It’s hard to tell Canadian superstar Ryan Reynolds and his twin brother Gordon apart (spoiler alert: they’re the same person). But in this new video uploaded to Ryan’s official YouTube channel, their personalities couldn’t be more different as a scathing Gordon grills his unamused counterpart on his fondness for starring in body-switching movies and his marriage to Blake Lively.

We would say, the more Reynolds the better, but TBH we're kind of into Gordon's cutthroat approach to interviewing. 

 “Was Blake upset when she discovered your Raya profile, or when you accidentally clicked on her Raya profile? Follow up question, who brokers the terms for these Hollywood arrangement-ships?” Gordon quipped.

“My relationship is real, you f**k,” Ryan claps back, and later calls Gordon a “brainless dumpster humper.” Ah yes, this video definitely sparks joy.

This isn’t the first time Gordon has made an appearance to roast Ryan. Back in 2016, Gordon made his first appearance on the GQ channel to bust Ryan’s chops while Jake Gyllenhaal operated the boom mic for some reason. Then in 2018, Gordon returned to snicker about Aviation Gin.

Lately, Ryan has been the king of creating oddball and goofy advertisements for his various ventures (this Aviation gin ad starring LeVar Burton, and this Wrexham FC documentary ad with a very cantankerous Welsh translator are just a couple of recent examples), and it turns out this is a cleverly disguised ad for his Maximum Effort Marketing agency which was acquired by advertising software company MNTN (pronounced “mountain”).

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Maximum Effort Marketing will operate as an agency with MNTN, and that Ryan (not Gordon) will serve as MNTN’s chief creative officer.

“I genuinely love marketing and I have been gobsmacked by how much fun it has been and how fast we have grown,” Ryan told THR. “We wanted a future for our marketing arm that ensured we could continue to move fast, have fun and do really rewarding work.”

We suppose some of that “rewarding work” involves Ryan and Gordon putting on a Sean Connery accent and quoting that famous line from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade: “We named the dog Indiana!”

Seriously, watch this bit in full. It is baffling how great they are at getting us to pay attention to an advert about a company merger.

And while Gordon does have some epic burns for his twin, Ryan has the last laugh.

“Haven’t seen Gordon in some time,” Ryan wrote in the video’s description. “We break some new ground and some news. Pretty sure he broke wind as well.”

Sick burn, bro.
