Ryan Reynolds still buzzing over Samuel L. Jackson’s ‘beehive’ wedding gift

WASHINGTON - Film and TV star Ryan Reynolds is still buzzing over a beehive full of the singing insects that he got as a wedding gift from Samuel L. Jackson last year.
The actor had asked celebrity guests to forgo showering them with wedding gifts when he married Hollywood siren Scarlett Johansson in a remote location just outside of his native Vancouver, Canada, in September last year.
He has revealed that he was shocked to find a box of bees left in his backyard.
“Someone came to my door and said, ‘I have a gift for you in my trunk from Samuel L. Jackson.’ He comes back from the trunk and it’s humming an insane degree. And he tells me, ‘Mr. Jackson would like you to have this beehive.’ So he hands me a couple of beekeeping outfits and a lifetime subscription to the Beekeepers Journal. And the next thing I know, I’m making honey,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
Reynolds, however, now feels that Jackson has provided him with an excellent way to scare away unwanted visitors.
“It’s actually a great security system. Some people are afraid of security systems, some people afraid of guard dogs, but I don’t know anyone who’s not afraid of swarms of bees,” he says. (ANI)
