While Ryan Reynolds was most recently in the midst of filming the upcoming third Deadpool movie (which has now encountered an unfortunate roadblock), it doesn't mean he can't take time out to devote to his other babies, specifically Mint Mobile.
The Canadian actor, 46, shared a new commercial for the network operator, which he is part owner of, and in the midst of a positive update, was left stunned when his own commercial took over. Check it out in the video below.
"One step closer to EGOT status," he joked in his caption, leaving fans in splits as they commented with strings of laughing emojis.
"Bro has the power to make people watch a freakin advertisement," one joked, while another said: "Even while being serious… he's still hilarious," and a third gushed: "Get it Ryan!! Huge support for our Vancouver boy."

The deal likely pocketed him around $300 million and followed on from the successful sale of his ownership stake of Aviation Gin in 2020, which he reportedly sold to Diageo for about $600 million.

However, thanks to his various entrepreneurial branches, his investment ventures continue to grow, with his new Bedtime Stories series debuting on FuboTV last June, and a big investment that took him to the races that same month.
