On Monday, Ryan got back into his Red Notice con-man character as he attempted to sell an Egyptian Egg from the Netflix film in a hilarious skit.
The actor appeared on the US version of The Antiques Roadshow in a spoof scene posted to his Instagram account to sell the fictional golden Cleopatra egg – captioned: ‘The #RedNotice scene I wish I’d shot.’
Host Lark E. Mason asked Ryan to tell him about the artifact, with Ryan responding: ‘Yes. It’s an egg.’

Lark then asks: ‘And what’s its family history?’ with Ryan retorting: ‘Well, no. This is not a family heirloom.
‘My family disowned me years ago. They don’t like me. But this is more of an heirloom that my good friend at the museum lent me.’
The star then humorously remarks that that his friend is unaware that he has the egg.

Lark gives Ryan a run-down of the egg’s history, recounting how it was one of three commissioned by Cleopatra, with two held in public collections and one vanishing during the Second World War.
He says: ‘German soldiers had taken it to a secure hideaway. And there it remained up until recently.
A unimpressed Ryan interrupts and asks how much the egg is worth – with Lark confirming the item is worth more than $100m.
