Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart Reunite for 'Just Friends' Sequel in Aviation Gin Ad

The actors reprise their roles from the 2005 rom-com, leading to a humorous exchange that reveals the ad's true purpose.

  • Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart, co-stars from the 2005 rom-com 'Just Friends', reunited for an ad for Reynolds' Aviation American Gin.
  • The ad, titled 'Just Friendsgiving', is presented as a 'self-funded sequel' to the movie, with the actors reprising their roles as Chris Brander and Jamie Palamino.
  • The commercial spot, set against a green screen, features a humorous exchange between the characters, with Smart eventually realizing it's an ad for Reynolds' gin company.
  • The reunion comes 18 years after the release of 'Just Friends', a film about a man who escapes the friend zone 10 years after confessing his love for his best friend.
  • Despite the ad being a promotional stunt for Aviation Gin, fans of the original movie have expressed excitement over seeing the actors share the screen again.
