\u201c[Give me] an example of something that didn\u2019t work out for you?\u201d Banikarim asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Reynolds jokingly responded, \u201cHigh school. Definitely that.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
He then shifted to the films of his that didn\u2019t exactly earn critical love or receive glowing reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
\u201cI think creatively speaking, it\u2019s hard to say, someone might say \u2018Green Lantern,\u2019\u201d he said \u2014 a comment that drew laughter from the crowd. He added that the movie is his son\u2019s \u201cfavorite movie\u201d of his, a detail that amused the audience even more.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Reynolds went on to explain that, at that point in his career, he had been a \u201cyes man\u201d and a \u201cpeople pleaser,\u201d and is now committed to having more ownership over the direction of his career.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

So if I\u2019m going to be on that headline, I\u2019d like to be the architect of my own demise or success,\u201d Reynolds said, adding<\/span> that he learned how to bring his \u201cown voice into the room to collaborate.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.celebrity.land \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Reynolds took a candid look back at his Hollywood journey earlier this week.
