What does Terry Reynolds do? Ryan Reynolds and his older brother share impromptu reunion in NYC donning matching Wrexham caps
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: Ryan Reynolds experienced an impromptu family reunion in Manhattan on October 24 when he unexpectedly crossed paths with his older brother, Terry Reynolds, who serves as a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Mountie).
Adding to the coincidence, the Canadian siblings were both adorned in identical £25 ($30) baseball caps featuring the embroidered seal of the Welsh professional soccer team Wrexham AFC.

Is Ryan Reynolds the youngest of his siblings?
Ryan Reynolds is the youngest among his brothers, Jeff, Terry, and Patrick.
Terry, known for his passion as an avid beekeeper, was initially thought to have pursued a career following James' footsteps as a British Columbia Mountie.
However, a glance at his current Instagram bio reveals a different focus, listing the companies of his younger brother, including Aviation Gin and Wrexham AFC.
In light of the recent crossing paths of the brothers, Terry took to his Instagram account, writing, "I’m not sure what the odds are of running into your own brother while doing separate things in NY for the day. 8.5 million people and we practically collided."
In a heartwarming touch, the mother of the Reynolds brothers affectionately commented, "They'll always be my little boys!"
Ryan shared the same snapshot on his Instagram story, expressing his amazement, "8.5 million people in NYC. Ran smack into my brother out of nowhere. He was even wearing his Ryan Reynolds costume. WTF!".
Who are Ryan Reynolds' parents?
Ryan Reynolds and his brothers are the sons of Tammy and the late James "Jim" Chester Reynolds.
Reynolds' mother, Tamara Lee (nee Stewart), worked in retail sales, while their father, James Chester Reynolds, died at the age of 74 in 2015 after a battle with Parkinson's disease.
In another sibling-relationship note, in 2020, Ryan Reynolds shared insights into his upbringing, particularly being the youngest of four brothers, during an interview with SiriusXM EW Radio.
He explained, "You sort of cultivate all these other aspects, survival aspects, that you wouldn't normally cultivate, you know, being the oldest."
Reflecting on his childhood dynamics, Reynolds continued, "As a kid, I was the youngest of four boys. I wasn’t considered a younger brother, I was considered a moving target."
"The way I stayed alive was with my mouth because I'm not going to win with my fists. I felt like I was sort of rehearsing for Deadpool from the get-go," he quipped.
