Ryan Reynolds honored his mother, Tamara Lee, with a heartfelt and humorous tribute on her 80th birthday. The actor, best known for his role in Deadpool alongside Hugh Jackman, marked the milestone on Monday, December 2, by blending sentimentality with his trademark wit.

In a series of Instagram photos showcasing their cherished moments, Ryan jokingly referenced his playful rivalry with Jackman, saying, "Most importantly, Hugh Jackman loves you."

He humorously described a fictional scene inspired by E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, recounting how his mom "waddled out of the shed" one night and how they later "flew into the air" while she whispered "Elliot" in a quirky tone. The playful narrative concluded with her returning to her "spacecraft," despite him having seen her multiple times that day.

In his caption, Ryan affectionately wrote, "Happy Birthday, Mom. You are the best mom. We love you. Your grandbabies love you. Most importantly, Hugh Jackman loves you."

Tamara, lovingly called Tammy, is a doting grandmother to Ryan and Blake Lively's children—James, Inez, Betty, and their youngest, Olin, born in February 2023. Blake shares a strong bond with her mother-in-law and often praises her. In a lighthearted comment, Blake once revealed to OK Magazine that she’s "only with Ryan to be close to Tammy." She recounted how Tammy insisted Ryan take her to a taping of The View, joking about her mother-in-law’s endearing assertiveness.
