The 'Deadpool' star and his wife Blake Lively - whose second daughter, Ines, was born in September 2016 - visited the world-famous amusement park in Anaheim, California, without their eldest daughter in December, even though James is a huge fan of Mickey Mouse.

He quipped on Twitter: "Went to Disneyland because my daughter's obsessed with Mickey Mouse. She was so excited when I got home and told her."

The tweet comes shortly after Ryan, 40, admitted his glamorous wife helped to ensure he remained "sane" amid the excitement that surrounded the release of 'Deadpool' in 2016.

The Hollywood hunk played the central role in the critically-acclaimed comic book movie and he recently thanked Blake for her support throughout the process.

He shared: "By the time we were in post, we'd been to Comic-Con, and people went crazy for it. The expectations were eating me alive ... Blake helped me through that. I'm lucky to have her around just to keep me sane."

Ryan married Blake in 2012 and previously said he has a "functioning family" now that he has two children.

He explained: "They look alike. You can see that she's sort of a little mini version of our older girl. But, no, it's great.

"It's like an actually cohesive, working, functioning family. It's amazing to see my older daughter taking care of my younger one. 'The Lion King' was right! The circle of life exists ...

"It didn't change the dynamic. There's just more. There's more love, there's more diapers. There's more of all that stuff, you know."

Ryan also admitted fatherhood was "the best thing" to ever happen to him.

He said: "You know, it's the best thing that could ever happen to you. It's really hard to have boundaries because you just do anything they say. Like, anything they'll say!"
