A post shared by Ryan Reynolds (@vancityreynolds) on Jan 1, 2020 at 8:59am PST How Ryan Reynolds started his side hustle as an Entrepreneur? In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Reynolds spoke about how he got into the business of Aviation Gin. 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. Ryan Reynolds became one of the owners of this brand and became an integral part of their marketing ventures. Ryan is a well known public figure, which gives him more opportunities than most businessmen get to promote their company. Ryan Reynolds' videos of the digital promotions of his films or companies are thoroughly funny and loved by the audience. Ryan puts his acting skills and fame to good use in helping to increase the brand value of the company. His marketing efforts drove up the company's value by 50% since he joined, which makes him a good entrepreneur. During the interview, Ryan said he loves playing the character of a "business dumb dumb" in online videos. It definitely adds to the humour.
