In the new issue of [_GQ_](http://www.gq.com/story/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-gq-cover "undefined"), _Deadpool_ star Ryan Reynolds says one of his oldest friends tried to sell pictures of James, Reynolds’ daughter with wife and fellow actor Blake Lively, for money. “He had been shopping pictures of my baby around,” he told the magazine. “I kind of got in front of it, which is good. But it was a slightly dark period. A bad couple of weeks.” Reynolds says it was the first time he felt betrayed by someone close to him since becoming famous. “It was like death,” he said. “It was like one of those devastating things to find out.” After learning of the attempted sale, Reynolds confronted the friend with a “strongly worded conversation.” “It’s just, ‘Oh, well, now I’m never going to see you or talk to you again, unfortunately,'” he explained. “That’s kind of how he worked out.” Read the rest of the interview [over at _GQ_](http://www.gq.com/story/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-gq-cover "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4043363/ryan-reynolds-friend-caught-selling-baby-photos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4043363/ryan-reynolds-friend-caught-selling-baby-photos/"},"headline":"Ryan Reynolds Caught His Friend Trying to Sell Photos of His Baby Daughter","datePublished":"2015-09-21T19:54:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T11:07:53.637Z","description":"\"It was like one of those devastating things to find out.”","url":"https://time.com/4043363/ryan-reynolds-friend-caught-selling-baby-photos/","keywords":["celebrities","Ryan Reynolds"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5f92ff1741a67e78/6988517a0b72e341826e4240/ryan-reynolds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5f92ff1741a67e78/6988517a0b72e341826e4240/ryan-reynolds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds poses for a portrait in promotion of his upcoming role in the film \"Woman in Gold\" on Feb. 26, 2015 in New York.","caption":"Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds poses for a portrait in promotion of his upcoming role in the film \"Woman in Gold\" on Feb. 26, 2015 in New York.","creditText":"Victoria Will—Invision/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4043363/ryan-reynolds-friend-caught-selling-baby-photos/","name":"Ryan Reynolds Caught His Friend Trying to Sell Photos of His Baby Daughter"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Late-Night Highlight: Why Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds Fight Over Their Baby","description":"Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have apparently been fighting a lot lately.
