Paul Rudd Has Contract With Satan, Says Ryan Reynolds, Describing Bizarre Ant-Man Sequel
We all love Ryan Reynolds for his humour and now the Deadpool star has decided to crack some jokes about Paul Rudd’s youthful appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Making a surprise appearance for Will Ferrell, joking that his fellow Marvel actor had a contract with Satan, so that he could maintain his youth. Reynolds appeared on the Late Night Show for the Shrink Next Door on Apple TV+. However, Ryan Reynolds secretly believes (and also, have some theories) on how it could be an Ant-Man sequel. The actor, who recently appeared in Red Notice on Netflix is clearly aware that this wasn’t the case. However, Fallon and the crowd could just not get enough of his rapid-fire humour while sitting comfortably in the chair, discussing a man with whom he has always enjoyed working. Recently, Paul Rudd was named the “Sexiest Man Alive” by the People Magazines and the whole internet cheered and backed this move. The Ant-Man star has been a huge favourite among the fans for some time now and this seems just like a cherry on the top of the sundae.
Here’s what Reynolds had to say:
“I’m happy for Paul, because, A, he’s possibly the nicest human being in all of show business,” Reynolds began. “He’s ageing backwards because of his contract with Satan. Or he only drinks breast milk from a blue whale or something. I heard he does something weird. And I want in. Whatever Benjamin Button’s this life if we could.”
After Reynolds was asked if he knew what The Shrink Next Door is all about, more zingers got materialised. “It’s like some sort of Ant-Man sequel. It’s in the Ant-Man universe. It’s Ant-Man adjacent… He doesn’t shrink his body per-se. But, he’s a psychiatrist, so he does like, psychiatrist things. Paul is the psychiatrist. He is the shrink in it, right?… He minimizes himself in relationships, which is kind of like Ant-Man right?”
Here’s the Late Night Show clip:
Reynolds goes on to joke that this is actually a product of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but set in Phase 16. Ryan also had some really “funny” words for Paul Rudd on the TODAY show this past week.
“I just heard about this morning. I’m very excited. I think that this opportunity will be wasted on him, like so many before him,” Reynolds joked. “He’s going to play it shy. He’s going to play it bashful, humble. If I know what I knew now, I wouldn’t. You got to seize this opportunity. If I got it now, I’m not saying I would leave my family, but they would need to go on without me. I would roam the world clutching my dog-eared People magazine, going from town to town, sewing my wild oats like some sort of nude, magical gardener. It would be amazing.”
