Ryan Reynolds has perfected the art of making headlines, whether by starring in superhero blockbusters or dropping razor-sharp one-liners. Widely regarded as one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars, the Deadpool & Wolverine actor has built an empire of cinematic hits and luxury living. His garage, boasting a Lamborghini Aventador, Cadillac Escalade, and classic Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, reads like every billionaire’s dream. But now, Reynolds is grabbing attention for something far from film sets or fast cars, a car crash that has fans buzzing.

Ryan Reynolds’ name is zooming across the internet, tied to a baffling car crash trend that has fans slamming the brakes. What is behind this sudden, strange trend?

Ryan Reynolds has had his share of unexpected encounters with cars. Years ago, he was hit by a drunk driver, and later, by a paparazzo speeding through a Vancouver parking garage. Now, the internet is busy spinning a new narrative, with fans sharing a meme that shows Reynolds calmly posing while a car crash happens behind him. It is hilarious, sure, but completely made up. For the record, no such accident has happened recently. 

Known for his sharp humor, Ryan Reynolds added his trademark wit to an otherwise serious moment on April 13, 2015. After a CBC reporter tweeted to check on him following the car incident and accidentally shared his phone number, Reynolds could not resist. He cleverly replied, “Put Beachcombers back on the air and I'll call,” referencing the beloved Canadian TV series, Beachcombers, that entertained audiences from 1972 to 1990. Fast forward to today, while the car crash meme keeps fans entertained online, Reynolds is making headlines for a different reason: his underrated $250 million action-comedy is racing up the Netflix charts.

Ryan Reynolds is making noise on Netflix again as his action-comedy pair The Hitman’s Bodyguard and The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard are suddenly racing back up the charts this week.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard and its sequel, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, have muscled their way into Netflix’s US Top 10 chart. Despite critics offering mixed reviews, both films earned over $250 million at the global box office. The first movie pairs Ryan Reynolds with Samuel L. Jackson in an unlikely bodyguard-hitman duo, while the sequel amps up the chaos with Salma Hayek. For five straight days, these action-packed comedies have kept viewers entertained, proving once again that Reynolds’ comedic charm continues to keep streaming audiences hooked.

FlixPatrol reported that The Hitman’s Bodyguard climbed to No. 4 on Netflix’s US Top 10 Movies, with The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard cruising at No.10. Despite facing stiff competition from The Old Guard 2 and KPop Demon Hunters, Ryan Reynolds’ chaotic duo made a strong comeback. Netflix currently offers Reynolds’ five must-watch films, including the highest-rated Hidden Gem. Somehow, Reynolds climbs the charts faster than a crash meme spreads—because staying still is simply not in his skill set.
