Is Ryan Reynolds any different from Ryan Gosling? Are they the same person? These questions have been the main theme of a recent Internet joke among fans of both celebrities, who keep poking fun at the apparent similarity between the two. And of course, we would expect both of them to be happy about joining the fun and making some jokes themselves, and Ryan Reynolds was the first to do so.
He’s no stranger to acting silly from time to time, such as the time his Deadpool/Burt Reynolds photo became viral – so it should come as no surprise that he was quick to jump at the opportunity to give a hilarious response to a Twitter question about his similarity to Ryan Gosling. When someone asked him what the difference between him and Gosling really is, ne was quick to deliver a hilarious, if a bit inappropriate (in terms of language) response.
According to Ryan Reynolds, the main thing that sets the two apart is their hair color… and the fact that Ryan Reynolds “is a c**t” – his own words. Of course, this quickly became a sensation on the Internet as users were quick to share the post and discuss it on messaging boards.
Some also pointed out a peculiar detail about the response – Reynolds posted his tweet as a response to a post that never specifically referenced his account, nor that of Gosling. Which could mean one of two things – either he’s searching his own name on Twitter, or someone close to him is and they alerted him.
In any case, this probably makes the whole ordeal a little bit more hilarious, and we’re curious how far this Internet trend might go. As with many Internet memes, it could die down in a couple of days or it could go on for months, with luck seemingly playing a major role in every case.
In the meantime, Reynolds has been in the negative spotlight a little bit due to the way he held his daughter together with his wife Blake Lively. Lively herself posted the photo on Father’s Day, and she likely didn’t expect it to get such a backlash, but in the end it’s hard to predict the reaction of the Internet to certain things.
Reynolds himself hasn’t talked about the issue so far, at least not directly. However, he did mention the incident on his Twitter account in a joking manner, making it clear that he hasn’t been taking the whole thing very seriously.
