Walker Scobell Constantly Tried to Scare His 'The Adam Project' Co-Star Ryan Reynolds

Ellen welcomed Walker Scobell, the 13-year-old breakout star of “The Adam Project." He made his acting debut playing Ryan Reynolds' younger self, and explained that he was nervous around Ryan at first, but then warmed up to him enough to scare him constantly on set. The young actor also talked about how he lost a few teeth while filming the movie.

The moment you realize Walker knew he was going to play Percy Jackson during this interview and managed to completely keep his cool.

Seriously 😶

Yeah

[@drsone2651]

He obviously was nervous in this one I saw him in another interview and he actually was so funny especially reciting the deadpool scenes word by word Update : he is the new Percy Jackson !

[@Jenneration95x]

He was with his castmates during that interview so I guess that allowed him to ease his nerves a little bit since he wasn't the only person there as compared to this Ellen interview haha Like the attention wasn't all on him when he's with his cast mates

[@JohnDoe-rp8sr]

Ellen’s face is hideously intimidating, so it figures.

[@lauramorales4702]

I honestly had no idea the kid is actually so shy. I said to myself while watching how perfect this kid is at being so much like Ryan that it was uncanny. Either way, spot on kiddo!! You did a great job.

[@leap352]

Ryan said he’s an introvert and seeing that walker kinda is just makes them more alike 😭

[@pennywise696]

nah i just think that he was trying not to let slip the fact that he was gonna play percy jackson

[@cngotham4111]

I think most kids would be shy in this environment yet he still holds his own and cracks jokes. He does in other interviews as well .

[@fshhbsdn1434]

Yes I watch one Ryan Reynolds interview,he said Walker quite shy in real life,so it's amazing he can play Adam Reed really well
