Ryan Reynolds’ fake review of his own gin company’s product is peak Ryan Reynolds
We love Ryan Reynolds and don’t mind admitting it. Think about it – there’s his fake feud with Hugh Jackman, his amazing insult exchange with Josh Brolin and his tongue-in-cheek promotions for anything he’s in, not to mention the fact that he’s a fantastic actor.
He also owns a gin company, Aviation Gin, and we love that he wrote a fake review for his own product, but we love even more how funny it is.

In case you can’t read all that, this is what is says:
“I just tried Aviation Gin for the first time. Normally, I don’t gravitate towards celebrity brands, but I’d read the Gin was one of the highest rated ever. I loved it and I hated it. What?! Let me explain…
“As soon as I tried the Gin I knew right away, it was amazing,” the user began. “It was the smoothest Gin I’d ever tried and went down really easily.
“What did I hate about it? I wish they’d provide some kind of warning about how much you’re supposed to have. I had a lot… and after a while I felt really great. Eventually, that bubbly and illusory sense of well-being turned into a bit of a blur.
“When I woke up the next day, I mentioned to my wife Linda that last night must have been a REAL blowout because I slept in my clothes. Even my shoes! I also noticed it was really hard to look out the window at the Seattle skyline. Partly because of the bright sun (I’ve always been sensitive to light) but also because I don’t live in Seattle). I live in Coral Gables, Florida. Also, it’s important to note, until that morning, I’d never met anyone named Linda.”
Among the responses was this little unfolding future marketing campaign.
The marketing department already optioned the screen play btw

You know who would make an amazing "Champ Nightengale"? @RealHughJackman! I can't be the only one who sees that, right? He's incredible!
For the part of Linda, you'd need someone with a smoldering passion. I'm seeing @blakelively!
Wow! Hot, hot, hot! #MakeThatMovie

Actually that would be a hilarious commercial.

Someone named Homeless Astronaut had a very Deadpool-like comment on the gin.
I dont like gin. I buy yours to give to other people. That I also dont like.

When he posted the picture on Instagram, his mum chipped in.
Not even movie stars can get their shenanigans past their mums.
