Hollywood’s king of sarcasm, Ryan Reynolds, just pulled off one of the most unexpected TV reunions ever—and it’s as weird as it is hilarious.
The 48-year-old Deadpool actor ditched his usual A-list squad this week to join forces with Beverly Hills, 90210 alumni Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green in a bizarre and hilarious Father’s Day promo for his company, Aviation Gin. But this isn’t just some retro throwback ad—it’s happening on the heels of a major legal victory for Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, who recently had a jaw-dropping $400 million defamation lawsuit tossed out of court.
The absurd video—crafted with Reynolds’ signature oddball humor—features Brian and Tori stepping behind the bar to mix a Father’s Day cocktail…with a name that made jaws drop: the “Reverse Vasectomy.”
“It’s Father’s Day, and since my fiancée [Sharna Burgess] recently and very publicly said that she wants me to father a sixth child, I’m going to celebrate… with a Reverse Vasectomy,” Brian quipped, as slashing sound effects and a man’s pained groan punctuated the cringe-fest.
“I have no idea how to make one, but I’m sure I can figure it out,” he added, just as Tori strolled on set, taking over with a deadpan: “God, you can’t do anything without me,” she joked, as canned laughter echoed around them.
Brian muttered, “I don’t remember our show having a laugh track,” confused by the sitcom-style setup. From off-camera, Ryan hissed, “Just read the lines, it’s working!”
Tori then launched into the absurd recipe: three ounces of tonic water in a highball glass, a splash of lemon juice, one ounce of cranberry juice, and 1.5 ounces of gin—all garnished with a twist of orange and topped with ice.
“And that’s a Reverse Vasectomy,” she declared proudly to the camera.
Without missing a beat, Ryan yelled from the sidelines, “Now kiss!”
As Reynolds stepped onstage, Brian corrected him, “We’re not a couple.”
“What do you mean you’re not a couple?” Ryan said, feigning shock. “I saw you get married on TV. May 17th, 2000.” (Yes, he was referencing the 90210 series finale, in which Donna Martin and David Silver tied the knot.)
And then things took a darkly funny turn.
“I recreated your entire bedroom in my own home,” Reynolds added with mock creepiness.
Both Tori and Brian looked horrified, sprinting off stage as Ryan continued mumbling eerie details about the fake bedroom.
While the ad was all laughs, the real drama behind the scenes was intense. Just days before the video dropped, a judge dismissed Justin Baldoni’s massive $400M defamation suit against Reynolds, Blake, her publicist, and The New York Times. The case had alleged libelous claims surrounding misconduct, but the court ruled the accusations were legally protected speech.
Baldoni’s legal team fired back, warning that Blake Lively was on a “false victory tour,” and that some parts of the case may still be revived by June 23. But for now, the most damaging claims—including defamation and extortion—have been permanently dismissed.
As if that wasn’t enough celebrity scandal for one week, Blake found herself caught in a swirl of drama involving former bestie Taylor Swift.
Online speculation exploded after Swifties noticed several Instagram posts featuring Lively had disappeared. Baldoni supporters gleefully insinuated that Taylor had “cut ties” with Blake following the lawsuit scandal. However, long-time fans of Taylor were quick to shut that theory down.
In fact, Taylor notoriously wiped her entire Instagram and social media presence back in 2017 ahead of the release of her Reputation album. The missing posts—including one featuring a koala cuddle moment between the two women—had been gone for years.
Despite the swirling headlines, some posts featuring Blake still remain on Taylor’s account, suggesting the so-called “feud” might just be fan fiction.
With legal stress easing, Reynolds seems to be returning to what he does best: throwing curveballs, poking fun at pop culture, and turning promotional content into viral gold. Whether it’s mixing up cocktail chaos with ’90s TV icons or facing down a $400 million lawsuit with a smirk, Ryan Reynolds remains one of Hollywood’s most unpredictable—and entertaining—figures.
