Ryan Reynolds — the ever-charming star of Deadpool and Free Guy — has officially joined the chorus of celebrities praising Bad Bunny’s bold Super Bowl halftime moment. Known for his quick wit and playful humor, Reynolds couldn’t resist weighing in on the cultural buzz sparked by the Puerto Rican superstar’s response to critics.
Bad Bunny’s Viral Clapback
During the halftime show, Bad Bunny lit up the stage with a high-energy set featuring hits like Tití Me Preguntó and MONACO. While most viewers loved the performance, a few critics questioned the heavy use of Spanish lyrics. Bad Bunny, unfazed, fired back with a grin: “The audience has four months to learn Spanish.” The unapologetic remark instantly went viral, drawing cheers from fans for its confidence and cultural pride.
Reynolds Joins the Fun
Reynolds, who is currently promoting Deadpool & Wolverine, couldn’t resist jumping on the moment. “I’ve started learning Spanish,” he joked during a recent interview. “Bad Bunny told us we’ve got four months — I don’t want to fail the class.”
The quip sparked laughter from the crowd and his co-star Hugh Jackman, who teased: “He’s been practicing — all I’ve heard on set lately is ‘Vamos!’ and ‘Gracias!’”
But Reynolds didn’t just stop at jokes. He praised Bad Bunny’s halftime performance, calling it “pure energy, charisma, and culture.” He added: “What I love about that moment is how confidently he owned it. He didn’t bend or apologize — he celebrated where he comes from. That’s real artistry.”
Fans Love the Crossover
Social media quickly lit up with appreciation for Reynolds’ comments. Fans posted messages like “Ryan learning Spanish for Bad Bunny is peak wholesomeness” and “Imagine Deadpool cracking jokes in Spanish — I need that in the next movie.”
It’s not the first time Reynolds has embraced cross-cultural humor — his Deadpool character has often played with language barriers for laughs — but this time, the inspiration came straight from Bad Bunny’s unapologetic pride and global influence.
“The World’s Learning Spanish Now”
Reynolds ended his comments with one more playful nod to the superstar: “Bad Bunny’s right — the world’s learning Spanish now. And I’m starting with the word ‘fuego.’”
With two of the most charismatic entertainers in pop culture sharing the moment — one on the world’s biggest stage, the other in Marvel’s cheekiest corner — it’s safe to say the mix of music, humor, and cultural pride has struck a chord well beyond the Super Bowl.
