Ryan Reynolds was a surprise guest at Green Day’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Thursday.

Popular actor Ryan Reynolds, known for his role in Deadpool, made an appearance at an event where he supported a famous punk-rock band. Despite facing criticism for his excessive spray tan, he confidently took the stage to deliver a speech.

Accompanied by his wife Blake Lively, Reynolds has been stepping out more frequently in the public eye. This comes amidst an ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, showcasing the couple’s resilience.

Arriving at Hollywood Boulevard, Reynolds sported a chic yet casual look, donning navy trousers, a black collared sweater, and white sneakers to complete his ensemble.

He accessorized with dark sunglasses and looked handsome with a shadow of a grizzled beard — not long after the star joined the ‘midlife crisis’ hair dye club when he debuted new brown locks earlier this month.

The entertainment industry veteran swapped out his dark sunglasses for round spectacles while giving remarks at the event.

He made a joke before beginning his speech, telling the attentive crowd, ‘I’m going to switch over to Billie Joe [Armstrong’s] mom’s glasses.’

Reynolds kept the humor going as he then stated, ‘As many of you know, I am the modern face of punk.’

‘And I am deeply honored to be here today to talk about Green Day,’ he continued more seriously.

Then the star revealed, ‘My connection to this iconic band goes back to its earliest days.’

Through his expletive-laden remarks, Ryan went on to share a heartwarming story about hearing Green Day’s seminal 1997 song Good Riddance in a cafe in London while shooting Deadpool in 2023.

He said after the tune began, ‘I watched people around this cafe change a little bit and it felt like a moment of togetherness, a scarce resource right now.’

‘Music, concerts, films — they bring us together. We get to check all of our bulls**t and identity politics at the door and come together and feel something at the same time, in the same moment, together,’ the father-of-four explained. 

Gesturing toward the band, which includes members Billie Joe, Tre Cool, Matt Pinfield and Mike Dirnt, Ryan said, ‘That’s a rare thing to be able to share with the world.’

Green Day, who the actor said ‘live at the intersection of nostalgia and evolution,’ are fresh off their headlining Coachella 2025 stint.

In a 2010 interview with Bill Maher, Armstrong confirmed that the band’s name was inspired by cannabis.

‘I think at first we were trying to be the Cheech & Chong of punk rock, and some of us still are the Cheech & Chong of punk rock in a lot of ways,’ he commented at the time.

And in a 2001 VH1 special, the singer-songwriter recalled: ‘I got high one time and I wrote about the way I felt and I called the song Green Day.’

It was featured on the band’s 1991 album 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. Prior to settling on Green Day, the collective went through other nominal iterations — Blood Rage, and later Sweet Children.

Ryan’s latest outing at the Hollywood event comes shortly after he was mercilessly mocked by fans over his appearance. 

On Tuesday he stepped with wife Blake in New York City to attend close pal Hugh Jackman’s play, called Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Class.

At one point, the two stars of Deadpool & Wolverine exchanged a friendly hug. Fans were quick to point out Ryan’s overdone spray tan during the festivities as they commented on photos shared by gossip site DeuxMoi.

One person questioned, ‘Why is Ryan so orange?’ and another typed out, ‘Ten layers of spray tan on the back of that neck.’

‘Looks like his neck had been daubed with iodine pre-surgery!’ someone else noted, while another wrote, ‘Petition to stop Ryan’s spray tans.’

Another critic compared the star’s tan to a Friends episode in which Ross Geller was overly bronzed.

Media personality @stephwithdadeets said, ‘Maybe he thought, hey everyone loves Ross, he was so funny, so maybe if I channel that, people will love me again.’ 

Blake and Ryan put on a brave face as they stepped out together this week following yet another bombshell amid their lawsuit with Justin Baldoni.

Marvel asked the court last week to be removed from the lawsuit and to ‘quash the subpoena’ over the Nicepool character in Deadpool & Wolverine — which Baldoni previously claimed was ‘bullying.’ 

It also comes after Reynolds unveiled his newly dyed hair as he ditched his graying locks while attending the Time100 Gala in New York City.

He’s become the latest member of the ‘midlife crisis’ hair dye club with other stars such as Ben Affleck and George Clooney.

Ryan had previously begun embracing his silver hair years earlier, sporting the color nearly 10 years ago during a 2016 outing in London. 

He supported his wife at the NYC premiere of her new movie Another Simple Favor last weekend. 

The couple cozied up together on the red carpet, and the actress was also accompanied by sister Lori, mother Willie Elain McAlpin, other sister Robyn, her husband Bart Johnson, and their daughter Isabela Ferrer.
