You have to wonder exactly what the marketing crossover is between Deadpool and the readers of Good Housekeeping, but here we are nonetheless.
The Merc With A Mouth, played by Ryan Reynolds, appeared on the front cover of the vaunted magazine that's previously seen the likes of Martha Stewart, Queen Latifah and Mary Berry grace its cover. You still think we're joking, don't you?
Friends, we're not even close to joking. Take a look if you don't believe us.
That's actually a real cover, with Deadpool giving some real cooking tips in the magazine as well. In a statement released late last night, Good Housekeeping's editor-in-chief Jane Francisco said that "Deadpool’s persistence to be in Good Housekeeping was impressive – initially we had no idea who he was, let alone that he was a fan of the magazine."
"But after repeated attempts to ignore his… passion… we came to a compromise. He could appear in one issue, if he promised to stop leaving care packages at our editors’ homes and agreed to maintain a 50-foot distance from the Good Housekeeping offices and our staff."
Not only that, the same issue of Good Housekeeping also debuted the first poster for Deadpool 2. Again, this is not a joke. This actually happened.
