Blake Lively‘s husband, Ryan Reynolds, possesses the uncanny ability to pivot from wholesome to R-rated at any given moment. Proof of the actor’s ability to turn on a dime was evident in a recent tweet from the Deadpool actor which has now gone viral as Reynolds’ tweets are wont to do.
The tweet contained a not so kid-friendly joke about his Sesame Street appearance from 2010 that fans recently unearthed. In the skit, the actor can be seen wearing a costume shaped like the letter “A” as he is surrounded by the cute, furry puppets we all know and love.

A person on Twitter managed to stumble across the vintage Ryan Reynolds Sesame Street appearance. “Watching a little [Sesame Street] with the kiddo, and it’s an episode with [Ryan Reynolds] and the gang doing an A-Team gag,” one fan tweeted. “It’s a delight, for both me and the kiddo.”
Reynolds saw the wholesome compliment about his time playing a letter with the muppets, but his response was far from Rated G and instead would probably be considered a hard R.
Ryan Reynolds fired back with a joke that is only politely accepted in a bathroom.
I remember how challenging it was to sing because the A-hole was so tight. But I pushed through because kids all over the country were counting on me. https://t.co/EiXEUjomxE

“[Families] all over watched you poke [your] head through that tight a-hole,” another person joked in a reply.
“Surely they could’ve loosened it a bit for you,” yet another thought in Tweet form.
Others replied in a state of shock. “I’ll take ‘Things you can’t say on Sesame Street’ for $1000.”
“[You]… You pushed through the [A-hole]? Ryan put this tweet back in the oven it’s not done yet,” another person instructed.
