Nowadays, Ryan Reynolds [1] is one half of a crazy-cute Hollywood couple [2], but Ryan first found fame in the '90s, long before he became Blake Lively [3]'s significant other. In the era of Two Guys and a Girl and Van Wilder, he made multiple appearances on MTV's TRL, wore some very '90s tinted glasses, and hung out with stars like Keri Russell [4], Jessica Biel [5], and his ex Alanis Morissette.
