The two former costars reunite 18 years later in a very meta ad for the actor’s American Aviation Gin line, which features the two playing exaggerated versions of themselves as they film what Smart believes is a sequel to the 2005 holiday comedy.<\/p>\n
The video begins with the pair in character as Chris Brander and Jamie Palamino, with Smart’s Jamie returning home from work after a tough day.<\/p>\n
“I’ve had better days. The bar ran out of Aviation American Gin,” she says, while holding onto a bottle of the booze. In shock, Ryan’s character exclaims, “Oh no, that’s so bad. That’s terrible. They ran out of Aviation American Gin!”<\/p>\n
With that, Smart asks for them to cut, saying it all seemed so “weird.” Reynolds, however, assures her the green screen they’re filming against will look great in post-production, promising it will look just like a real film set.<\/p>\n

After another awkward take, Smart calls cut again, criticizing Ryan’s “big reaction” to the Aviation Gin outage.<\/p>\n
“It’s been 18 years. I think the characters have changed a bit,” he tells her, before they give it one last go. Again, however, Smart has questions.<\/p>\n
“Hold on. Why would I be holding this if we ran out?” she asks, before he gives her pointers on the correct way to hold the bottle during filming. With that, she finally catches on — asking, “So this is a stupid ad for your gin company?”<\/p>\n
“This is a self-funded sequel predicated on a loose interpretation of IP law,” he responds, before telling her, “Yes it’s an ad for my Aviation American Gin.”<\/p>\n
Smart then storms out, calling him “dirty” for pulling a fast one on her and exclaiming, “You’re not my f–king hero!”<\/p>\n
Sharing the cute ad to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Reynolds wrote: “It’s a JUST FRIENDSgiving miracle! Thank you, Amy Smart.”<\/p>\n
In the 2005 film, Reynolds starred as a successful record producer who returns home to woo his childhood crush after a full body makeover. The comedy also starred Anna Faris and Chris Klein.<\/p>\n
