Ryan Reynolds’ action comedy film Red Notice was a massive hit last year. The movie that featured Gal Gadot and Dwayne Johnson alongside Ryan made a lot of headlines due to his staggering collection of $178K at the box office and 328.8 million views-hours on the streaming giant Netflix. 

The story revolves around the Interpol agent John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson) as he goes on a mission to catch the most wanted thief, The Bishop portrayed by Gal Gadot. Hartley joins hands with the most significant art thief (Ryan Reynolds) to complete the task. Following the release of his movie last year, Ryan Reynolds shared the recipe for making a perfect buddy comedy drama.

Speaking to the Firstpost in November 2021, Ryan Reynolds carried out a detailed analysis of his hit film Red Notice. When the actor-producer was questioned about the reason behind the success of the film, he credited the marvelous chemistry between him, Gal, and Dwayne. Ryan believes that all three of them perfectly fit together, as they do not invest energy in trying to win the scene and outshine the other. Describing their best quality, the 46-year-old added that all of them love listening to scenes. 

“It’s the chemistry. Gal, Dwayne, and I are pretty lucky we have that. You have actors who aren’t necessarily trying to win a scene as much as they’re trying to play,” Ryan said in the interview.
