Ryan Reynolds has praised his wife Blake Lively, insisting she was a "mercenary" when she gave birth to their daughter James.
The "Deadpool" star - who welcomed the little girl, James, in December with the "Gossip Girl" actress - said she was "cracking jokes" throughout the birth, reported People magazine.
"My wife is the real, I mean she is a mercenary. At one point in the middle of the delivery, the doctor's cell phone went off and she said, 'Oh, no. Go ahead, take a personal call. Feel free.' She was cracking jokes in the delivery room. She may have been on drugs, but I don't ask personal questions.
"I was just a terrible coach. There was a lot of clapping. I went for a couple of high fives, but she did not," he said.
