Arlene Manko was technically 5 years old when she got married because she was born on February 29, 1936. Yes, she was born on leap day 84 years ago, making her one of the world's oldest 21-year-old if that even makes sense. In honor of her 84th/21st birthday, Ryan Reynolds decided to put her in the spotlight and gave her a nice befitting 21st birthday gift.
It's the dream of many women to be personally poured their first legal drink on their 21st birthday and Arlene is enjoying that very privilege just a few days ago.
We're also excited for Arlene! Not going to lie or even try to sell you anything, but this is Aviation Gin's best advert yet.
Do you think sometimes I didn't want a drink? Well, we can't imagine how hard life must have been for her to be able just to get a bottle of liquor all these time.
It was a really funny advertisement as it also celebrates her 21st birthday at the same time. Yes, Ryan Reynolds personally narrated her story in the background, not forgetting to remind people that she's been drinking at the end of the ad.
Arlene was interviewed at home and was seen to be exclaiming 'Holy Moses' as she sipped her first glass of Gin... legally.
She has been waiting for 3,769 days for this.
Well, she didn't know who Ryan Reynolds was either. But she's probably drinking just a little bit too much. Maybe.
But she's not the only one enjoying the privilege. Aviation Gin is telling anyone born on Leap Day to send them an email, possibly with proofs to enjoy gift cards. If you are one of the unfortunate, email Ryan@aviationgin.com.
Deadpool is the only superhero we can bear hearing on ads from.
