Ryan Reynolds pursued Bill Murray relentlessly for a documentary about comedian John Candy. The Deadpool actor left dozens of voicemail messages before obtaining Murray's phone number through mutual contacts. Reynolds attended a formal event with wife Blake Lively when Murray finally called back. Lively urged her husband to enter the venue, but Reynolds used profanity and answered the phone instead.
Murray initially promised to consider the project participation. Reynolds continued his campaign with additional messages and eventually recorded a video featuring his children. The strategy worked when Murray quickly returned the call and agreed to contribute to the John Candy documentary. The couple shares four children together.
