Ryan Reynolds appears shirtless on a series of four covers for the new 'Must List' issue of Entertainment Weekly. In it he talks about being a sex symbol, 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' and why video games stink.

When asked how he feels about being considered a "sex symbol," 32-year-old Reynolds replied, "If you take any of that seriously, you need to be euthanized, ASAP. There are moments when you can use that to your advantage. But it's really embarrassing. I think I fear more than anything just sounding like a complete a--hole when I have to answer that question."

Among the modest actor's "musts" is A&E reality show 'Intervention.' "Real schadenfreude stuff," comments Reynolds, "The first season or two is all about alcoholics and heroin addicts, but then as the seasons progress, they feel the need to sensationalize it a bit. So by Season 5, you get to people who are chemically unable to experience joy unless they're smoking a cat, or something equally disturbing. I love it."

Ryan also spoke up about tabloid sensations 'Jon & Kate Plus 8,' "I find that whole situation to be horrible and awful. I wanna see Jon & Kate Plus Eight: The Musical. Jon versus Kate. I wanna see four kids on one side and for kids on the other, snapping menacingly to music as they walk toward one another."

Despite his love of trashy TV, the actor was quick to dismiss gaming as a quality pastime, "I don't really play video games. Is there a way to waste more f--ing time? The internet's enough. The last videogame I played was Ms. Pacman."

Don't miss Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock in the new romantic comedy 'The Proposal,' in theater this weekend.
