I'm not interested in his work but I see him mentioned from time to time because I am a Taylor Swift fan.
He was in a Canadian soap opera, National Lampoon, Deadpool and many other shows/movies. I see he is a businessman with a stake in a football club. No doubt this man does a lot. Is he someone who appeals to people who like Marvel comics? Maybe that's why I don't know much about him or think he's a big deal? |

He also has a Aviation Gin. He is married to Blake Lively and they have a big social media following.
He's a movie star. It's okay if it's not your thing. |

| Also he did a 2 season reality show about Wrexham which was very popular. So it's more than just owning a stake in the team. |

OP, you know how there are a lot of people in the world who may not be your cup of tea, whether celebrities or not?
He's just another one of them. |

| He's a movie star who is the face of several different businesses, so he's in the media a lot: it's hard not to see him. And he's a conventionally attractive man who mostly plays "hero next door" types. I am not sure you need to think of him as a big deal, though - is someone telling you that you should? |

| Not a Deadpool fan but many of us remember him from Two Guys and a Girl, Van Wilder, then all the rom coms like just Friends. |

| He is also a business man and loaded due to this, he and his wife are social, she has the WASP look but with nose job prettier and definitely sexier, seems either really or faux friendlier, they come from solid middle class not rich places--so basically the dream and wanna be of most dcum posters, |

| He’s a celebrity who seems to genuinely love his adorable celebrity wife and kids and he isn’t a scumbag. I like to root for a family who can make this work in Hollywood. |

| Go watch The Proposal with RR and Sandra Bullock. I think that was the movie that turned a corner for him. Super fun movie. |

He's in a lot of movies and he's very funny in a self deprecating way. He has a sense of humor about his own image (see also Ryan Gosling). He is good at marketing and uses his own celebrity to hawk his variety of products but manages to do so in a way where he doesn't ever get quite over saturated.
He's very good at managing his brand, and he works a lot so he pops up a lot but it doesn't seem try hard because he's always actually working on something. IE he isn't in the news for doing something jerky, but he's almost always in a commercial or something that makes you laugh. |

He is a mega businessman, a good looking actor, and just a smart overall investor.
He's a guy everyone wants to be. You don't have to like his movies, but you have to respect his sharp business acumen. He's made massive amounts of money on business moreso than his acting career. |

| I find him so annoying, something about his face and nasal voice. He tries very hard. Not sure he is as nice as he portrays himself to be. |
