Aaron W Reed
- Actor
Aaron Wayne Reed was born to parents Ken and Brenda Reed in San Diego CA, where he spent 4 out of his first 8 years of life battling leukemia. During this time Aaron was introduced to the world of comic books and dreamed of becoming a super hero as a way to overcome his illness.
At the age of 9 his family moved to the small town of Minco, Oklahoma, where he got involved in weightlifting while training for football, a sport until he excelled in until he graduated. He continued with this fitness path until 2001, at the age of 21, he had his first appearance on national TV as the muscle to a mobster in The Discovery Channel Series "Wild Life Wars", by author Terry Gross. Aaron walked away from acting in order to pursue furthering his fitness goals, but the acting never left his mind.
After years of competing and being recognized as the World's Tallest Bodybuilder, standing 6'7", and based on the fundamentals he wrote about in his revolutionary book on performance nutrition called "The SuperNatural Lifestyle", Aaron went on to achieve global recognition.
At 35, Aaron had decided it was time to risk all that he had built and give acting 100% maximum effort by moving to LA to be broke and homeless sleeping in his car, showering at Golds Gym Venice, working hard to network and be ready for a "Big Guy" role. Eventually, the incredibly talented director Shawn Levy found Aaron and gave him an opportunity to play "Dude" in the #1 blockbuster movie "Free Guy" in 2021. This was where fate would cross Aaron's path with Ryan Reynolds and the rest is history! Aaron has been enjoying the wild ride up the Hollywood mountain ever since.
Aaron is best known for his role as "The Juggernaut" in 2024 film Deadpool Wolverine and is humbly grateful for all the people that believed in him.
