A gin company already made a sequel to that dystopian Peloton ad

What makes this wholesome for me is that Ryan Reynolds + Aviation did a real solid for Monica Ruiz, the actress.

This ad allows Ruiz to have another role immediately after what would otherwise be a disastrous and potentially career killing role. The Peloton ad could potentially mark Ruiz as a risk to future work. This Aviation ad, even though viral, helps to add a counter narrative and puts Ruiz in a much better position to move forward.

Reynolds and the staff of Aviation didn’t just make a one-note joke, they potentially saved Ruiz career.

For those who like gin (juniper being a polarizing taste) it’s also pretty good value gin compared to other mid-shelf gins, great for mixing negronis or martinis like in the ad.

imdb shows that he’s working on a film, but his output has really tapered off.

Guessing that it isn’t about Emily Dickinson. Or Jean Rhys. Or Reginald Hill.

Let me guess-- the url went to one of those jewelry companies.

If you missed it, he did a neat thing with Hugh Jackman earlier this year.

(Was that really less than a year ago…? It seems so much longer.)
