Ryan Reynolds is a genius to state the least obvious. The Canadian actor has accumulated massive respect and fandom for his characteristic sarcasm and wisecracking humor. Earning fame as Marvel’s Merc-with-a-Mouth, the Deadpool 3 also has a slew of skills up his sleeves that lay the groundwork for his $350 million net worth. Blessed with keen business acumen, the star holds quite a few stakes as well as ownership of well-known brands or even those that shot to fame for his mere association.

One of his creative ventures recently suffered a massive data breach, yet the actor still found it safe enough for a shout-out.

Ryan Reynolds promotes Mint Mobile days after data breach exposure

Once holding a nearly 25% stake in Mint Mobile, Ryan Reynolds gave up his ownership of the mobile company to T-Mobile. After cashing in close to $300 million from the deal, the Free Guy actor remains the face of the brand and its marketing wizard. In countless advertisements, the 47-year-old has showcased his brilliant wit in promoting the company’s offerings. Once again, taking to his Instagram stories, the Marvel star shared one of Mint Mobile’s latest plans.

A low-key creative effort in a floating banner displaying the message of a “Buy 3 get 3” campaign came as the company recently acknowledged its data breaches. On December 22, 2023, the mobile startup disclosed that several of its customers’ names, phone numbers, emails, sim, and IMEI information, among other sensitive ones, had crawled their way out in a data breach. Ironically, Reynolds’ association, even only as a creative, unfortunately, dragged his name to the murky pits.

The reports come even as another of the actor’s closely helmed ventures ran headfirst into mockery.

Welcome to Wrexham faces flak for AI images and mislabeling

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney documented their efforts in acquiring and transforming Wrexham AFC into its current powerhouse state in two seasons of Welcome to Wrexham. While the first received several Emmy nominations and a commendable reception, the second drew fire. First, a likely AI-generated image went into one of the episodes to pass off as a historic one. In another instance, several prominent UK football clubs found themselves listed on a map at completely different locations.

Fortunately, owing to their less serious and goof-up nature, they quickly waned. Soon after, the club’s triumphs reigned supreme. Regardless, season three of the documentary stands to be released in the coming summer. Meanwhile, the co-owners have big plans for their football club, which may ascend to new heights in 2024.
