Ryan Reynolds just revealed the best kiss of his life, and it’s not with Blake Lively or Andrew Garfield. The actor shared a hilarious throwback video on Instagram that proves his most passionate on-screen moment came from the most unexpected partner.
Ryan Reynolds’ best kiss ever isn’t Andrew Garfield either
Ryan Reynolds shared a video on Instagram recreating the iconic kiss from The Notebook with Conan O’Brien. Reynolds captioned the post, “The 7th most romantic thing Conan and I have ever done.” The video quickly gained over 55,800 likes within hours of posting.
The kiss originally aired on Conan at the end of 2016, parodying the rain scene between Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Reynolds and O’Brien mimicked the passionate moment, though Bravo’s The Daily Dish noted it was “a lot more uncomfortable to watch.” The clip resurfaced as Reynolds reposted it on Instagram, sparking a fresh wave of fan reactions.
O’Brien previously discussed the kiss during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. He revealed the scene lasted longer than viewers might expect. “It went on for about a minute and 20 seconds to the point where he starts doing stuff to my ear while we’re making out,” O’Brien said on WWHL. He also praised Reynolds, adding, “He’s one of my favorite people. He’s an amazing guy.”
However, O’Brien’s wife, Liza Powel O’Brien, was less enthusiastic about the moment. O’Brien shared her reaction during the same WWHL appearance. “I get home, my wife sees it, and she said, ‘That ruined both of you for me,’” O’Brien recalled. He confirmed it was a “true story.”
Fans flooded the Instagram comments with enthusiastic responses to the reposted video. One user called it “the best kiss scene in show business.” Another dubbed it “The Notebook 2.0.” Several fans also wanted to know what the other six romantic things between Reynolds and O’Brien were.
