Ryan Reynolds is reportedly planning to adopt a child with his wife Scarlett Johansson.

The 32-year-old actor, who married Johansson in September last year, told how his brother is adopted and he can definitely see adoption in his future.

He said: “My oldest brother is adopted and I have every intention of adopting at some time. I’m very grateful for having my brother in my life. I couldn’t be more pro-adoption. There are plenty of kids in the world that need it.”

Meanwhile, Reynolds revealed that filming action sequences came easy to him as he was beaten up by his three brothers as a child.

He said: “I learnt how to take a punch from a very early age. I was routinely pummelled into a fine cottage cheese.”
