Ryan Reynolds at the Time 100 Gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 25, 2017 in New York City.Landon Nordeman by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman Jul 6, 2017 1:16 PM UTC True superhero living among us [Ryan Reynolds](http://time.com/collection/2017-time-100/4736221/ryan-reynolds/) has dispensed some excellent advice for one fan after she pulled an equally excellent move after a breakup only days after prom night. The student Gabi Dunn wanted revenge against her prom date after their breakup, so she did the reasonable thing and edited the hilarious A-lister [Reynolds](http://time.com/4759276/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-john-legend/) onto her ex-boyfriend’s face. She shared the evidence to Twitter and tagged the _Deadpool_ actor, who knows a thing or two about the theme of revenge. “My boyfriend and I broke up a few days after prom, so I decided to ‘edit’ the photos a little @VancityReynolds,” she tweeted on Tuesday. Reynolds was all over it and even thought of the perfect next move. “We should photoshop me over his yearbook picture next. #DontMessWithGabi,” Reynolds responded, with a very choice hashtag. Dunn is now a graduate of the Ryan Reynolds school of sweet revenge. This is truly a masterclass in the art of retribution, and this young fan is clearly going far in life. > [](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/882797487353765892) > [](https://twitter.com/gabidunn99/status/882353475572690944) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4846816/ryan-reynolds-revenge-boyfriend-tweet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4846816/ryan-reynolds-revenge-boyfriend-tweet/"},"headline":"Masterful Ryan Reynolds Told a Fan Exactly How She Should Get Revenge on Her Ex-Boyfriend","datePublished":"2017-07-06T13:16:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:45:09.239Z","description":"Ryan Reynolds just gave this fan a masterclass in revenge.","url":"https://time.com/4846816/ryan-reynolds-revenge-boyfriend-tweet/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","High School","relationships","Prom","Ryan Reynolds","relationship advice","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4387484d5da39058/6988ca9e656a3f6899bcfb68/ryan-reynolds-time-100-gala-2017.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4387484d5da39058/6988ca9e656a3f6899bcfb68/ryan-reynolds-time-100-gala-2017.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Landon Nordeman for TIME","caption":"Landon Nordeman for TIME","creditText":"Landon Nordeman","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4846816/ryan-reynolds-revenge-boyfriend-tweet/","name":"Masterful Ryan Reynolds Told a Fan Exactly How She Should Get Revenge on Her Ex-Boyfriend"}}]}] ```
