- Mystery solved! The culturista Aaron Reed is he body double from Ryan Reynolds to play Dude on ‘Free Guy’.
- Ryan Reynolds’ workout and diet in detail
After its premiere has been delayed due to the pandemic, ‘Free Guy’ is already in theaters. The film action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds tells how a normal guy discovers that he is actually living in a shooter video game. Within the promotion of the film, Reynolds shared on his YouTube channel a video in which he showed viewers a glimpse of Dude, his alter ego who looks a lot like Reynolds, except for the fact that his body is incredibly Hulk. .
In the video, Reynolds appears as Dude with a straight face as he parodied not so subtly the body transformations that Hollywood leading men go through when preparing for action roles. “I start every day with a protein pump made exclusively from human muscle,” he joked. “It is completely organic and illegal.”
It goes without saying that what you see in the video is actually Reynolds’s head digitally superimposed on someone else’s torso. And now we know the identity of Dude’s body from the neck down: Aaron Reed, an actor and ex culturista competitive with WWE experience.
“What we did was an idea that Ryan and I had from the beginning,” explained director Shawn Levy in a recent interview. “This character wasn’t in the script, but we had this idea, what if Ryan has to fight Ryan? But what if he’s an upgrade? What if he’s Ryan 2.0? Taller, more muscular, bald, more Highlights and spiky hair, so we literally chose a bodybuilder from Los Angeles. His body was huge, and he made Ryan look like a fragile little feather. “

Reed, for his part, “had a lot of fun” working with Reynolds and the rest of the crew on ‘Free Guy’, even if his face never appears in the film. “Working with the stuntmen was a lot of fun,” he recently told Bodybuilding.com. “Those guys are my inspiration because they are always fighting and playing. Whenever we had free time, I would ask them to show me interesting things.”
However, he also recounted that the filming breaks meant that he had to regain his Dude physique in no time: “We had filmed everything in the summer of 2019, and then we had to return in January 2020 to film additional scenes,” he explained . “I was in really good shape in the summer, but every year I cruise in November and December. So when I found out we were coming back, I only had about three weeks to get back into summer form.”
