Ryan 'Deadpool' Reynolds trolls Josh Brolin on 50th birthday
The Merc with a Mouth wishes Cable from the "Deadpool" sequel a very Goonie birthday, Norman Rockwell-style.
- Co-author of two Gen X pop-culture encyclopedia for Penguin Books. Won "Headline Writer of the Year" award for 2017, 2014 and 2013 from the American Copy Editors Society. Won first place in headline writing from the 2013 Society for Features Journalism.
Have a very Goonie birthday, Josh Brolin.
The actor, who plays Cable in the "Deadpool" sequel and Thanos in "Avengers: Infinity War," turns 50 on Monday. Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, was not about to let such a milestone go unnoticed.
Reynolds posted an Instagram photo of his character painting a portrait of Brolin, but the painting reflects Brolin as he looked circa 1985, when he made his film debut in "The Goonies." Deadpool's mimicking the famed Norman Rockwell triple-self-portrait from 1960.
"Happy Birthday, Bright Eye," Reynolds snarked in the Instagram caption, joking about the character's one-eyed face. "You don't taste a day over 40."

The "Deadpool" sequel opens May 18 in the US and June 1 in the UK. No Australia release date has been listed yet.
