10 Movies That Forced Actors To Face Their Fears

10. Ryan Reynolds' Fear Of Flying (Green Lantern)

There are many reasons why Ryan Reynolds probably regrets doing Green Lantern, his misguided 2011 blockbuster based on the iconic DC hero.

The film was trounced by critics and it also bombed at the box-office, and has become such a laughing stock in the years since that Deadpool 2 even saw Reynolds joke about killing himself before he could sign on for the project.

Green Lantern wasn't a total waste of time though. Not only did Reynolds meet his future wife Blake Lively while shooting the film, but the experience of starring in a superhero epic also allowed the sharp-tongued Canadian to overcome one of his biggest fears: flying.

As Reynolds explained on the Today Show while promoting the film:

"I'm a little afraid to fly... I've always had problems with aeroplanes. In the film, I'm up on high wires all the time... we were flying all over the place, sometimes it's 60 feet per second... it was really interesting, and really terrifying at first."

Having a fear of flying, and yet signing up for a film where your character is a pilot who later gains the power of flight? That's a boss move right there.
