There has been an epic Twitter exchange between a number of celebs over the past couple of days. Because it occurred over Twitter, Ryan Reynolds was obviously involved.
In case you missed it earlier this week, People named the country superstar and judge on The Voice Blake Shelton the sexiest man alive. In case you don’t know who he is, here’s the cover of People making the announcement:
ðŸ'€ðŸ”¥ðŸ˜Â? @BlakeShelton is this year's #SexiestManAlive! And most importantly, he 'can't wait' to stick it to his fellow #TheVoice judge (and former SMA) @AdamLevine. 😂 https://t.co/LtQ2q8QSkU pic.twitter.com/g7IilIXzxA

Honestly, we didn’t see it, and it would seem we weren’t the only ones:
PEOPLE: "Blake Shelton is our sexiest man alive!"

Blake Shelton is People’s Sexiest Man Alive because apparently Idris Elba, Chris Evans and Jason Momoa fell off the planet last night.

Blake Shelton is not even the sexiest:
1) Gwen Stefani spouse (Gavin Rossdale)
2) country singer (Steve Grand)
3) Voice guy (Adam Levine)
4) Blake (Blake Lively)
5) Racist (Dean Cain)— Anthony Oliveira (@meakoopa) November 15, 2017

Blake Shelton is, at best, the sexiest divorced dad at this barbecue

In any case, what has emerged out of it is a glorious exchange between some of our favourite celeb Tweeters (who also all happen to be superheroes) - Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds and Patrick Stewart.
It started with Jackman, who was given the honor of World’s Sexiest Man back in 2008, congratulating Belton and poking a little fun at another former winner of the title…
Hey @blakeshelton ... take it from me ... humble only gets you so far. Milk the sexy status for ALL it’s worth. The reign goes all too quickly. Just ask @VancityReynolds @people
— Hugh Jackman (@RealHughJackman) November 15, 2017
… which led to Reynolds making his own call for who should have won the award, which other Tweeters adored…
You’re both just speed bumps on the road to @SirPatStew. Outta the way. https://t.co/yglw2kegAB

… This inspired a class response from Sir Patrick Stewart himself.
Gentlemen, come at me when you are THIS sexy. #SexiestManAlive #WelcomeToTheGunShow @BlakeShelton @RealHughJackman @VanCityReynolds @People https://t.co/xW5UywY4lp pic.twitter.com/vWrRxRGqJe
