Ryan Reynolds Drops A Joke About Sex With Wife Blake Lively While Accepting MTV Movie Award

Ryan Reynolds had the audience in splits when he walked up to the stage to take his trophy for Best Comedic Performance in his hit movie "Deadpool," on Saturday night's MTV Movie Awards.

A group of dancers attired as Deadpool characters danced to Salt-N-Pepa's song "Shoop" along with Zac Effron and Seth Rogen, who gave Reynolds his award.

"I'm really glad Amy Schumer didn't win, that would be really weird with those dances," Reynolds told the audience. "I have been trying to get 'Deadpool' made for over a decade and I failed and it's you the fans that got this made. The reason I'm standing up here is because of you guys, and we had a blast working on this movie, but it wasn't all unicorns and cocaine."

"I'd like to thank Twentieth Century Fox, the 'Deadpool' team, the entire crew up in Vancouver," he continued. "I want to thank my wife---everything I do is to make her laugh, especially the sex. Thank you."

Reynolds had married Lovely in 2012 after meeting in his first superhero film "The Green Lantern," which had collapsed in the box office, but brought the couple together. They have a one-year-old daughter, James.

He also received the MTV Movie Award for Best Fight alongside his co-star Ed Skrein.

For 10 years, "Deadpool" was in development and finally became a hit with the public as well as critics. It broke expectations when the R-rated superhero film made more than $130 million in the opening weekend. This was twice as much as they anticipated.

"It's a romance wrapped in revenge, action and comedy," the 39-year-old actor previously said during an interview about the foul-mouthed superhero. "Deadpool is a mercenary. The movie takes this turn where he's obviously kind of hyper-funny, hyper-violent, but very meta. That's what makes Deadpool distinct."

The MTV Movie Awards ceremony airs on MTV Sunday night at 8/7c.
