Ryan Reynolds confesses that he is ready to embarrass himself performing Good Afternoon on stage if it gets a Oscar nomination.

Ryan Reynolds Is Willing to Embarrass Himself on Stage if Good Afternoon From &#8216;Spirited&#8217; Gets an Oscar Nomination

Despite a long-running career, Ryan Reynolds
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/] had never appeared in a musical
before until Apple TV+’s Spirited. The movie also starred Will Ferrell. The
actors sang and danced in the modern musical rendition of A Christmas Carol.



Although the movie received mixed reviews, the Oscars have shortlisted the song
Good Afternoon. And now both the music directors and Reynolds wish that the song
gets nominated

He is willing to do anything if does get a nomination!

RYAN REYNOLDS WAS ACTUALLY THE ONE TO COME UP WITH THE IDEA FOR THE SONG 

Ryan Reynolds was the one to request music directors Ben Pasek and Justin Paul
to create a musical number around Good Afternoon that would allow them to drop
“camouflaged f-bombs.” The Canadian had considered Scrooge’s Good Afternoon as
an insult and played around with that idea. Fortunately, the music directors
liked his suggestion and hired songwriters Mark Sonnenblick, Sukari Jones, and
Khiyon Hursey to help with the lyrics of the song. In fact, all the people liked
the thought so much that it had become a 55-page long Google document with
everyone pouring in their ideas about the lyrics of the song. 

Currently, the shortlisted song is competing with Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and
Lady Gaga’s musical scores and it’s a tough competition. Yet the crew hopes that
the song makes it to the nominees. It’s truly a fun number to sing along to and
cuss without using obscene words. 



Ben and Justin are already considering it hilarious if the two leads get to
perform it onstage and greet the Oscars audience Good Afternoon. The Deadpool
star seems to think the same. 

“Look, if this song is nominated for an Academy Award, I would say that the
least I can do is show up on that stage and embarrass myself,” Ryan Reynolds
said, as mentioned by Variety
[https://variety.com/2023/artisans/awards/ryan-reynolds-spirited-good-afternoon-oscars-original-song-1235489178/amp/]. 

Spirited is based on Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol. Ferrell plays
the ghost of the Christmas past who is already disillusioned with his job and
Reynolds plays Clint Briggs, who manipulates Ferrell’s character. The hilarious
musical comedy is available to stream on Apple TV+.
