In a world full of cowards and talentless hacks, it’s refreshing to remember that we will always have Ryan Reynolds. As if his performance in the 2005 classic rom-com “Just Friends” weren’t enough to sell you on Ryan Reynolds The Man, the Instagram post he put up last night should do it.

The Merc May Be Filthier, but Her B.O. is Stronger. Congrats #WonderWoman #BoxOfficeBoss

The post is a reference to “Wonder Woman” having left “Deadpool” for, well, dead in the race to the top of the box office with a gross of $368 million compared to $363 million. Indeed, we all knew Gadot was the “Box Office Boss” but Reynold’s confirmation makes it all the more official.

Congratulations to Gal Gadot for starring in a record-breaking female superhero movie! And congratulations to Ryan Reynolds for being both a gracious loser and the most desirable man in the Western World.
