The 'Deadpool' actor has revealed his beloved wife, who has her own lifestyle website stashed full of her baking recipes, encouraged him to hide the sweet-tasting dessert as they went through security to board their flight to the US.

Speaking on 'The Graham Norton Show', which is set to air in the UK tonight (29.01.16), he explained: "My wife is a foodie and loves these apple pies they make in Vancouver where I grew up so we grabbed a bunch of them and we were heading back down to the States and across the border."

The 28-year-old actress even made her handsome spouse, 39, with whom she has 13-month-old daughter James, practice his "poker face" beforehand.

Ryan said: "The guard knew something was going on as I've the worst poker face ever and he had me on a hook.

"He said, 'You remember you did that movie 'Just Friends' and at the end you sang I Swear?' I said, "Yes," and he said, 'Go ahead.' He was saying dance monkey and I danced! I sang that thing in the best falsetto I had and I was on my way through the border eating pie by the next stop."

Fruits and vegetables are prohibited on entry to the US, and travellers are expected to declare banned items or risk being slapped with fines of up to $10,000.
