#SOTD 65: An aww-shucks story by Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds, the Hollywood actor famous for the Deadpool movies is a maverick genius.
I’ve been a big fan of his hilarious promotional videos for products like ‘Aviation Gin‘, ‘Mint Mobile‘ and also his movies.
But this video is a different one.
Ryan is being interviewed by the veteran David Letterman for the Netflix series ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’.
Letterman asks him about his childhood – whether it was a happy one.
Ryan is circumspect and states that he had his dark periods… Letterman nods “uh-huh” and lets him continue.
And then Ryan comes up with a beaut of a story
It’s a story featuring his earrings. And three fabulous elder brothers.
Ryan’s story ticks so many boxes
- It is visual – from the beginning to the end, we are with him
- It is superbly delivered – the right pauses, emphasis, expressions
- It is emotional. Uff that ending…
- …and is also surprising
