Ryan Reynolds isn’t going to let Martha Stewart get the last laugh.
The Deadpool & Wolverine star, 48, responded to Stewart’s viral comments about him being “not so funny” off-screen as he is on-screen in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Nov. 2.
After Stewart, 83, made the statement on Bilt Rewards’ November Rent Free game show about Reynolds, who she said is her neighbor in Bedford, N.Y., Reynolds wrote, “I’d disagree with her. But I tried that once.”
“The woman is unexpectedly spry. She really closed the gap after a mile or so,” he added.
During her Rent Free appearance, Stewart was asked by Bilt CEO and founder Ankur Jain which celebrities she thought respondents had named as the most fun to hang out with.
“He’s probably on the list just ‘cause he covers himself up in his movies and you don’t see his face — Ryan Reynolds, is he one of those?” she asked, before adding: “And you want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life. No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious.”
After sharing that her personal picks would’ve been Brad Pitt and George Clooney — and mentioning the likes of Snoop Dogg and Taylor Swift — Stewart admitted she “would take Ryan off [the list]and I would put in somebody else.”
“He’s a good actor,” the lifestyle guru further acknowledged of Reynolds. “He can act funny, but he isn’t funny. Maybe he can get to be funny again … I’m going to get in trouble.”
