Ryan Reynolds has said he regrets making the 2013 animated film *Turbo*, describing the experience as feeling “fake and weird”. His comments reflect discomfort with the promotional demands surrounding the film rather than a criticism of its production, and highlight his preference for projects where he feels more personally engaged.

*Turbo* featured Reynolds as the voice of an ordinary garden snail who gains super-speed and pursues a dream of racing in the Indianapolis 500. The film had a reported budget of around $135 million and earned roughly $282 million worldwide, but received a mixed critical response; Reynolds later indicated that the associated publicity made him feel inauthentic.
