In this clip, Reynolds, who has an eight-month-old baby with wife and _Gossip Girl_ star Blake Lively, attempts to assemble a crib from IKEA. “Well, besides a slow descent into alcoholism, I’m just really having trouble finding all the screws and all the pieces that go with it,” he says in a “phone call” with customer service. “So I’m just wondering if there’s a representative — or five — who could come by and make this happen for me?” So ladies, if you still want him, then just be prepared to assemble the IKEA furniture by yourself. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4048223/ryan-reynolds-ikea-crib/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4048223/ryan-reynolds-ikea-crib/"},"headline":"Watch New Dad Ryan Reynolds Try to Assemble an IKEA Crib","datePublished":"2015-09-24T15:17:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:10.361Z","description":"Stars: They're just like us!","url":"https://time.com/4048223/ryan-reynolds-ikea-crib/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
