travel, sports, nature, and food and drink An AI-powered 'smart keyword filter" that allows users to limit content they don't want to see'. "The For You feed is the heart of TikTok, a way for us to discover new content. We use the new features, manage topics, and think it's really cool that you can filter which topics you want to see more or less of."
