When asked by Entertainment Weekly if he was actually upset in the photo, Ryan replied, “No, that’s a problem I’ve had all my life. If I’m not aware a photo is being taken, my natural resting face is one of a man dying.”

“I had no idea somebody was taking a photo,” he added. “Therefore I was resting comfortably in my persona of a man whose soul is visibly exiting this earth.”
