[Watch (HLS stream): Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Make First-Ever Public Appearance with Daughters: See the Adorable Photos!](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/qcNLPQEF.m3u8) (0:39)  _Published 2016-12-15. The whole family came out to support Ryan Reynolds Thursday!_  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Aug 11, 2017 4:52 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Aug 11, 2017 4:52 PM UTC [Ryan Reynolds](http://time.com/4893198/ryan-reynolds-trolls-spiderman/) is a man of many talents — comedy, acting, being Blake Lively’s [husband](http://time.com/4881113/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-love/). But he’s the first to admit [cooking is not one of them](http://www.menshealth.com/guy-wisdom/ryan-reynolds-7-and-half-rules-of-awesome). In a throwback post shared on Instagram, [Salma Hayek](http://motto.time.com/4700737/salma-hayek-aging-gracefully-botox/) gave audiences insight into what goes on in the Reynolds-Lively household when they invite a guest over for a meal. Hint: it doesn’t involve the _Deadpool_ star getting down to work in the kitchen, although he _does_ appear happy to stand by and applaud the work done over the stove. “When your friends invite you for dinner and you end up doing all the work,” Hayek captioned the photo. Hayek and Reynolds worked together on [_The Hitman’s Bodyguard_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1959563/), playing the wife of a hitman (Hayek) and his bodyguard (Reynolds) in the action comedy, out August 18\. Hayek also appeared with star Blake Lively in [_Savages_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1615065/), back in 2012\. It’s been a busy year for the actor, who recently starred in the tense film [_Beatriz at Dinner_](http://time.com/4810496/beatriz-at-dinner-review/) as well. In the photo, Hayek is also seen balancing Reynolds’ ten-month-old daughter [Ines](http://time.com/3948758/ryan-reynolds-selfless/) on her hip while stirring the unseen contents of a giant copper pot. (Hayek has a daughter of her own with husband Francois-Henri Pinault: Valentina, age nine.) Just goes to show that Hayek is a master multi-tasker, too. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4897291/ryan-reynolds-salma-hayek-dinner/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4897291/ryan-reynolds-salma-hayek-dinner/"},"headline":"Here's What Happened When Ryan Reynolds Hosted Salma Hayek for Dinner","datePublished":"2017-08-11T16:52:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-08T09:28:24.959Z","description":"The 'Hitman's Bodyguard' costars enjoyed a dinner at Reynolds' home — but it was Hayek who came through with the cooking chops.","url":"https://time.com/4897291/ryan-reynolds-salma-hayek-dinner/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Ryan Reynolds"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaf0b16994462af36/6988d95f7cdbac83d7d5991c/salma-hayek.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaf0b16994462af36/6988d95f7cdbac83d7d5991c/salma-hayek.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Build Presents Miguel Arteta, Salma Hayek and John Lithgow Discussing \"Beatriz At Dinner\"","caption":"Build Presents Miguel Arteta, Salma Hayek and John Lithgow Discussing \"Beatriz At Dinner\"","creditText":"Roy Rochlin—FilmMagic","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":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4897291/ryan-reynolds-salma-hayek-dinner/","name":"Here's What Happened When Ryan Reynolds Hosted Salma Hayek for Dinner"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Make First-Ever Public Appearance with Daughters: See the Adorable Photos!","description":"The whole family came out to support Ryan Reynolds Thursday!","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/qcNLPQEF/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-12-15T22:17:10.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/qcNLPQEF.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4897291/ryan-reynolds-salma-hayek-dinner/","duration":"PT39S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4897291/ryan-reynolds-salma-hayek-dinner/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
