TORONTO -- The actress in the now viral Peloton commercial has traded her exercise bike in for a martini in a new ad for Ryan Reynolds鈥� gin label.
Earlier this week, Peloton received backlash for creating an ad that was accused of being sexist and tone deaf. Many were quick to say it implied the man wanted his wife to .
The 30-second ad showed a man giving his wife a stationary exercise bike for Christmas. The woman appears unsure and slightly scared throughout the majority of the ad where she documents her fitness routine. The couple is then seen curled up on the couch, watching her video blogs of her fitness journey.
The actress, now known as 鈥淧eloton wife,鈥� is now featured in a new commercial for Reynolds鈥� company, Aviation Gin. This time, she鈥檚 sitting in the middle of two friends with that same frightened expression.
鈥淵ou鈥檙e safe here,鈥� says one of the friends before the three of them cheers to 鈥渘ew beginnings.鈥� The actress then chugs her gin martini as her friends sip on theirs. As the camera switches to a shot of the gin bottle, one of the friends says, 鈥淵ou look great by the way!鈥�
While the ad doesn鈥檛 directly reference the Peloton commercial, Reynolds couldn鈥檛 help but mention it on his Twitter. He posted the gin commercial Friday night, with the caption: 鈥渆xercise bike not included.鈥�
