Is Ryan Reynolds the funniest man in Hollywood? He’s certainly competing to keep that title, as he recently launched a brand new streaming service - with just one movie.
The Deadpool actor, who often trolls his wife Blake Lively and celebrity friends, announced via Twitter this week: "Every tech company needs a streaming service. So... introducing Mint Mobile +. The world's most affordable streaming service!"
However, a quick look at the “service” shows only one film was actually available - the 2003 movie Foolproof, in which he starred (note: it didn’t get the best reviews).
Reynolds then responded to his own tweet, satirically adding: "Two minutes after launch and our crack data team has already determined Mint Mobile + should probably be shut down by the weekend. We'll go back to focusing on premium wireless…"
Followers loved the A* trolling, despite the fact that some got taken in by his prank. One Twitter user replied: "Noooooooo I already cancelled Disney+ triple pack, Netflix, Prime, Crunchyroll, HBOmax, Directv, Comcast, Vudu, and dismantled my antenna !!!!! I put my entire entertainment future in the hands of your one tweet!!!!!”
One follower wrote: “Is it minty fresh?” to which the official MintMobile Twitter account replied: “2003 is as fresh as it gets”
Another simply exclaimed: “I NEED MORE THAN 80 MINUTES OF RYAN REYNOLDS IN MY LIFE! THIS IS NOT ENOUGH!”
We have to agree...
