Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have found themselves at the center of a heated social media debate after the "Deadpool" actor said he and his wife came from a "working class" background.
Fans didn't like his comments as some consider Lively a "nepo baby," having come from a family of entertainers and making her on-screen debut at age 10.
Ryan Reynolds also weighed in on the election and if he had plans to flee the U.S. over Trump's victory.
The "Deadpool vs. Wolverine" actor made the quip in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, during which he discussed parenting his four children with the "Gossip Girl" star.
He noted that they try to give their children, James, Inez, Betty, and Olin, a regular upbringing away from the spotlight while maintaining their high-profile careers.
"We try to give them as normal a life as possible. I try not to impose upon them the difference in their childhood to my childhood or my wife's childhood," Reynolds said.
He continued, "We both grew up very working class, and I remember when they were very young, I used to say or think, like, 'Oh God, I would never have had a gift like this when I was a kid,' or, 'I never would've had this luxury of getting takeout,' or whatever."
Several fans quickly took offense to Reynolds's "tone deaf" comment, referencing Lively's Hollywood veteran parents and her opulent upbringing in the Tarzana neighborhood of Los Angeles.
"What does 'working class' even mean these days? Is it supposed to be a polite way of saying poor?" an X user quizzed.
Another user said, "Reynolds may have come from modest means, but lively definitely isn't... She has been acting as a child. There was a silver spoon down her throat all along."
"Quick search: She grew up in Tarzana and then went to Burbank High. Her whole family was in the entertainment business," one Instagram user penned. "She was cast in Sisterhood for the Traveling Pants while she was a teen. It's giving at least middle class. Anyway, none of that matters bc she's rich and insufferable now. Bye."
Another added, "You keep using that word, 'working class.' I do not think it means what you think it means."
Lively tends to be considered a privileged child by fans as she comes from a family of Hollywood entertainers. Her late father, Ernie Lively, was an actor and director, and her mother, Elaine Lively, was an actress and a talent manager.
The "It Ends With Us" actress had previously discussed growing up on set and made her acting debut at age 10 in "Sandman," a film directed by her father.
She also had siblings who worked in entertainment. Her older brother, Eric, had a talent agency that helped her secure several auditions at a time, which landed her a role in the iconic 2005 film "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" at just 16 years old.
Back in 2006, Lively told Radio Free Entertainment in an interview that she didn't have much of a choice when it came to entering show business.
"The day I was born, when I came home from the hospital, I literally didn't go to my house. I went to my sister's set," she said, per the Daily Mail. "I've grown up on sets, my mum is a manager and always has kids come in for coaching, my family's always going over lines for an audition, I'm always stealing craft service."
"So it was so much a part of my life that I never felt a desire for it. And it seemed like such a nightmare. That [was] the last thing in the world I want to do," she admitted.
