Ryan Reynolds can light up any face with his charm. The star is not only a talented actor but also an engaging speaker due to his witty take on things and his use of humor to connect with people. Sometimes even admitting that it is taken too far, but who could be mad? He even confessed about one such incident during a promotional interview for the action thriller Red Notice.

Director Rawson Thurber’s Red Notice was an action comedy thriller and saw a very unlikely trio working together for the first time. So when Ryan worked with his new co-stars, the funny side still remained visible during the movie shoot. The sets of Red Notice were kept entertained, courtesy of Reynolds. His efforts to make his co-stars laugh probably even cost Netflix their resources. Let us see how.

Ryan Reynolds wasted Netflix’s resources on the sets of Red Notice

The 2021 film Red Notice casts Ryan Reynolds along with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Israeli beauty and superwoman Gal Gadot. All are A-stars in their own unique ways, so when the three of them were cast for this movie, each was thrilled to work with the other. The trio shared their filming experience in an interview with Vogue, during which Ryan admitted to doing antics just to make Dwayne Johnson laugh.

In the questionnaire session, Gal Gadot was asked about the one thing that makes Dwayne laugh. She wanted the answer to be his daughters/kids but changed her mind seeing her co-stars laugh devilishly. She retracted and said, “seeing Ryan working out” is what makes Rock happy.

Ryan agreed to Gadot’s answer that he likes making his co-star laugh. He would do all sorts of things to see Dwayne smiling, especially mimicking Dwyane ‘The Rock’ Johnson, during the scenes. The actor admitted, “And we were literally wasting Netflix’s time and money because none of this is ever going to make it in the movie,” added The Adam Project actor. Looks like the real Ryan is not too different from his character in the Deadpool movie.
