Yas Island Abu Dhabi, the region’s premier leisure and entertainment destination, has named Hollywood superstar Ryan Reynolds as its newest Chief Island Officer (CIO). Following in the footsteps of former CIOs Kevin Hart and Jason Momoa, Reynolds brings his trademark charm and wit to the role, promising an era of unforgettable adventure and excitement.
In a hilarious new trailer, Reynolds makes a grand entrance by parachuting straight into the heart of the action at Yas Marina Circuit. However, in a humorous twist, he misses his intended landing spot at the illustrious W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island. Reynolds, ever confident, strides forward to unveil his new role as CIO. With pride, he recounts his diverse career: actor, producer, owner of a Welsh football club, and now, the Chief Island Officer of Yas Island Abu Dhabi. Yet, his dramatic speech is humorously interrupted by the roaring cacophony of speeding cars.
The video sets the stage for an electrifying journey as Reynolds dives headfirst into Yas Island’s thrilling attractions. It’s Ryan’s island, and everyone else is just along for the ride.
