The 48-year-old Deadpool star, who has been married to Blake since 2012, was recently a guest at a sporting event in Cannes, France.

As reported by Page Six, Ryan wanted to throw a bottle of water into the crowds to help the fans out amid the sizzling heat, but he suddenly stopped mid-motion.

"I'm not throwing this," he said. "I've been around lawyers.
You can walk up here and grab it."

The joke hit well with the crowd, but some fans are speculating whether it was also a subtle swipe at Justin Baldoni amid the court drama.

The case began when Blake accused her 41-year-old It Ends With Us co-star of sexual harassment and retaliation in a bombshell lawsuit.

Justin denied the claims and filed a countersuit against Blake and Ryan, accusing them of defamation and extortion, but that lawsuit was recently tossed by a federal judge.

The 37-year-old Gossip Girl alum's lawsuit against Justin is ongoing, though, with the latest update seeing the judge allow Justin's team access to Blake's private texts with superstar bestie Taylor Swift.
