Despite being surrounded by unending legal
controversy, Ryan Reynolds
has no chill regarding trolling. Famous
for his witty and sharp humor, Reynolds hardly spares any chance to pull the leg
of his acquaintances, even if it is the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle
. The former actress once belonged to the same glittery world that Reynolds
shines in, and now has spread her wings in the business world with her brand,
As Ever.
But there is no stopping Ryan Reynolds who comically
trolled Meghan Markle and his own father as well at her expense recently.
Meghan Markle’s brand gets the Ryan Reynolds roast treatment
Continuing to make public appearances in the middle of the
Justin Baldoni legal drama, Ryan Reynolds recently appeared on Conan O’Brien’s podcast
, Conan O’Brien Needs A
Friend
. During the episode, while discussing his father, James
Reynolds, with O’Brien, the Deadpool
actor told him that, according to his father,
he was a “middleman for jars of jam.”
When O’Brien threw him a joke of saying
that he works for Meghan Markle, Reynolds’s quick response was, “If Jimbo
Reynolds wasn’t dead, I’d say he is Meghan Markle”.
Reynolds then quickly added “Well, adjacent”
after his statement, and O’Brien saved them by saying, “Many people have likened the two”.
Reynolds explained that his father was in the police force and then went on to become a food broker, based on which the actor thought that
meant he worked for the CIA. This was before his father talked about the jam
business. Both Reynolds and O’Brien shared great laughter over this gag. While Reynolds has had a fun time at Markle’s expense this time, the two have recently graced a big platform for a noble cause.
Influential
in their own rights, Ryan Reynolds and Meghan Markle recently contributed to
making the world a better place through the Time100 Summit.
Ryan Reynolds and Meghan Markle’s efforts toward global betterment
During last month’s Time100 Summit held in New York, Ryan Reynolds and Meghan Markle sat
down on the panel, where the event focused on highlighting solutions and
encouraging social actions towards world improvement. Besides them, the panel
also included many other key influential people from various
fields, who engaged in a global conversation about leadership, innovation, and
impact.
There, the
Duchess of Sussex, during her conversation with TIME CEO, shared
how she is “the happiest”
she has ever been with her family and her
business falling into the right places with the right rhythm. Ryan Reynolds’s
dig at Meghan Markle was all in good fun, especially after the whole world witnessed the phenomenal success of As Ever
, and with Markle hinting at much more
to come in the near future.
