Ryan Reynolds Taps Real 'Tilly Norwood' for Mint Mobile Ad Launching $30 MINTernet

The new home internet service rides T-Mobile’s nationwide 5G network.

Overview

  • Reynolds appears with Natalie “Tilly” Norwood, a real Mint customer, as a deliberate contrast to the AI‑generated performer sharing her name.
  • Mint Mobile debuts MINTernet, a 5G home internet plan starting at $30 per month for the first three months for customers with a Mint phone plan.
  • After the introductory period, customers can lock in $30 per month by paying $360 upfront for 12 months, or choose a three‑month renewal at $10 more per month ($120 upfront with a Mint voice plan or $150 without).
  • The ad’s on‑screen text and sped‑up legalese voiceover limit the offer to “verified carbon based organisms” and exclude algorithms, synthetic consciousnesses and virtual influencers, with the voiceover performed by Amanda Cook.
  • Maximum Effort produced the spot, and Variety reports the finished commercial did not use generative‑AI technology.
