Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds not only announced his new series, Bedtime Stories With Ryan, on Instagram, but also subtly shouted out his fourth baby, who he says inspired the show.

The series announcement included a quirky video of Reynolds dressed in light brown and white chequered pyjamas. In the video, the actor, 46, prepared to read to a pair of animatronic sheep as he explained through a voiceover: “You know the best part about stories? You remember them. They stay with you. And I want to tell you a bedtime story.”
