Ryan Reynolds is celebrated in Hollywood for his comedic talent and irresistible charm. However, he has also gained a reputation for his wit and for being a master troll on social media. The Deadpool actor often takes to platforms like Instagram and Twitter to entertain his followers by sharing photos, videos and engaging in playful trolling with fellow celebrities. He indulges in ‘feuds’ and lighthearted pranks with his wife, Blake Lively, and friend-rival, Hugh Jackman.

In a twist, the 46-year-old has switched gears to target an unexpected subject: a 1994 movie titled Clifford. Bear no confusion, for it is not that children’s book series featuring a giant red dog. The movie in question stars Martin Short as a 10-year-old boy who creates chaos for his uncle portrayed by Charles Grodin. With his cheeky sense of humor, Reynolds took the opportunity to playfully mock this scene through an Instagram story.

“Look at me like a human boy!” The Free Guy star shares one of the most hilarious scenes from the movie. The character Clifford is unable to portray normal human-like behavior, which is obvious given his mental state. His uncle, Martin, goes on to plead with him for keeping his behavior in check as they are also accompanied by Martin’s fiancee Sarah. However, what is uncanny is 40-year-old Martin Short playing a 10-year-old boy obsessed with dinosaurs.

The film didn’t do well at first, both critically and commercially. However, it has attracted a cult-like fan base over time. It has a blend of dark humor and absurdity that resonates with viewers. Additionally, it holds a charm for some people who appreciate its status as an underdog or a hidden gem, from the 1990s. That seems to be exactly what Reynolds embodies.
