We know Blake Lively loves a practical joke or two - but it seems her husband, Ryan Reynolds, is also a bit of a prankster.

The actor appeared on the red carpet overnight at Sundance Festival, where he told reporters about his unusual approach to parenting.

"I gotta jump in and do all those sorts of things," Reynolds said of his daughter Violet. "I mean, I've even tried breastfeeding. It's frustrating for the baby and frankly disturbing for me ... not well is the answer," quipped the actor when asked how that was going.

Jokes aside, Reynolds says Violet, who was born in December, already has him wrapped around her little finger.

"That started well before she was born!" Reynolds commented - and while he lamented the lack of sleep that comes with being a new parent, he was quick to say how much he loves being a dad.

"The best thing about it - well, everything's great about it," he said.

Meanwhile Blake seems to have taken to her new role as a mum like a duck to water.

"It's something that I've always wanted ever since I was a little girl," the actress explained. "I knew I wanted to have a lot of kids because I had come from a big family so it was always important to me.

"So it's just the excitement of that finally being here."
