Ryan Reynolds has been getting laughs all over the world as he promotes the new Deadpool movie – but his latest stunt might be the silliest yet.
While in South Korea, Ryan appeared on the popular singing show King of Masked Singer, performing Annie’s Tomorrow dressed as a unicorn.
As the show’s formula works, the star’s appearance was left a secret until a big reveal ending. Throughout his performance, his face remained covered with a multi-colored unicorn mask.
