Ryan Reynolds trolls fans by launching streaming service with just one movie...which happens to be his
Is Ryan Reynolds the funniest man in Hollywood? He’s certainly competing to keep that title, as he recently launched a brand new streaming service - with just one movie.
The Deadpool actor, who often trolls his wife Blake Lively and celebrity friends, announced via Twitter this week: "Every tech company needs a streaming service. So... introducing Mint Mobile +. The world's most affordable streaming service!"
However, a quick look at the “service” shows only one film was actually available - the 2003 movie Foolproof, in which he starred (note: it didn’t get the best reviews).

Followers loved the A* trolling, despite the fact that some got taken in by his prank. One Twitter user replied: "Noooooooo I already cancelled Disney+ triple pack, Netflix, Prime, Crunchyroll, HBOmax, Directv, Comcast, Vudu, and dismantled my antenna !!!!! I put my entire entertainment future in the hands of your one tweet!!!!!”
One follower wrote: “Is it minty fresh?” to which the official MintMobile Twitter account replied: “2003 is as fresh as it gets”
Another simply exclaimed: “I NEED MORE THAN 80 MINUTES OF RYAN REYNOLDS IN MY LIFE! THIS IS NOT ENOUGH!”
We have to agree...
