Ryan Reynolds is back at it again with the incessant trolling, this time targeting his daughter James for being "insufferable" ever since featuring on Taylor Swift's Reputation track 'Gorgeous'.

Will this man ever take a day off? After taking every opportunity to make hilarious digs at his wife Blake Lively (and say the occasional sweet thing about their marriage, to be fair), he's now turned his attention to his 3-year-old eldest daughter.

The subject for his trolling was a song on Taylor's new album 'Gorgeous', which features a child's voice at the beginning giggling and then saying (yep, you guessed it!): "Gorgeous."

Asked by George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America about his daughter lending her vocal talents to Taylor, Ryan joked: "My daughter has a really, really terrible ego problem now after that song. Oh she's insufferable.

"Yeah, she's in a Taylor Swift song. I don't know if she knows she's in a Taylor Swift song. A little intro there, yeah, um... That was a voice memo that ended up on a song."

Speaking of whether he'd encouraged his children to go into the entertainment industry, Ryan added: "No, mostly because I'm against child abuse. Showbusiness for a little kid – that's a crazy pursuit.

What to Read Next

"Acting is great – you, theatre, school, [that's] amazing, but I don't know why you would want to put your kid in showbusiness."

While he's not against trolling his children all together, maybe he has a bit of sense when it comes to them being child stars.
