Ryan Reynolds, the youngest of four brothers, grew up in Vancouver, Canada, where childhood meant scraped knees and wild adventures. While others played it safe, he chased something more—spotlight dreams. His entrepreneurial journey kicked off in 2018, launching a new chapter beyond acting. Now, after years of rising, a viral thread is making waves—and the internet cannot look away.

A viral X thread by entrepreneur Ken Berenger lit up the timeline with, “Ryan Reynolds is the new Steve Jobs”. Berenger then laid out his case like a lawyer defending a billionaire with a Deadpool obsession. He pointed to Reynolds’s 2018 stake in Aviation Gin, where he became more than a face. By 2020, he had thrown $2.5 million at a fifth-tier Welsh football club. Fans, however, were not sold, calling it a “stretch.”

Berenger argued that Reynolds is a marketing genius, and his moves back up the claim. After Peloton’s controversial advertisement, Reynolds quickly released a response featuring the same actress, Monica Ruiz, drowning her sorrows in Aviation Gin—going viral and earning millions in free publicity. By 2020, he sold Aviation Gin for $610 million and revolutionized telecom with Mint Mobile. But his boldest move came with Wrexham AFC. Rather than just owning a club, he invested in the community, creating a documentary series and driving global attention.

Ken Berenger backed up his bold claim comparing Ryan Reynolds to Steve Jobs with solid facts, but fans were having none of it—trolling Reynolds endlessly while questioning the comparison.

Ryan Reynolds, nowadays usually in the spotlight for his family life with Blake Lively or the Justin Baldoni drama, has now found himself unexpectedly trolled. While he was busy championing Parkinson’s awareness, Reynolds became the subject of a bizarre comparison to Steve Jobs, thanks to Ken Berenger. Fans have since flooded X, questioning the comparison and serving up a masterclass in internet trolling.

Not everyone, however, joined in on the trolling—some fans appreciated the thread, recognizing the entrepreneurial moves behind the comparison.

Ryan Reynolds may be swimming through controversy lately, but beneath the headlines, he continues to serve up sharp performances and even sharper business moves. Hailed as a marketing maverick, Reynolds has morphed from silver-screen star to boardroom brainiac. A viral thread comparing him to Steve Jobs set the internet ablaze—trolls had a field day, but not all responses were jabs. Love him or eye-roll him, Reynolds has cemented his status as an entrepreneurial force with serious staying power.
