The Struggle Is Real: Actor Ryan Reynolds Just Can't Build This IKEA Crib

GQ Magazine shot this video of actor and new dad Ryan Reynolds struggling to build an IKEA crib.

"The Green Lantern" star and actress Blake Lively welcomed their first child together in December.

As Reynolds tries to make sense of the maelstrom of styrofoam, wood panels and screws strewn about a living room floor, you can hear his phone call to what is apparently an IKEA customer support line.

In the midst of it all Reynolds mutters to himself, "What's Swedish for 'f*^$ you'?"

You don't need to be a parent to appreciate his frustration at IKEA assembly. Can you say "Liatorp"? One relationship expert called it the "divorcemaker" in a Wall Street Journal article.

The video was posted to YouTube four days ago and already has more than half a million views.
