Ryan Reynolds: Samuel L Jackson gave me bees as wedding gift

Actor had 10,000 of the insects delivered to his door

Ryan Reynolds was engaged to singer Alanis Morrissette before he married Scarlett Johansson

Ryan Reynolds has revealed he and his wife Scarlett Johansson received a bizarre wedding gift from Samuel L Jackson.

The Proposal actor, 32, was shocked when a swarm of bees arrived at their home.

‘I had a colony of 10,000 bees delivered to my doorstep from Samuel L Jackson,’ he tells Metro.

‘We definitely had a conversation about bees. I’m not involved in any bee movement, it was just idle chit-chat.

'We live in a very green household and we do as much as we can to leave as small a footprint as possible.

‘Somewhere in the back of Sam’s mind, he must have thought “The best gift I can give this guy us a swarm of bees”.’

Ryan and Scarlett, 24, married in September 2008.
