"My oldest brother is adopted and I have every intention of adopting at some time," Reynolds, 32, tells British Glamour in its new issue. "I'm very grateful for having my brother in my life. I couldn't be more pro-adoption. There are plenty of kids in the world that need it."

Reynolds - who currently headlines the Sandra Bullock romantic comedy The Proposal - also reflects on his own family life, growing up in Vancouver.
"I learned how to take a punch from a very early age," says the star, who is now known for his chiseled abs. "I was routinely pummeled into a fine cottage cheese."

As for his good looks (and brains), Reynolds thanks his parents.
"I have my father's face and body, but my mother's unshakeable thirst for knowledge," he says. "She works part-time jobs, but basically she's been a student her whole life. She still goes to university and she's in her 60s."
Cab you guess whose mom this is?
Reynolds wed Johansson, 24, in an intimate ceremony at a Canadian wilderness retreat last year.
Look back at Scarlett Johansson's fashion hits - and misses!
In the February issue of Harper's Bazaar, the actress said she and Reynolds have no plans to start a family just yet.
Said Johansson (now shooting Iron Man 2), "I'm not pregnant nor will I be any time soon."

nancy sKinda weird that they don't mention having their own- I wonder if she gave him an STD on their wedding night so they CAN'T have their own! He's probably willing to overlook his whore of a wife giving him an STD- so long as he can f*** her and her fake t*ts every night!!! Its amazing what guys in their 30s will risk to f*** a girl in her 20s just because she's youngreport abuseposted July 20, 2009 8:16 AM PDT

nancy sWhy doesn't he want to have kids of his own - he and Scarlett are young and beautiful! Adoption is a wonderful thing- but I hope they will give it some time before deciding- they've been married less than a year! I find it interesting that Scarlett has nothing to say on the matter.If they do adopt, I hope the child is from the States or Canada.Kinda weird that they dont mention havreport abuseposted July 20, 2009 8:13 AM PDT
