If the internet were a detective, this whole Ryan Reynolds situation would be the latest whodunit, wrapped in a layer of celebrity gossip, personal struggles, and online sleuthing. Now, we’re not one to get swept up in speculation, but there’s something undeniably compelling about this viral TikTok and Candace Owens’ reaction to it.

The theory? The Deadpool star might be hiding more than just his feelings. When it comes to celebrities, we’re always looking for a glimpse behind the curtain. But when the spotlight is on someone as charming and ‘picture-perfect’ as Reynolds, it’s tough to believe that there might be more lurking in the shadows. But Owens isn’t backing down.
She’s piecing together the clues in a way that makes you wonder—could this be more than just tabloid fodder? Let’s unpack it.
Candace Owens: Connecting the dots in Ryan Reynolds’ emotional puzzle
Candace Owens doesn’t shy away from a hot take, and her recent comments on Ryan Reynolds reflect her ability to dissect celebrity behavior in a way that catches attention. While the world may know him for his funny bone and Hollywood smile, Owens isn’t afraid to call out what’s behind the mask. She states (via YouTube):
There have been rumors for a long time that don’t look like they are just rumors.

Owens doesn’t stop there. She’s trying to offer a nuanced perspective on Reynolds’ emotional landscape.
I have been trying to like I guess you could say find that line carefully weaving through that line to kind of let you guys know that there may be some sociological factors at play here that there’s more going on emotionally with Ryan Reynolds that meets the eye his various romances etc etc.
According to Owens, Reynolds’ anger issues have been simmering for years, potentially tracing back to childhood, when he allegedly showed sociopathic tendencies. “Why is he so angry?” Owens reflects. Anyway, note that this isn’t the first time Owens has thrown a dart at the Deadpool star.
The TikTok theory: Is Ryan Reynolds hiding his true self?
Enter the TikTok user who quickly became the internet’s newest armchair detective. This is where things get spicy. With the precision of a surgeon, the TikTok user slices through the complexities, offering a theory that’s as bold as it is controversial: Ryan Reynolds might be gay. Wait..what?

In a viral video, the TikToker points to a certain text message—a moment where Reynolds allegedly uses phrases that, according to the user, straight men simply don’t say. In the same Owens podcast, the TikTok user says,
They’ve leaked all these text messages and, uh, here’s one supposedly from Ryan Reynolds, and, uh, what’s that, what’s that last line? Oh, he’s [Ryan Reynolds] gay. Oh, yeah, see, uh, straight guys don’t say that. Straight guys don’t say that. And, and that’s—I’m not some conservative, and I’m like, men gotta be men, but straight guys don’t say that.
Now, that’s a strong statement, one that cuts straight to the heart of the matter.
The TikToker brings up a 2017 event where Reynolds playfully kissed Andrew Garfield as part of a joke. “It was just a bit,” the TikToker argues, but for some, this moment reads as more than just a funny gag—it’s a clue in a larger narrative.
There’s even more to the theory: the user asserts that gay men have a “twinkle” in their eyes that straight men lack, and Reynolds’ eyes, in their view, lack that sparkle.
Gay men look like that… and you might go, ‘Oh, look at his shirt, oh look at his no, look at his dead eyes.’
Harsh? Maybe. But it’s this sort of sharp, no-holds-barred analysis that gets under the skin of many, including Candace Owens. For her, the TikTok theory isn’t as far-fetched as it may sound. “Straight men have dead eyes,” she quips, referring to the TikTok user’s assessment of Reynolds’ gaze.

The heart of the issue, as Candace Owens sees it, is not just the speculation about Reynolds’ s*xuality—it’s about the emotional toll that comes with denying your truth. She believes that Reynolds, by not being true to himself, has become a “vicious person who’s lashing out in a variety of ways.”
It’s just when you deny yourself that truth you’re just going to do weird crazy and everyone around you is going to have a hard time because you’re like trying to fit this square piece in a circle.
It’s the kind of emotional turbulence that leaves a trail of confusion, not just for the person involved but for everyone around them. When you’re not being honest with yourself, it’s like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, constantly battling a feeling of not belonging.
At the end of the day, we’re left with a lot of questions. Are the rumors just that—rumors? Or is there a deeper truth buried beneath all the speculation?
