The Wall Street Journal\u2019s CMO Council Summit<\/a> on Tuesday, reflecting on some of the misfires that ultimately shaped his path. <\/p>\n\u201c[Give me] an example of something that didn\u2019t work out for you?\u201d Banikarim asked.<\/p>\n
Reynolds jokingly responded, \u201cHigh school. Definitely that.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI think creatively speaking, it\u2019s hard to say, someone might say \u2018Green Lantern,\u2019\u201d he said \u2014 a comment that drew laughter from the crowd. He added that the movie is his son\u2019s \u201cfavorite movie\u201d of his, a detail that amused the audience even more.<\/p>\n
