Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds made the unveiling of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday a family affair.

The Canadian-born actor turned out with his mother Tammy, his brothers, nephews and nieces as well as his wife, actress Blake Lively, and their two children.

“It’s a special moment that comes along only once in a lifetime, if you’re lucky. I would have been sad to have missed it without them,” Reynolds said.

This year has been a good year for the 40-year-old Reynolds. His superhero film, Deadpool became an unexpected hit and he was named best actor in a comedy for his role in the film and Entertainer of the Year at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards.
