Ryan Reynolds is popular for playing superheroes such as Deadpool and Green Lantern. The actor is loved for his quirky comic timing. His off-screen persona is also super funny as his witty online banters with his wife Blake Lively are loved by fans. Apart from being an accomplished actor and a doting husband and dad, not a lot of people know that Reynolds is also an entrepreneur. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Reynolds spoke about how he got into Aviation Gin’s business. The actor revealed that when he first tried Aviation Gin, he really liked it and was passionate about the brand as well. So, the actor called up the owner and asked if you could buy out the company. Luckily, for Ryan, his business dealing was just as easy as ordering Gin. The actor became one of the owners of this brand and became an integral part of their marketing ventures.

The actress feels that “Beauty makes you feel good,” which is why she wanted her beauty products to be accessible to everyone easily. This was her only criteria before venturing into the beauty side business. Drew Barrymore started her own beauty brand in 2013, aptly titled “Flower Beauty.” The actress insisted on quality at an affordable price. This is why her Flower fragrance and makeup line, made with cruelty-free ingredients, is sold at Walmart and not Neiman Marcus.
