Ryan Reynolds addresses rumours of hosting Oscars 2025

Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds is unlikely to host the Oscars 2025, but he is open to the possibility in the future. He opened up on the reports about him and Hugh Jackman as the choices for hosting the award ceremony.

“No, I don’t, historically speaking, that is a difficult job, you know. We’ve had people that have come before us that did it flawlessly, I think, and you’ve had people who are so talented and just based on what’s happening out there in the zeitgeist you’re like, ‘Oh, that was hard. It’s a very hard job’. It would be a dream to do it one day. I’ll say that,” said Reynolds.

In July, Jimmy Kimmel had declined to host the ceremony for the fifth time. Comedian John Mulaney also declined the gig.

In October, Reynolds and Jackman were in talks to host the ceremony. Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, and Dwayne Johnson had been approached as potential hosts. Jackman previously hosted the 81st Oscars back in 2009. He has also hosted the Tony Awards on four separate occasions.

Meanwhile, Ryan and Hugh shared screen space in Deadpool & Wolverine.
