Ryan Reynolds' Bill Murray Call Timing Causes Stress in Blake Lively Relationship

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, Hollywood's beloved couple, have been facing relationship stress due to a prolonged legal battle. Meanwhile, actor Bill Murray's film appearances have been scarce, with 'Ghostbusters' being his latest notable role. Reynolds recently produced a documentary on the late comedian John Candy, titled 'John Candy: I Like Me'.

Reynolds faced challenges in reaching Bill Murray for the documentary. Despite their shared history with John Candy - Murray and Candy worked together on 'SCTV' and 'Stripes' - Murray's recent reduced involvement in films made contact difficult. Reynolds was thrilled when Murray finally called, but the timing couldn't have been worse. As the documentary's deadline loomed, Reynolds received Murray's call at an inopportune moment, causing him to exclaim at his wife Blake Lively.

The stress in Reynolds and Lively's relationship, exacerbated by their legal battle, was temporarily heightened by Reynolds' unexpected call from Bill Murray. Despite the inconvenient timing, Reynolds' excitement at connecting with Murray for the documentary is a testament to his dedication to honouring John Candy's legacy.
