Hitman's Bodyguard

There comes a time in almost every guy’s life when you meet someone and slowly begin to wonder how you ever could have lived without them. They’re someone who’s there for you for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. We’re talking, of course, about your best bro.

There’s a word for this kind of relationship; it’s called a “bromance,” and it’s the reason Judd Apatow has the net worth that he does.

In the new action flick “The Hitman’s Bodyguard,” Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson blossom an explosive bromance a la Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon, or Riggs & Murtaugh from ‘Lethal Weapon’. Their chemistry as best Bros, however, isn’t lightning in a bottle. Like any relationship, a bromance can be difficult to maintain, but it’s actually pretty simple if you follow these tips.

MAN DATES
ARE MANDATORY

As mentioned above, many of the rules that apply to a traditional relationship also apply to a bromance, and making sure you have some quality one-on-one time with each other is one of the most vital elements of a successful one. It’s easy to channel your inner network sitcom and surround yourself with a group of good friends at virtually all times, but specifically making time for each other is an essential element of a true bromance (not to be confused with the Quentin Tarantino movie).

There are countless ways for you and your bro to spend quality time together. Take advantage of the endless apps at a TGI Fridays. Rent out a karaoke room and exclusively do duets. Stock up on dollar bills and go to the one and only place where a pocket full of singles can come in handy— a dive bar with Big Buck Hunter in the back. The opportunities are endless.

CONCLUSION

If you follow all the steps listed above, you should be able to forge a bromance just like the one Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson have on display in “The Hitman’s Bodyguard.” In the movie, Ryan Reynolds plays the titular bodyguard who is tasked with protecting the life of a hitman played by Samuel L. Jackson, marking what may be the first time in movie history Samuel L. Jackson has needed help to stay alive.

Over the course of the film, their friendship is put to the test, but they manage to keep things together under fire— both figuratively and literally. It’s a bromance for the ages, and you can have one just like it as long as you subscribe to this guide.
