Vancouver’s own Ryan Reynolds is getting his own star on Hollywood’s iconic Walk of Fame, according to reports out of Tinseltown this morning.

The actor, who is originally from Vancouver, will be honoured in a special ceremony this morning where he will be joined by actress Anna Faris, alongside Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote the script for Reynolds’ hugely successful adaptation of the Marvel comic character Deadpool.
