There are a number of things that Ryan Reynolds has become known for, thanks to his prolific and often-hilarious work as an actor, producer, and even football club co-owner. Also on that list is businessman and advertising tycoon, as Reynolds has become the face of several of his own companies, including his alcohol brand Aviation Gin. On Monday, that proved to not be the case in a pretty hilarious manner, as Aviation Gin unveiled a new advertisement replacing Reynolds with another Ryan — former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. In the advertisement, which you can check out below, Fitzpatrick hypes Aviation as the official gin of the NFL to the dismay of Reynolds, who still appears in the commercial via voiceover. The commercial, and even Reynolds’ tweet unveiling it, appear to poke fun at Fitzpatrick’s recent drama with Tom Brady, after Fitzpatrick slammed Brady during a recent podcast appearance.
So happy to have this motherfucker as our spokesman. @AviationGin pic.twitter.com/Y80neZC8aa
