TORONTO -- The actress in the now viral Peloton commercial has traded her exercise bike in for a martini in a new ad for Ryan Reynoldsâ 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 âPeloton wife,â is now featured in a new commercial for Reynoldsâ company, Aviation Gin. This time, sheâs sitting in the middle of two friends with that same frightened expression.
âYouâre safe here,â says one of the friends before the three of them cheers to ânew beginnings.â 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, âYou look great by the way!â
While the ad doesnât directly reference the Peloton commercial, Reynolds couldnât help but mention it on his Twitter. He posted the gin commercial Friday night, with the caption: âexercise bike not included.â
