Ryan Reynolds wished himself a happy birthday with a funny post on Instagram.

The Hollywood actor and star of films including Green Lantern and Deadpool celebrates turning 43 on Tuesday.

Alongside a childhood picture of himself and his late father, James, Reynolds wrote: “Happy Birthday to me. Or as Dad used to affectionately say, ‘the condom broke’.”

This is not the first time Reynolds’ birthday has led to a funny social media post.

For the Canadian actor’s 42nd birthday, his wife Blake Lively shared a picture of Reynolds with fellow star Ryan Gosling – cropping most of her husband’s face from the image.

She captioned the post: “Happy birthday baby.” Gossip Girl star Lively has yet to publicly wish her husband a happy birthday this year.
