Ryan Reynolds was at yesterday’s taping of “The View,” but not as a guest of the show. About halfway through the episode, Whoopi Goldberg called out the actor for sitting in the crowd with his mother, Tammy Reynolds, for the show’s taping. “Sometimes you look up and you go, ‘Oh, this is really great.’ And then you look over and you go, ‘Oh snap, there’s Ryan Reynolds!’” she said, as Ryan waved from the crowd. When he was asked why he was just a regular member of the studio audience, Reynolds replied,

‘This is way less stressful than up there’,” before explaining, “My mom is here visiting her grandkids. And yesterday she said, ‘It’s my dream to go to ‘The View.’”
