The Sexiest Man Alive 2010 told the mag of fatherhood: 'I don’t have to prepare to be wrapped around my daughter’s finger. I have been wrapped around her little finger since the day she plopped out into this world...I never admitted it out loud, to myself or my wife, but I really wanted a little girl. It’s the best.' 

Ryan later in the show played a game of Musical Beers with fellow guest Katie Holmes. 

The action movie star was the first player eliminated after Katie aggressively yanked a cup of beer from his hands.

Katie finished in second place despite leaping across a round table in her little black dress for the last cup.

Katie was on the show promoting her upcoming movie Touched With Fire about two bipolar poets who meet in a mental hospital and fall in love. 

Ryan meanwhile was touting his new movie Deadpool due out in US cinemas on Friday. 

The actor discussed the Deadpool test footage that was leaked 'accidentally onto the Internet' in 2014 and how the ensuing fan frenzy helped Fox greenlight the movie.

'I know that one of us did it,' Ryan said of the test footage leak as he implicated either himself, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick or director Tim Miller.

'I'm 75 percent sure that it wasn't me,' he said with a sly smile.

It was also reported on Tuesday that a sequel for Deadpool already has been approved and a script is in the works.
