Ryan Reynolds and his Deadpool 3 director and fellow Canadian Shawn Levy, 55, were spotted together in New York City this week.
The Adam Project star, 47, wore a bright pink sweater and dark pants with sunglasses.
Levy was more bundled up for the fall weather in a pair of jeans, a coat that covered him to his knees and a scarf.
The two men have been spotted together frequently, including a recent visit to Bradley Cooper’s house.
They were joined by Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively, 36, Hugh Jackman, 55, and Taylor Swift, 33.

Reynolds, Levy and Jackman are all besties and the Wolverine star is the catalyst behind the A-List bromance.
‘It’s all thanks to Hugh,’ Levy told People, adding that he met the Australian actor in 2011 when he directed him in the film Real Steel.
‘He predicted this 11 years ago. I vividly remember him saying, “I’m friends with this guy Ryan Reynolds, and if you ever meet, you guys are going to never stop working together again.”‘
And that has proven to be true as the two Canadians have teamed up for Deadpool 3, The Adam Project and Free Guy.
‘I haven’t made a truly close friend since college. Men don’t tend to make a lot of friends,’ he explained.
‘But Hugh and Ryan happen to be the two guys that I talk about real life s–t with. We get together as husbands and guys and dads. And now we get to work together, which has been an absolute blast.’
Not only are the three great friends, they are also neighbors. Levy and his wife moved to New York City after 20 years in Los Angeles because when they first met, he promised her they’d live in the Big Apple at some point.
‘Living within a few blocks of your friends is the greatest, whether it’s going for a walk along the Hudson, or doing a shared workout, where I watch them lift heavy things and then I lift way less heavy things. It’s a very nice friendship,’ he said.

And Levy has high praise for his friend Ryan.
‘Ryan is a fountain of creativity and a true marketing savant. He just has that superpower. So when he gets ideas, he’ll pitch them to me and to the studio,’ Levy told The Hollywood Reporter.
‘The thing that people don’t realize about Ryan is that he’s not one of these movie stars who hides behind a wall of agents and representatives. He picks up the call, and he makes the call.
‘He rolls up his sleeves and does the work to get shit done. And that’s very much how I do my job, which is another reason why we hit it off so instantly.’
The latest instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series was slated for release in May 2024.
However, according to Deadline, the film unlikely to make the May 3 release date as it was only halfway finished when production was halted in July due to the Screen Actors Guild walkout.
