The mag asked Ryan to name his heroes and he said, “Well, Eva, obviously. And my uncle Bill. When I was in school, he said, ‘I’m gonna put all your achievements in a scrapbook.’ I didn’t want the scrapbook to stay empty. Uncle Bill believed in me at a time when I didn’t really believe in myself.”

Ryan was asked about the meal he likes to cook for his family. He answered, “I make a Moroccan chicken bastilla I’m not mad at.”

If you didn’t know, Ryan is currently promoting his movie The Fall Guy, in which he plays a stuntman on a movie set. He talked about how far he’ll let himself go before he has a stunt actor take over for him on sets.

“I just tend to go deathbed with everything. I often think about what’s going to matter to me on my deathbed, that I did and that I didn’t do. It puts things into perspective. It always comes back to family first. I don’t think I’ll regret anything professionally, but I do think when it comes to Eva and the girls, they come first. I don’t know, it’s probably not a good thing that I go deathbed, but it’s helpful for me. Anytime I’m struggling, I just think about whether it’s going to matter to me then because, yeah, this whole thing can be distorting,” he said.
