Actor Ryan Reynolds gave his fans a tongue-in-cheek warning about the dangers of drinking and texting.
In a video ad posted on YouTube, Reynolds cautions that “dignity and grammar can vanish in an instant,” and speaks of “emoji abuse.” Reynolds, wearing eyeglasses and casually dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, walks before a pastoral background of clouds. He says, “It’s been a long and dark period, but finally a light has started to shine. Bars and restaurants are opening their doors and the distance between us all is finally starting to disappear. But as an owner of both a gin company and a wireless company, I feel a special obligation to say to everyone watching: Please. Don’t Aviation and Mint.”
Reynolds purchased a stake in Aviation American Gin in 2018 and in Mint Mobile in 2019.
