Overview
- Reynolds told the WSJ CMO Council Summit that his son Olin, 2, watches 2011’s Green Lantern every day.
- He cited the film when asked about a failure that became a lesson, reframing the widely panned movie as part of his growth.
- He recalled an earlier career phase of deference — “Yes, sir. No, sir. How high can I jump, sir?” — and said he aims to be the “architect” of outcomes.
- He described a soft parenting approach with little yelling or punishment and said kids do not need to be “screwed up” to produce good work.
- Reynolds and Blake Lively, who met on Green Lantern, have four children — James, 10, Inez, 9, Betty, 6, and Olin, 2 — and rarely share family details.
