Ryan Reynolds finally explains his death stare at Taylor Swift’s fourth of July party.

We all know what resting b*tch face is, and some lucky (or not so lucky) people out there have resting nice face. But Ryan Reynolds claims he has a resting face of a different kind.

The revelation came when Entertainment Weekly asked Reynolds about a certain photo taken at Taylor Swift's fourth of July weekend away.

While everyone else in the snap looks happy and loved-up, the 40-year-old expression appeared to be a mixture of boredom and depression, resulting in the impression that he did not want to be there.

Fans noticed what appeared to be potentially a cry for help from Reynolds, with many memes and funny tweets created using his face.

Now, the actor has told the magazine there was a simple explanation: he has a 'resting sad face'.

"No, that's a problem I've had all my life," the father-of-two responded to suggestions he was upset.

"If I'm not aware a photo is being taken, my natural resting face is one of a man dying.

"I had no idea somebody was taking a photo. Therefore, I was resting comfortably in my persona of a man whose soul is visibly exiting this earth."

Well, there you have it.
