TRENDING NOW: Leap birthday ad featuring Ryan Reynolds gets millions of views

Arlene Manko was born Feb. 29, 1936, which means she has only celebrated her birthday 21 times.

To mark the occasion of her 21st birthday on Feb. 29, Manko starred in a commercial for Reynolds’ company Aviation American Gin.

Manko takes a drink, Reynolds wishes her happy birthday and Manko said she’s never heard of the Canadian actor before.

“Ignore her. She’s been drinking,” Reynolds said.
