Share

Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds spoke with Bloomberg on Tuesday where he shared his views on cryptocurrency and the advertisements of crypto exchanges that aired during Sunday’s Super Bowl.  

The 45-year-old Canadian actor, best known for the Deadpool movies and recently Free Guy, echoed mainstream sentiment that the digital asset class has become a serious player in global finance.

The actor said:

“I think companies are doing a good job of bringing it into a sort of safer, more mainstream light.

90% of the word ‘crypto’ is ‘crypt’ so I see why certain folks might be put off or intimidated by it.”

Capture of Coinbase’ Super Bowl LVI Commercial

One of the crypto advertisements during Super Bowl LVI, which also was a huge success for online sports betting operations in the U.S, for Reynolds was Coinbase’ bouncing QR. He opined:

“Sometimes, a great way to do that is to use celebrities. Sometimes a terrible way to do that is to use celebrities … [overall] they seem to be doing some things pretty well.”

Nevertheless, when Reynolds was asked about whether he owns any crypto currently, he kept a straight face saying:

“I don’t really want to comment on that.”

Next to his acting career, Reynolds acts as chief creative officer of the self-service ad platform MNTN.
