Zayn Malik got a very special surprise on his 25th birthday: a personal message from movie mercenary Wade Wilson – aka Ryan Reynolds.
The former One Direction singer celebrated his milestone birthday on Jan. 12 and shared a clip of Reynolds, as his Deadpool character, on Instagram.
“Zayn, it's Wade. Don't hang up. Uh, I just want to wish you a very happy birthday, again. Uh, I also want to apologize for jumping out of the cake like that. I didn't realize it was the middle of the night, I had no idea I was in the middle of your bedroom,” said Reynolds.
"Uh… I want to thank your security, who were very, very gentle and creative with the taser. So anyway, happy birthday to you and Mr. Tim Horton. You share your birthday with a very special Canadian who is very near and dear to my heart. All right.”
Reynolds, a Vancouver native, reprises his role as wisecracking Wade Wilson for Deadpool 2, which comes out May 18.
