Family Guy– a show best known for its eccentric humor and pop culture references that make fans laugh out loud and groan all at the same time. From Robert Downey Jr. to Tom Brady, many iconic celebrities have paid The Griffins a visit but nothing will ever beat Ryan Reynolds’ cameo in the show. Ryan Reynolds played himself inFamily Guyor rather, a version of himself that somehow became obsessed with the patriarch of the Griffin family.
After getting attached to Peter and his spirit, he scares the man away. But when he returns to clear things out with the hot actor who lives across from him, things quickly turn Southwards for him and he has no option but to leave Ryan Reynolds’ house in tears. Poor Peter!
When Ryan Reynolds reduced Peter Griffin to tears
Ryan Reynoldsruns into Peter and Lois Griffin where he asks them for directions. It was at this moment that the renowned actor grew a liking for not Lois, but Peter. He compliments him by calling him a“guy in his twenties”and drives off with a promise to see him later.
Later, Reynolds moves across the Griffin house and steps out shirtless to bring in his newspaper only to get noticed by Peter. Coincidence? We think not! When Peter attends his housewarming party, the two engage in a“tickle fight.”

After a few days, Reynolds and Peter head out to dinner together, and when the former tries to kiss the latter, the man excuses himself and runs away for his life. He then goes to Reynolds’ house to confront him about being gay, which the actor denies.
In the words of Reynolds’ character,
Peter! I’m not gay. Let me put it to you this way, I’m attracted to you in the way a man is attracted to a woman. But I’m not gay. When you live out in Hollywood you learn that life is about different spirits and energies along the way. I just thought that maybe our spirits could intertwine, you know? Our energies could merge. Like my spirit could go up inside your energy.
Wait, did we hear the last part right? Moving on…
A disappointed Reynolds then kicks Peter out of his home, bringing the man to tears. Peter tries everything from engaging in a tickle fight to swearing that he“can change.”Now, that’s a cameo we will never forget!
