Ryan Reynolds is an aspiring prankster. In an exclusive behind-the-scenes video taken from his photo shoot for Men's Health magazine, the "Deadpool" actor reveals the greatest prank he's ever pulled, and his dedication to the prank will definitely amaze you. "A friend of mine left town for a week. When he was gone, I painted his entire office puce," Ryan shares.

According to the actor, "puce" is "a strange color, because it's kind of like this muddy, ugly sort of red." Of course, the wall wasn't the only thing that Ryan painted in the office, because it would be too boring. "But we didn't just paint his office that color--we painted everything in his entire office that color," he adds. "The inside of his desk, every pencil, every pen--everything."

Ryan may now tone down his prankster image because of fatherhood, but it certainly doesn't stop him from cursing and making jokes online. "I love good compound swear words," he says during an interview with the magazine. " 'This party's s**tty' isn't nearly as effective as 'This party's a total s**t symphony.' That gives it a little jushe."

"I've certainly said things online where I've thought, 'oh, boy.' I'm fortunate that there's some precedent for me acting like a jacka**. If I were somebody like, I dunno, Condoleezza Rice, it might be a bit different," he continues. "But you have to set precedents at some point. The Internet is so hostile, so many people have so many opinions, I have no problem sounding like a hot bag of ignorant s**t if it's going to make people laugh a little bit."
