Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson are set to adopt.
The ’Proposal’ actor - who married the ’Lost In Translation star last September - dreams of giving a home to a disadvantaged child because of his own upbringing with an adopted sibling.
He revealed: "My oldest brother is adopted and I have every intention of adopting at some time. I’m very grateful for having my brother in my life. I couldn’t be more pro-adoption. There are plenty of kids in the world that need it."
Although Ryan is now very close to his three brothers, he admits they didn’t always get on as youngsters.
He added to Britain’s Glamour magazine: "I learnt how to take a punch from a very early age. I was routinely pummelled into a fine cottage cheese."
The 32-year-old star also enjoys a close relationship with his parents and says he shares a lot of their traits.
He explained: "I have my father’s face and body, but my mother’s unshakeable thirst for knowledge. She works part-time jobs but basically she’s been a student her whole life. She still goes to university and she’s in her 60s."

Scarlett Johansson recently told Entertainment Weekly that she and her new husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, don’t discuss their careers when they’re chilling at home.
Johansson and Reynolds married in a private ceremony last fall, and they believe that by not bringing work home and chatting about movie making, they allow each other to simply be themselves. Said Reynolds, “We don’t have a lot of work talk around the house. We both prefer to just be ourselves at home. There’s no competition between us - we just don’t talk about it.”

A statement released by a British television network proclaiming that Scarlett Johansson would feature in a new reality tv show is a “complete fabrication”, her rep said Tuesday (June 23).
Fearne Cotton is the host of the new show called Fearne and…, which will follow four starlets as they go about their day-to-day lives.
“I came up with the idea for this show because of my love of autobiographies,” Cotton says. “The whole lifestyle behind the public image is fascinating. I love piecing together the jigsaw puzzle of what lies beneath the surface.”
“The series will be a real chance to peel back the layers of certain celebrities’ lives.”
Marcel Pariseau, Johansson’s rep denies the actresses involvement saying, “We have never been approached about the Fearne Cotton show and Scarlett would never participate in this sort of show. Scarlett is a very private person. It’s a complete fabrication.”
