Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s daughters don’t understand why their dad kisses other women in movies. He doesn’t know what to say either. In a Q&A, Reynolds was put on the spot when a young boy in the audience asked him whether his kissing scenes with Zoe Saldaña were real.

Reynolds stars in “The Adam Project,” a new film about a guy who travels in time. The film hosted some screenings with audience members, who had some questions after watching it. “This is for Ryan,” said a little boy. “In the scene where you’re kissing the girl, was that real?” he asked, pretty abruptly. The audience instantly cracked up. “Whoa!” Ryan said. “This is the best Q&A ever,” said Jennifer Garner, who also stars in “The Adam Project.”

Ryan then provided a funny response yet he also addressed how difficult it is for kids to understand, especially his daughters. “I guess it was kinda… kinda real. But, how do I answer this? Is this being broadcast everywhere?” Ryan asked. “I didn’t mean it? This is the thing, I don’t know how to explain it to my own kids. But they watch this and they’re like ‘Daddy… what are you doing? It’s exactly the tactic I would use on them. Not anger, just disappointment,” he concluded his answer.

The video, which was shared on Netflix Geeked account, prompted a variety of hilarious comments from people. “That kid knew what he was doing,” someone wrote. “The kid was setting a trap,” wrote someone else.

Reynolds and Lively have three daughters, Inez, Betty and James. Reynolds has been very busy, acting in a variety of projects that range from original stuff like “The Adam Project” and “Free Guy,” to his established “Deadpool” franchise, which is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Last year, he announced he’d be taking a break from acting, explaining that he wants to spend some time with his family. “The biggest thing for me, and I know you have kids as well, is that I don’t want to miss this time with my kids,” he said in an interview.
