Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds is not just a superhero, he is now officially the sexiest dad alive, according to People magazine.
Ryan has a one-year-old daughter James with wife Blake Lively and his new title was announced on American chat show the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.

The glamorous couple welcomed their baby in December 2014 but have kept her out of the spotlight.
Ryan will next be seen on screen in Marvel movie Deadpool, in which he plays a man with terminal cancer who enlists in a science programme that leaves him horribly disfigured but able to regenerate from most physical traumas.

The actor doesn’t shy away from flashing his manhood in the film, including in a fight scene with British actor Ed Skrein.
He told E News: “There should be more male nudity in movies. I’m just saying that because women are typically exploited in the worst ways… so I feel like you got to kind of even it out a little bit.
“Although, yeah, I don’t know. Maybe we should limit all of it just a little bit.”
Deadpool hits UK cinemas on February 10.
