During the conversation, he spoke about his plan to take a break from movie-making until summer of next year and spend time with his family, including wife Blake Lively, and their young daughters James, 6, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2.
“You can’t say you’re doing that without recognizing the obscene privilege it is to be able to do that,” he said.
“Part of it is to allow Blake to do some of the things that she wants to do and get to play in her own sandbox. And the other part is purely selfish. It’s just that I don’t want to miss this time. You don’t get this time back. And my kids are in school now, so they can’t travel with me to location. I have to be there. So it’s important and I’m super lucky I get to do it,” he said, adding it’s “quite literally a circus all the time” at their house with three young girls.
“There’s always something going on. There’s always some extracurricular thing that the kids are doing, that sort of thing. So, yeah, I’ll be there doing all that stuff. I’m going to experiment with my cooking abilities again. It’s going to be nice,” he continued.
Ryan also gave insight into their parenting.
“We look at everything like we share everything. We’re friends first and foremost, and that’s the biggest part of it. But I’m a working dad, she’s a working mom, and we trade off and we make sure that we each have time for each other and we also have time for our kids. And that’s the work you do. And that’s part of the job. I think that’s the thing we love,” he said.
