Scarlett Johansson & Ryan Reynolds Got 10 Pounds Of Bees From Samuel L. Jackson

Transcript

00:00 Samuel L. Jackson knows how to give a unique wedding present.

00:03 The 74-year-old actor recently opened up to Vulture in a lengthy new interview

00:09 about his 51-year-long career, and he revealed the wild gift he gave to his long-time friends

00:15 Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson when they tied the knot in 2008.

00:20 "Ryan is a savvy m******. I knew him from when he and Scarlett Johansson got married.

00:25 My wedding gift to them was a beehive. Scarlett was always talking about nature,

00:29 so I had my assistant go out and buy 10 pounds of bees, and then I bought them bee suits and the

00:34 whole thing. They kept bees for a while. They got honey for a couple of years while they were

00:39 married, and then one day the bees abandoned the hive, or they abandoned the queen, or some m******."

00:44 Scarlett and Ryan wound up divorcing in 2011, and then one year later in 2012,

00:50 the Free Guy actor married Blake Lively, and they now share four children together.

00:54 Meanwhile, for the Black Widow actress, she went on to marry French journalist Romaine Dauriac

00:59 in 2014, who she shares 8-year-old daughter Rose with, but the pair split in 2017.

01:06 Scarlett is now married again to Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost after tying the knot in

01:11 October 2020, and then they welcomed their son Cosmo in August 2021.

01:17 Access Hollywood chatted with the 38-year-old Starlet last month at the premiere of Asteroid

01:22 City, and she opened up about shooting the film only eight weeks after giving birth to their baby

01:28 boy. "I had read that you started working on this only eight weeks after giving birth to your son.

01:33 Is that true?" "It is, yes. I had just had my son eight weeks, on the eight-week mark I was on the

01:41 plane to Spain, but it was wonderful because I got to share my infant son with everybody on set,

01:49 and who doesn't want to be around a tiny, tiny little brand new person? It's very, very wonderful."

01:55 "That's so special to be able to spend all that time with him too while you're working."

01:58 "Yeah, it was. I feel very fortunate because I have a lot of friends who are working moms,

02:04 and they go back to work just a couple of months after giving birth, and they don't get to bring

02:09 their babies on set, bring their babies to work like I was able to, so I really feel very lucky

02:15 to be working in that kind of environment where that's possible."

02:18 "I'll be honest, I'm worried about that. That's part of the reason why I don't think that I'm

02:21 nervous about it. It's hard. It seems like it's a hard thing. And then lastly here,

02:25 we're coming up on Father's Day. Do you have any plans for Colin?"

02:28 "Plans? Just some nice, hard, you know, brunch. We are very fortunate to have

02:39 Colin's grandfather around, who's going to be 98 this year, so the many generations of dads

02:48 is being celebrated, so it'll be fun."

02:50 "That's so sweet! Oh my gosh, thanks for sharing,

02:52 and enjoy Father's Day and enjoy this evening."

02:54 "Thank you very much."
