Halloween is the best time of the year to take a day off being yourself and be someone (or something) else. Many people opt to take inspiration from their favorite movie and TV characters, including Hollywood actors. Unfortunately for actors this year, SAG-AFTRA has just issued guidelines regarding All Hallows’ Eve costumes, and it limits who they can dress up as while the union continues to picket studios. So obviously Ryan Reynolds had a clever take on the news.

The SAG-AFTRA strike may be the reason tons of actors are going to return their Halloween costumes or simply wear them in private following its new rules for Halloween. As the SAG-AFTRA website shared, if actors dress up in costumes inspired by things like the "Barbie" movie or Marvel characters, they’ll be breaking strike rules.
