Blake Lively has trolled her husband Ryan Reynolds once again after the Deadpool star revealed he was taking a "little sabbatical" from filmmaking.

Over the weekend, Reynolds shared with his 39.2 million Instagram followers that filming had come to an end on Spirit, his forthcoming Christmas Carol musical adaptation with Will Ferrell.

He wrote: "That’s a wrap for me on Spirited. Not sure I’d have been ready to say yes to a film this challenging even three years ago.

"Singing, dancing, and playing in the sandbox with Will Ferrell made a whole lotta dreams come true. And this is my second film with the great @octaviaspencer."

The actor continued: "Perfect time for a little sabbatical from movie making. I’m gonna miss every second working with this obscenely gifted group of creators and artists.

"These days, kindness matters as much as talent. I’ve been lucky to work with folks who are flush with both."

While many of the commenters proceeded to give Reynolds a pat on the back following his heartfelt words, his wife Lively simply quipped: "Michael Caine did it first."

What the Gossip Girl star was referring to here was the now-quashed rumor that the veteran actor from the UK had retired from acting.

Speculation that Caine was bowing out of the film industry was ignited after The Dark Knight star told Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo in a recent interview that his latest movie Best Sellers has "turned out to be [his] last part".

He said: "Funnily enough, it has turned out to be my last part, really. Because I haven’t worked for two years and I have a spine problem which affects my legs so I can’t walk very well. And I also wrote a couple of books which were published and were successful, so I’m now not an actor I’m a writer."

His representatives have since confirmed to The Wrap that he is not retiring.

"Regarding retirement, I’ve spent over 50 years getting up at 6:00 AM to make movies, and I’m not getting rid of my alarm clock!" Caine said in a statement to the outlet
