Ryan Reynolds Tracks Down a Real Human Named Tilly Norwood (Not the AI Actress) to Star in Ad for Mint Mobile’s Home Internet Service

Ryan Reynolds has cleverly addressed the controversy surrounding AI actress Tilly Norwood in a new Mint Mobile ad. The ad features Reynolds alongside a real woman named Natalie “Tilly” Norwood, promoting Mint Mobile’s 5G Home Internet service. The commercial humorously pokes fun at the debate over AI-generated actors, with Reynolds questioning if Norwood is real and her witty response. The ad, produced by Reynolds’ company Maximum Effort, aims to contribute to the ongoing discussion about artificial intelligence in the entertainment industry. The campaign highlights the new internet service while emphasizing that it is available only to “carbon-based organisms.”
