Went on a double date

– About a year after “Green Lantern” came and went, we were both single and went on a double date. Blake was on a date with another guy and I was on a date with another lady, he said, according to AND! News.
– And it was the smallest date for both parties because it was like fireworks between me and Blake, he continued.

The “Deadpool” star recently revealed that he will take a break from acting to focus on his family.
He shared this in a post on Instagram. Opposite The Hollywood Reporter he explained the reasons for the decision to withdraw.
