During a discussion at the Toronto Film Festival on Friday, Ryan Reynolds recalled an incident where he upset fellow actor Denzel Washington while they were filming the 2012 action thriller Safe House.
Reynolds, 48, stated that while they were shooting the film’s closing scene and Washington’s character was passing away, his phone rang, Fox News reported.
“Who the f—’s phone is that?” Reynolds said in reference to Washington’s reaction at the time. “He’s been shot, wounded, dying, admits all the stuff that he did wrong. Tears start rolling down his face. And suddenly you hear — and this is take two, by the way, because take one there was a technical problem — we hear [Frank Sinatra singing] ‘Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away.'”

Reynolds was said to be using the Sinatra song as his ringtone during that period. Reynolds said he reacted as if he had no idea about what had occurred when Washington asked about the phone’s owner.
“I stand up and look at all the stuntmen around me, and I go, ‘Who the f—’s phone is that? Inexcusable!'” he recalled.
“[The assistant director] was like, ‘D, can you do another one?’ And [Washington] was like, ‘We’re going to have to, aren’t we?'” said Reynolds. “And I’m like, ‘Yes, [because of] the stuntmen! Inexcusable!'”
