by From Co-Stars to Lifelong Friends: How Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds Forged an Explosive Connection
Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds have developed a close friendship after starring together in the 2021 action comedy film “Red Notice.” The movie, which sees the two actors play rival criminals who team up with an FBI agent, provided the foundation for what has become a hilarious and supportive bond between the co-stars.
Gadot and Reynolds immediately hit it off on the set of “Red Notice.” Their similar senses of humor and ability to make each other laugh created an instant chemistry and camaraderie. In interviews, Gadot has talked about how Reynolds would constantly make her laugh so hard that she would forget her lines. Reynolds, meanwhile, has said that he felt like he had known Gadot for years despite just meeting her for the first time on set.
Their friendship was on full display during the film’s promotional tour. The two appeared together in numerous interviews where their playful banter and jokes had audiences laughing. But one of their best moments together came when they appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” for a hilarious sketch. In the skit, Gadot and Reynolds portrayed a married couple arguing over who does more chores around the house. Their comedic timing and ability to riff off each other showed how in sync they had become.
The bond between Gadot and Reynolds has continued to grow since filming “Red Notice.” They frequently support each other at events and industry functions, and they often exchange humorous and affectionate posts on social media. In 2022, Gadot posted a photo of herself and Reynolds on Instagram with the caption “My partner in crime (and laughter).” Reynolds quickly responded in the comments, writing “Only one of us is actually a criminal.” Moments like this show that their friendship remains as playful and fun as when they first met.
Beyond their similar senses of humor, Gadot and Reynolds also seem to connect on a deeper level as parents. Both actors have daughters around the same age and understand the challenges of balancing work and family. This likely provides an additional layer of understanding and empathy to their friendship.
For Gadot and Reynolds, what started as a working relationship on the set of “Red Notice” has blossomed into a lifelong bond of support, humor and genuine affection. Their ability to make each other laugh and find joy in each other’s company is a testament to the deep connection they formed while co-starring in the film. But it’s also clear that beyond their roles as actors, Gadot and Reynolds have simply become good friends who value and appreciate one another. Their explosive on-screen chemistry was just the beginning – it’s their real-life friendship that continues to delight fans today.
