Ryan Reynolds 'avoids own fansites'

Ryan Reynolds has revealed that he stopped reading his own fansites after coming across galleries that contained disturbing pictures of him.

The X-Men Origins: Wolverine actor admitted that he used to get carried away looking at sites dedicated to his career, but has now been put off, Contactmusic reports.

He explained: "I have [read about myself online] before. It's a horrible thing to do. It's been a great equaliser because the last time I did, I found a couple of websites that are real.

"One was 'Make Ryan Reynolds Your Biatch'. I didn't get into it too much because I know there are going to be photoshopped pictures of me with a ball gag and nipple clamps."
