The joke feud began when Reynolds's wife Blake Lively posted on Instagram, external about a new movie the two were starring in and called Kendrick "the hotter, femaler version of my husband".

Responding at San Diego Comic Con last month, Reynolds said of Kendrick running off with his wife: "I know a lot of guys that would be fine with that, but not me.

"I would like to hang on to her, I mean, she'd be well taken care of with Anna, though. I think she's got the goods, yeah, but no, access denied."
