"It says daddy on it": Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds and Alpine driver Esteban Ocon collaborate for a hilarious encounter

Ryan Reynolds recently met with Alpine driver Esteban Ocon and shared a hilarious moment. Ever since Reynolds, along with a group of investors, bought a massive stake in the French team, the actor has been a lot more connected with them and their drivers.

Before the 2023 F1 Las Vegas GP, Reynolds met with Ocon, where the latter showcased the special Deadpool-themed race helmet he will be wearing during the race. In the video, Reynolds was extremely excited to see the helmet since he played the fictional character himself and is famous for it.

When it came to gifting the Alpine driver with something, Reynolds fumbled for a few seconds and said:

"I didn't bring you anything, but I did...I do have one thing, though. Here you go."

Reynolds took out one of his bracelets and gave it to Esteban Ocon. It was a pink bracelet that had something written on it.

"It says 'Daddy' on it?" the French driver said.

Although it was quite hilarious, both simply acted awkwardly and went on with the mini-skit. Reynolds simply stated that it was just a metaphor and that Ocon should wear the bracelet during the Las Vegas GP.

"Yes it says 'Daddy', but that's just a...just a metaphor!" Reynolds said.
