Ryan Reynolds has reunited with his ‘evil twin brother’ in a hilarious new gin advert.
The Canadian actor, and star of Deadpool, owns Aviation American Gin and is seen being interviewed by ‘Gordon Reynolds’ in its latest advert.
During the interview Gordon roasts Ryan about the brand, and about his kids.
Gordon asks Ryan about his children, who he shares with wife Blake Lively.
When asked how the kids were, Ryan replies ‘good’, but he’s quickly interrupted by his ‘brother’, who says:
Children of celebrities they always turn out normal I’m sure they’re going to be fine.
Gordon then says: ‘So I hear Deadpool 2′s great, I haven’t seen it yet.’ To which Ryan asks ‘why?’.
His response:
I was recently diagnosed with, err, stage four. Stage four I don’t give a sh*t. I’m afraid it’s terminal.
Burn.
They then go on to get to the point of the advert, and actually start talking about Aviation American Gin.
Gordon pokes fun at Ryan for not only not inventing gin, but also for not being American and not being able to fly planes.
Deciding to try some, he appears to pour a full glass of gin, before drinking the whole thing. (Obviously, this is water, drink responsibly).
Gordon then says:
Happy gin day. That tastes like a sunrise had sex with a feather duster.
Ok, ok, it’s just Ryan, there is no ‘Gordon’, but it’s funny regardless.
Watch the ad here:
According to CBR, Reynolds took ownership of the gin company a year after trying the product for the first time.
He previously joked how ever since he’d tried the gin, he’d spent most of his time ‘finding some way to infiltrate the company’, saying:
I don’t know whose idea it was to allow me into the gin business, but I can assure you, there are smarter, more reasonable people in charge.
As I said earlier, Ryan trolling himself is one thing – usually it’s his own wife or Hugh Jackman.
Last week, he took a swipe at the fashion industry.
Taking to Instagram, he had a bit of a dig at the trend of tiny sunglasses.
You know the ones:
Ryan decided to post his own take on the trend, saying:
I’m really into the whole tiny sunglasses trend. Thanks for your support everyone!
And they are quite (not at all) fetching:
At the end of April, Ryan was called out for trolling his friend, and fellow actor, Hugh Jackman.
The short video, which begins with Jackman wearing a dressing gown explaining how busy he is, is quickly taken over by Ryan lying on what looks like a hotel bed, dressed head to toe as Deadpool, singing along to Tomorrow, a song from Annie which appears in The Greatest Showman and Deadpool 2.
He even threw shade at his wife, Blake, in the official Deadpool 2 trailer.
Because trolling has no boundaries apparently.
Here’s the trailer:
In case you missed the it – there’s a sneaky and cheeky reference to one of Lively’s first films The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
He says:
Doing the right thing is messy, but if you wanna fight for what’s right, sometimes you have to fight dirty.
And that’s why Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is pure pornography.
Woah.
