You might call 13-year-old Walker Scobell a Ryan Reynolds scholar, and not just because he plays a younger version of Reynolds' character in their new film, The Adam Project.

The newcomer actor would repeatedly watch Deadpool 2 before every audition to the point where he can now recite speeches from the foul-mouthed superhero smart aleck from memory. Reynolds first recorded Scobell on the set of The Adam Project doing just that and posted the footage online.
