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

Washington, June 19: 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
