Ryan jokes about being ‘sued’ by Taylor Swift
Ryan was in an interview with SiriusXM’s Town Hall, where he said there’s no bad blood between him and Taylor Swift after her cat photos were used in Deadpool 2. Photos of Swift’s cats, Meredith and Olivia, were used on a T-shirt worn by Ryan’s character Wade in the Deadpool sequel. He said, “Yeah, I had a T-shirt made. Yeah, I had a T-shirt made. [Swift’s cats] Meredith and Olivia on Wade’s shirt. Yeah, you know, just little details, that’s all,” as reported by People magazine.
When the radio jockey asked if Ryan had to get permission from Swift to use photos of her cats in the film, he nonchalantly replied, “No, I was sued. I lost everything in that.”
“And it’s very hard to get sued by a friend. Plus, he has a lot of very powerful lawyers. I found out later they’re just paralegals. Real lawyers don’t even bother,” he joked.
“I would never do that,” he added, referring to wearing that particular T-shirt without Swift’s permission.

All of us, the whole house, I’m not kidding. I love it so much. Me, Blake, my daughters. We love it so much. Obsessed.”
