Ryan Reynolds gets active on social media

Actor Ryan Reynolds has joined social media platforms Facebook and Instagram, six months after he launched his own Twitter account.

The 38-year-old, who joined Twitter in November last year, has now set up official accounts on the other two social networking sites, joking he is "fashionably 12 years late" in creating a Facebook page, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

In his first post on the account, which has already racked up more than 670,000 fans, Reynolds posted a photograph of himself as a teenager on the set of teen drama "Fifteen", alongside which he wrote: "Nice to be on Facebook. It's always good to be fashionably 12 years late."

The "Green Lantern" star, who has a four-month-old daughter James with his wife Blake Lively, has also shared his first image on his Instagram account.

Posting a still from his new Marvel film "Deadpool", in which he is in mid-air, he wrote: "Stuck the landing. With my mouth."
