Jenn Tran is in fangirl mode. The single star hilariously freaked out after Ryan Reynolds addressed his thoughts on the reality show season 21 premiere.
The 47-year-old actor took to Instagram to post an announcement for his upcoming Marvel film, Deadpool and Wolverinewhich aired during the Monday night broadcast of successful reality franchise. The commercial aims to win over viewers in the “Bachelor Nation” demographic by blatantly highlighting the castmate Hugh Jackman‘s backside, with Reynolds — in the role of Deadpool — declaring that “women 18 to 49 are a super important group for us.”
Reynolds went a step further, offering a detailed analysis of Tran’s single debut.
“Everyone seemed to like it Deadpool Bachelorette Party spot last night, but can we talk about the episode?” Reynolds began his caption. “I thought Jenn made some strong choices, except for sending my compatriot Brendan away. Marcus is easy on the eyes, Grant was a bit much and the day trading thing, but I get it. Two Sams are going to get messy, so I’m leaning a bit towards Sam N. Jenn’s mom might have been the highlight and Melbourne, Australia felt like a shout out to Hugh, so a bit of a highlight there. Overall, great start. What was I talking about again?”
Tran, 26, responded by sharing a screenshot of a text exchange with someone who sent her Reynolds’ post. Her all-caps reaction included a direct link to “Blake’s husband’s post,” referencing Reynolds’ wife, Blake Lively.
“SHUT UP RIGHT NOW,” Tran texted her friend in the screenshot.
“I’M FREAKING OUT,” she continued. “I’M NOT OKAY RIGHT NOW. HE ACTUALLY WATCHED THE SHOW. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.”
The conversation continued with Tran saying she was in “VERY BAD WAY” and declaring her life was “FAKE.”
The person on the other end of the text message was apparently happy to see that Reynolds was a fan of Tran’s mother.
Tran added a comment to her post, saying, “I’m freaking out mostly because there’s no way @blakelively didn’t watch it WITH Deadpool.”
She added: “@vancityreynolds your 18-49 age range has been reached.”
The situation marks a full-circle moment for Tran. In March, ET’s Denny Directo asked her which “celebrity crush” would best represent the kind of man she was. looking for the show.
“I love Ryan Reynolds because he’s hilarious,” she told ET at the time.
But there was a catch.
“If we’re talking about building and your character in the show, Chris Evans“, she added, finally giving the final metaphorical rose to captain America actor.
“I laugh every time he’s on screen,” she said of Evans. “Actually, I take that back. It’s just Chris Evans.”
Deadpool and Wolverine hits theaters on July 26. In the meantime, The single woman airs Mondays on ABC.
