Ryan Reynolds and Matthew Lillard recently took to social media for a hilarious response to criticisms director Quentin Tarantino made about the star.
How did Ryan Reynolds and Matthew Lillard respond to Quentin Tarantino?
In a recent commercial for Mint Mobile, a company Reynolds used to be a shareholder in but now is a marketing spokesperson for, Lillard is referred to as one of two things people “universally” love.
Lillard then jokingly notes that the love for him is “not unanimous,” to which Reynolds’ voiceover then crosses him off the list. When Lillard asks why he’s there, Reynolds says that he’s not a fan of Lillard’s attitude, jokingly putting an affectation on his last name.

The new ad, which features the two stars who actually appeared together in the 2001 movie Finder’s Fee, comes after Tarantino had some less-than-kind things to say about Lillard. In a talk on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, Tarantino said he was not a fan of Paul Dano, and also name dropped both Owen Wilson and Lillard as actors he didn’t like.
“I don’t care for [Paul Dano], I don’t care for Owen Wilson, and I don’t care for Matthew Lillard,” Quentin said.
While speaking at GalaxyCon in Columbus, Ohio, Lillard reacted to the comments, noting that it “sucks” to hear. “Quentin Tarantino this week said he didn’t like me as an actor,” the Scream actor said, “Eh, whatever. Who gives a s***.”
“Listen, the point is that hurts your feelings. It f***in’ sucks,” Lilard said about Tarantino’s criticisms, “And you wouldn’t say that to Tom Cruise. You wouldn’t say that to somebody who’s a top-line actor in Hollywood.”
