ryan reynolds "looked like a vietnamese girl"


Actor Ryan Reynolds, who was recently named People's Sexiest Man Alive, is known for having a pretty good physique. But he apparently didn't always look like a studly white dude. But does he look Vietnamese to you?

During a recent appearance on Conan, the Green Lantern star claimed that during his awkward teenage years, he looked like "a Vietnamese girl." Uh, what? Ryan Reynolds Talks Awkward High School Days.
Reynolds appeared on "Conan" on Thursday night to pimp his "Green Lantern" and discuss some of his less cool moments. Which involved his entire childhood, it seems.

"Up until I was like, 18, I looked like a Vietnamese girl," Reynolds laughed. "I remember, it took me a while that you could actually talk to girls. I remember during elementary school, I used to accidentally fall on [girls] during volleyball practice. And just a few years later, that's illegal. That's straight up inappropriate."
Yo, what does that even mean? Oh, right -- it's always funnier when you add an ethnicity to the joke. Sadly, Vietnamese girls everywhere can now claim that they look like "a teenage Ryan Reynolds." Now that is disturbing.
