About the only thing Deadpool didn't kill in his X-Men spinoff was a horse. That Ryan Reynolds guy, not so lucky.
Promoting his record-breaking blockbuster on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Reynolds shared a very personal story (too personal?) about once encountering a dead horse on a bike ride.
"There was this God-awful stench [when I went to pee in the wilderness]," he recalled. "I jumped down into this little ravine and I realised as soon as I jumped in there, I jumped into a dead horse like up to my knees."
Unfortunately, he continued the awful anecdote: "I didn't even want to get rid of my pants. I wanted to go to a hospital and have my legs cut off... I didn't pee!
"You just suck it up and you step out. That changes you."
Yuck. Thankfully, Ryan moved on to lighter subject matter when James Corden asked him if he worked out "like a British person" while shooting Deadpool.

"For the movie, I tried to train like one-tenth of what Hugh Jackman does," the actor joked.
Also on The Late Late Show, James Corden offered up some potential sidekicks for the Deadpool sequel… and it did not go well.
