Will Ferrell was scheduled to do The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and Ryan Reynolds was slated to do Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday. However, they both showed up at the other actor’s talk show.
The two Spirited actors have created such a bond after harmonizing to Mika’s Grace Kelly that they are willing to do anything for the other one. Things like promote the other person’s project instead of their own during the other actor’s late night appearance. So, Ferrell talked about Netflix’s Red Notice while Reynolds divulged about The Shrink Next Door on Apple TV+. Both projects start streaming tomorrow.
What did they know about their roles? Nothing! That is what made this Freaky Friday on a Wednesday even funnier. I hope they do this again when their soon-to-be Christmas classic comes out at some time.
Do you think the hosts knew about the switch? I kind of feel like Kimmel didn’t, but I am not sure about Fallon.
Yesterday was Ryan Reynolds’ 45th birthday. The actor spent his special day with the person he loves most. Not Blake Lively and their three daughters James. 6, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2. Instead, he spent it with Hugh Jackman. Let’s be honest, you know that the Greatest Showman is his soul mate. Lively is just a close second.
Oh, in case you are wondering, his wife was there taking the photo of her husband with his true love.
Now that today is not Reynolds’ birthday, you know that he and Jackman will go back to pretending they hate each other.
Over the last few years, Ryan Reynolds has done some huge budget action films like the two Deadpools, Free Guy, and Red Alert. However, the Christmas musical he just finished filming with Will Ferrell convinced him to take a hiatus from acting.
That’s a wrap for me on Spirited. Not sure I’d have been ready to say yes to a film this challenging even three years ago.
Singing, dancing and playing in the sandbox with Will Ferrell made a whole lotta dreams come true. And this is my second film with the great Octavia Spencer…
Perfect time for a little sabbatical from movie making. I’m gonna miss every second working with this obscenely gifted group of creators and artists.
These days, kindness matters as much as talent. I’ve been lucky to work with folks who are flush with both.
Even though he will not be acting, he will have plenty of other things to keep him busy, like his wife, Blake Lively, his three young daughters, his companies Aviation Gin and Mint Mobile. and his rivalry with Hugh Jackman. Maybe now they can finally go to couple’s therapy and work on their issues.
As sad as I am that Reynolds won’t be acting for a while, I know he earned the time off. Although, didn’t he get a break during the pandemic? Actors.
Netflix released a fight scene between Gal Gadot vs The Rock and Ryan Reynolds from Red Notice, and she is bad a$$. As if we didn’t already know that, but this confirms it. She puts a former football player/wrestler and a scrawny actor in their place because she is Wonder Woman, no matter what she does.
Now, I really can’t wait to see Red Notice when it debuts on Netflix on November 17th.
It has been 15 years since Mika recorded his single Grace Kelly, yet it is having a resurgence on TikTok now. That is because there is a challenge where people are singing the first four lines of the chorus in different ways as the singer did throughout his song.
The challenge has gotten so popular that Ryan Reynolds thought he would give it a try. However, he needed a little help with the higher octaves, so his Spirited Molly Edwards co-star Will Ferrel decided to assist, whether Reynolds wanted him to or not.
When it came time to sing the last verse, the actors were able to harmonize as one. That is when I realized it took the two of them to sound like one Mika.
Since I am talking about Mika, you should download his album Life in Cartoon Motion. It is my favorite whole CD from that decade. I listened to it over and over again. And I still do. It is just so happy and positive.
Just like watching Reynolds and Ferrell duet. If this is a hint of what their Christmas musical is going to be like, I can’t wait to see the movie when it comes out.
I could brown, I could be blue. I could be violet sky. I could be hurtful, I could be purple. I could be anything you like.” Admit it; it stuck in your head too.
