Sharing thescreen with former Sexiest Man Alive honoree Ryan Reynolds can be distracting — just askDeadpool actor T.J. Miller. The 34-year-old dished to HELLO! on Monday night inNew York City about working with his “unattractive” co-star.

“[Ryan’s] great!He’s such a good improviser,” T.J. said at a fan event presented by TwentiethCentury Fox. “He’s such an unattractive human being.”

However the actor’s features proved to be a bit of a challenge for the Silicone Valley star when it came time for them to improvise and riff on set. T.J. joked, “I sort of got lost in his eyes for about a day and a half so I didn’t find my way back until the following week.”

After successfullyfinding his way back, the HBO star admitted that he and his co-star broke characterwhile improvising in their comedy film, but "luckily" for Ryan his face wasconcealed in his Deadpool suit. “We both were breaking a fair amount. [Ryan]is like Deadpool,” the actor said. “He says some sh-t that you're like what, wheredid that come from. It’s so silly, but it’s vulgar.”

T.J. added, “Youjust can’t imagine what kind of mind came up with that, but it’s Ryan’s.”

Ryan revealedto reporters at the event, that after waiting 11 years for the film to come tofruition, it is finally “a dream come true.” He said, “I’ve wanted to make this movie with such a passion and adesperation for so long that I was sort of to a certain extent, I washeartbroken when we weren’t able to make it and then along comes a littlemiracle called the Internet, which our materials leaked onto and the fansdemanded the movie.”
