Ryan Reynolds joined other A-listers, like George Clooney and Drake, becoming the latest celeb to run his own liquor brand. The actor is the new owner of Aviation Gin — and the ad campaign is hot! Click through for more details.
"In the long and in no way disastrous marriage of showbiz and alcohol, so happy to announce I’m the proud owner of a gin company," Ryan tweeted on Wednesday, tagging Aviation Gin.
“Aviation is the best tasting gin in the world. Once I tried it, I knew I wanted to get involved with the company in a big way,” Ryan, 41, said in a statement. The actor will oversee creative direction of the brand and be involved in the day-to-day operations.
On Instagram, Ryan posted a shot of the ad, joking, "I own nothing in this photo. Except that gin company."

“If you think all gin tastes the same, you’d be mistaken,” Ryan continued in his statement. “Aviation is in a completely different league and I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of the company.”
Hopefully Aviation Gin will be more successful than Ryan's wife Blake Lively's failed business. Her lifestyle site Preserve shut down in 2015, about a year after launching.
