Ryan Reynolds shares spotlight with mom for Mother’s Day

Mother often knows best, even if you happen to be one of Hollywood’s most famous faces. Vancouver’s own Ryan Reynolds is getting a lot of attention for a new video posted to social media, but it’s his mother who is stealing the show.

The actor posted a special mother’s day recipe called Mother’s Ruin Punch to showcase his gin brand, and was joined by his mother Tammy Reynolds to help mix it together.

In it, Ryan demonstrates the “correct” technique, but luckily has some motherly advice to help.

“Then you’re going to want to stir until it’s dissolved,” the actor said.

“Always stir counter-clockwise honey,” Tammy jumped in.

 

In addition to some more recipe tips, Ryan’s mom also reflects on the amount of alcohol used in the recipe, gently advising “Not too much” when Ryan calls for a sizeable pour. Tammy also pulls a classic mom move: Picking lint off her kid’s shirt.

“As this chills for an hour you want to spend that time reflecting on what your mother has done for you over the years,” Ryan adds.

The video has racked up nearly a million views on YouTube and thousands of likes on Twitter, with many offering up a Happy Mother’s Day wish to Tammy on the special day.

The skit finishes with a sweetly critical comment from mom: “We can fix your performance in post, sweetheart.”

“I’ll fix you in post,” Ryan quipped back.
