If you’ve dealt with the particleboard that passes as ready-to-assemble furniture from IKEA, you will understand Ryan Reynolds’ agony in this video. Now, this isn’t his baby’s crib. Blake Lively would never let her husband cart IKEA furniture into their artisanal, antebellum, alliteration-filled home. You know, the home that is filled with vintage typewriters and motorcycles. This is a video filmed for GQ, where Reynolds tries to cope with the assembly process before calling in support line experts:
“There’s no problem with it. I think the biggest issue I’m having right now is that the crib didn’t come assembled. There’s an enormous amount of hardware that’s come with this unit, and I’m having a real hard time putting this thing together … [F*ck you!] … Besides a slow descent into alcoholism, I’m just really having trouble finding all the screws and the pieces that go with it. There’s gotta be over 100,000 pieces that came with it. I’m just wondering if there’s a representative or five that can come by and make it happen for me … [F*ck!] And a good day to you too.”
Reynolds eventually solves his problem with the best solution ever. See? He learned his lesson after the Internet teased him for holding his baby the wrong way. Reynolds also revealed to GQ how he ditched a lifelong friend who shopped a private Reynolds-Lively family image to the press. Reynolds said the bad news was “like a death.”
