Ryan Reynolds has drawn the ire of the internet for his contentious comments about Minnesota. The Deadpool actor spoke to the Star Tribune this week, where he suggested that only Minnesotans could appreciate the beverages of his new boxed wine brand, Ugly Estates. In the article that came out this Monday, he said: “You want to go to places that will get it. I don’t think Martha’s Vineyard is going to really embrace this the way Minnesota might.” Ryan Reynolds says Minnesota produces "funny people": Read more As reported by Fox News, the wine comes from California, though the actor seemingly suggests that it being boxed rather than bottled is what would be better appreciated by the Midwesterners. In his conversation with the outlet, he continued: "Funny people come out of Minnesota. Funny people come out of eastern Canada. When you’re freezing your butt off in the winter months, you’re huddled together. And when you’re huddled together, you’re sparking ideas." However, locals have been feeling "insulted" and disrespected by the Vancouver native, as reported by several outlets. Scores have been flocking to social media to slam Ryan Reynolds for his comments, with some even asserting they would not be purchasing the drinks in an attempt to push back on his claims. Ryan Reynolds also called Minnesota an "underdog" state, though according to the U.S. News & World Report, it is the fourth-best state in the nation overall. Nonetheless, the actor, who admitted that he has only visited the state twice in his life, went on: 'I come from Canada. They love making fun of our accent, and they love going after the Minnesota accent and doing a little caricature. When I'm watching Fargo or something like that, I'm like, "I don't hear it the way you do." I just hear my mom the way she talks.' As for his wine, he described it as 'ugly wine - good wine, but done in a way that is super affordable,' saying the brand 'lean[s] into the mischief.' As of this writing, Ryan Reynolds has yet to comment on the debacle. However, he has reportedly refrained from sharing his interview with the Star Tribune on his social media accounts. As for Minnesota, the Daily Mail has reported that the state is home to some of the most prolific celebrity figures, including Prince, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, and Bob Dylan, among others.
