Ryan Reynolds And Grant Gustin in New Ad With MultipleThe FlashReferences
In addition to his other business endeavors, Ryan Reynolds, 47, dabbled in advertising following his successful acting career. In a hilarious MNTN commercial, he co-starred with fellow actorGrant Gustin, giving one of his best performances to date.
“I’m in charge of performance. We believe TV should be bought targeted and measured like search or social, the other performance channels”.
In response, Reynolds said:
“That sounds fast.”
Gustin nodded and gave him a perplexed look before asking:
“Would you say people could see results…in a flash?”

Ryan Reynoldsmentioned this in the ad, telling Grant Gustin,“You will always be my Barry,”to which Gustin responds,“You will always be my Hal,” referring to theDeadpoolactor’sGreen Lantern, Hal Jordan.
Gustin then asked, “Why are you staring at me?”while acting naive to what Reynolds was hinting at. Angry at Gustin’s portrayal of Seymour Roas’ ignorance, the Canadian-American actor merely continued,
“I thought this would be more fun”.
Reynolds often makes fun of his time onGreen Lantern,so it is not surprising that he would be offended if Seymour recalled him as Hal.Although it was a critical and commercial failure, he undoubtedly had an exciting opportunity when he was cast as the lead in theGreen Lanternfilm.
According toCinema Blend, Reynolds once discussed why he keeps making jokes about the $220 million disastrous film:
“I think it’s more about just laughing at myself, not laughing at other people, necessarily, that are involved in a project. But laughing at myself and my own contribution to that failure or however you want to characterize it. It was just something that I thought was worth examining, you know? And in examining it, you take that energy that is – typically, maybe it’s hurtful or maybe it’s something that’s dragging you down – and you end up creating a sort of mental Judo with it. You’re using its energy against it and creating something positive out of it.”
Unlike Gustin’sThe Flash, however,Green Lanternwas a box office bomb that nearly ended Reynolds’ career. As a result, the actor was overheard remarking,“That hurts, Seymour”, when Gustin addressed him as Hal in the ad.
The FlashandGreen Lanternis available for viewing again on HBO Max.
