The Adam Project Star Ryan Reynolds Explains Why He Doesn't Want To Direct Movies
While promoting his latest film, The Adam Project, star Ryan Reynolds shares why he doesn’t want to direct movies in his future.

The two have a long-standing working relationship, most known for their collaboration on Levy's 2021 hit action comedy, Free Guy.
