Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively Criticized for Upbringing Comments

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have faced backlash after Reynolds described their upbringings as 'very working class' during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Critics argue that Lively, whose parents were involved in the entertainment industry, does not fit the working-class label, as she grew up in an affluent area of Los Angeles. Fans quickly took to social media to point out the discrepancies in their claims, highlighting Lively's family's Hollywood connections and her early success as an actress. Reynolds, while closer to a working-class background, also faced scrutiny for his comments, as many feel they are attempting to portray a relatable image that doesn't align with their privileged lifestyles. The couple, married since 2012 and parents to four children, seems to have ignited yet another controversy amidst their ongoing media presence. This incident echoes previous celebrity missteps, drawing parallels to similar comments made by David and Victoria Beckham regarding their own upbringings.
