Ryan Reynolds Hilariously Compares Budapest to Hawaii in Central Europe
Ryan Reynolds, the renowned actor known for his role in Deadpool, has been spending the last few weeks in Hungary filming his upcoming action movie, Mayday. The film, set in the Cold War era, is currently in post-production and has already generated a buzz among fans and industry insiders.
Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the movie also stars Kenneth Branagh and Maria Bakalova in key roles. The production has taken Reynolds and his family to various locations, including Montreal, San Diego, and now Budapest, where the final leg of filming is underway.
During his time in Budapest, Reynolds has been charmed by the city’s beauty and warmth, even going as far as jokingly referring to it as “the Hawaii of Central Europe.” In a playful Instagram post, he posed for a selfie in front of the Museum of Fine Arts, capturing the essence of his experience in the Hungarian capital.
However, not everyone got Reynolds’ humorous take on Budapest. Balázs Orbán, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s political director, seemed to take the comparison to Hawaii quite literally, welcoming the actor to the heart and “Hawaii of Central Europe” on Twitter.
Reynolds is not the only Hollywood star who has fallen in love with Hungary during filming. With the country’s booming film industry attracting big names like Mark Ruffalo, Austin Butler, and Christopher Walken, Budapest has become a favorite location for international productions seeking top-notch talent and stunning settings.
As Reynolds wraps up filming in Budapest, fans eagerly await the release of Mayday and the chance to see the actor’s latest work on the big screen. With his charisma and sense of humor, it’s no surprise that he has left a lasting impression on the Hungarian film industry and its audiences.
