Observing twice: “Ryan Reynolds” is purchasing real estate in Queensland
“Ryan Reynolds” has been seen enjoying Brisbane and has invested his hard-earned cash in two properties in Queensland.
Shaun Birley, 35, may be a dozen years younger than the Canadian-American megamillionaire, but he’s mistaken for the Hollywood star so often that he’s even had fans in an airport bσɱbard him for selfies
A man from Brisbane who was approached to serve as Ryan Reynolds’ body double in Hollywood has turned his movie star appearances into an investment, landing him a million-dollar house in the process.
Despite being a dozen years younger than the Canadian-American megamillionaire, Shaun Birley, 35, is frequently confused for the Hollywood actor and has even been approached by admirers for photographs in an airport.
The immaculately attired Mr. Birley claimed he lacked the courage to inform Mr. Reynolds’ supporters that he was neither a movie star nor any other well-known individual.

Brisbane’s real estate market has surpassed Melbourne’s, and price increases are not over.
He laughs, “I wish I could say that he could be my half brother but no.” “It’s funny because every day people bring it up, but I just don’t see it.”
Those who directly deal with Mr. Reynolds were made aware of the airport video in which fans were pleading with him for photos. Earlier this year, one of these individuals made an offer to hire Mr. Birley in Abu Dhabi.
“Sadly, schedule conflicts prevented me from participating in a body double advertisement with Ryan Reynolds in Abu Dhabi three months ago. He is Abu Dhabi’s new ambassador. It’s great that the producers said they’ll keep me in mind for more work.
Because of his movie star appearance, he has over 118,000 followers on Instagram alone for his postings about men‘s fashion tips. Over the past few years, he has collaborated with prominent brands, which has helped him save money for a down payment on a home.
He described Brisbane as “epic”. “I adore this city,” To be honest, I felt it was one of the world’s most underappreciated cities. Look at it now, going cɾazy for the upcoming Olympics as well. It’s a really wonderful area to live, and the people there are really friendly.
Mr. Birley, who was born in South Africa, relocated to Brisbane with his parents approximately nine years ago. In 2016, he paid $489,000 off Stockland for a three-bedroom townhouse in North Lakes.
Through Place Ascot agents Olivia Charlton and Drew Davies, the home has now sold for $700,000, $15,000 more than what was listed for.
In addition, Mr. Birley has invested in Graya’s premium residential project in Bulimba, Canvas, purchasing a 131 square meter, three bedroom, two bathtub apartment for $1.34 million in 2022 off the plan.
He remarked, “Those guys do an amazing job.” That has increased significantly. The $1.34 million I paid has been revised to $1.7 million. Late last year, that was finished. It’s a financial commitment.
He has sold his three bedroom townhouse in North Lakes for $700,000.
For $1.34 million, he purchased a three-bedroom condominium in this Bulimba development.
Mr. Birley operates the digital shipping company InXpress, which assesses shipping choices for businesses, as his day job. He balances this work with creating content for clients and teaching men about fashion, style, and travel.
We contrast DHL, UPS, TNT, and other courier services with one another, allowing you to select based on factors like weight, volume, size, urgency, and distance to destination. It’s crowded. We install this neat software in warehouses to eliminate the need for them to open several accounts with courier services.
Because of his versatility, he is able to travel far and, as of right now, play polo in Argentina.
Mr Birley’s day job is with a tech firm that compares shipping options for business.
He stated, “I’ll play a month of games in Argentina and then return here to play Australian polo.” “I’ll most likely be joining the Larapinta team.” Their base is approximately thirty minutes away from Brisbane.
When asked whether he thought the people in Argentina believed the Hollywood star was playing polo, Mr. Birley smiled and said, “I don’t think Ryan Reynolds knows he plays polo too.”
The closest fans may get to seeing the Hollywood star this year is when Mr. Reynolds delivers the keynote speech at the annual AREC conference on the Gold Coast, but it will be broadcast by satellite.
