Ryan Reynolds betrayed by lifelong friendLos Angeles, Sep 22 (AZINS) Actor Ryan Reynolds says he was betrayed by a lifelong friend who “had been shopping pictures” of his daughter James.

“A guy that I'd known for my whole life, one of my closest friends growing up, he had been shopping pictures of my baby around,” Reynolds told GQ magazine in its October issue, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"I kind of got in front of it, which is good. But it was a slightly dark period. A bad couple of weeks. Somebody I grew up with, yeah. Somebody I've known, who's been one of my closest friends, for 25 years,” he added.

The 38-year-old says he and his friend had "a pretty strongly worded conversation" afterwards.

"I mean, I don't think he thought he would ever be caught. But it's a pretty narrow group of people that I would send photos like that to. They're just, like, my closest family and my closest friends", he said.
