Ryan Reynolds Still in "a Lot of Pain" From Scarlett Split

After Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson split in December, she famously rebounded in late January with Sean Penn. Her ex-husband, however, still needs time to heal.
"Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain, but you come out of it," the Green Lantern actor, 34, tells the new issue of Details mag.

"I'm not out of it yet. At all," he admits, but notes he still has "optimism" for the future.
One thing that future might not hold is another marriage. "I don't think I want to get married again," muses the hunk, whose previous exes include one-time fiancee Alanis Morissette. "But you always reevaluate these things."
"Any kind of crisis can be good," he muses of his sad split. "It wakes you up. I gotta say, I'm a different person than I was six months ago."

And although Reynolds was spotted getting friendly with stunning German model Agnes Fischer while shooting his flick Safe House in South Africa earlier this year, he claims he's not ready to start dating again.
"I'm very happy not to be in a relationship right now," he says. "That's okay. I didn't plan on it, that's for sure . . . but that's okay."
Dating "just seems so kind of alien to me at this point," he explains. "I've been in relationships pretty much since high school. Some people look at that as a good thing. I think wiser people might see that as a house of cards."

Although he refuses to get into specifics about Johansson, he praises how they ended their nearly two-year marriage: "Departing a relationship and still maintaining the idea that this is still the same person I married is a great luxury that I experienced. Thankfully I was in a relationship where two people chose to remain on the high road in every regard."
For now, he's relishing his work in Safe House -- which demands death-defying stunts and intense emotional scenes. "I cried 26 times yesterday," he boasts to the mag.

Gushes his longtime pal Sandra Bullock (also nursing wounds from a messy divorce): "As his friend, any dark secrets that I may or may not know are forever safe with me. Unless he doesn't do something I want him to do, like babysitting," jokes the mom to Louis, nearly one and a half.

I always liked RR when he had that TV Show, he was funny! I think he really loved her but I think she used him though. I hope he finds someone who will be there for him no matter what.
I know he will find someone he can open up and trust his heart to love again. He is not rushing into anything; I think he is focusing on his career. Working seems therapeutic for him and I am confident when that person shows up in his life we will be reading about his wife and their first child.
love takes time to achieve n forget babys.... made this up in high school, it's been helping me out ever since.
who would want to split with that hot man?!!! I just loved HIM in the movie w/Sandra Bullock... He was HOT HOT HOT
@ Courtney I apoligize Special need or not your right to have your opinion and if you think that all or any marriages that happend on the death of an actor are doomed, well then you're right it's your opinion.
@lovelylife no I'm not that's just my oppinion and Newman happens to be my favorite actor of all time. quit picking on somebody that has special needs and try to put yourself in my shoes
He seems like "a real person," not some Hollywood phony. I like that. And Catherine, I hope the future holds good things for you. You deserve them.
@ Courtney Puzzo your a nut!
its clear to see that scarlett didnt love him as much as he loved her
God he's beautiful...
God he's beautiful...
no he's not in a lot of pain over the split he's saying that for sympathy. the fact that he & Scarlett got married on September 26th 2008 didn't bode well for the marriage as it's the same day Paul Newman died
I can totally relate. I was with my ex-husband since high school and all of a sudden he wants out. I was left, still in love with him and moved on with no problem. One year later, I'm still not ready to date. Okay with being single for now. Not sure if I'll get married again but like Ryan said, I'm sure I'll reevaluate this matter sometime in the future.
aww
he's so hot!
