Before Ryan Reynolds was a four-quadrant tentpole leading man, the media mogul behind Maximum Effort, the owner of the Wrexham soccer club, and a viral stuntman shill for Mint Mobile (which, to be fair, he owns a 25% stake in), the 49-year-old actor was… well, just an actor. But he hustled as hard. No one over the last 30 years has wanted to be a movie star as bad as Ryan Reynolds.
