Ryan Reynolds Claps Back at Martha Stewart’s ‘Not Funny’ Remarks

Ryan Reynolds recently addressed Martha Stewart’s assertion that he is “not so funny in real life.” In a light-hearted retort, the iconic star of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” 48, conveyed his disagreement, tweeting, “I’d disagree with her. But I tried that once,” in response to a video clip of Stewart, 83, discussing his comedic persona during Bilt Rewards’ November “Rent Free” game show.

He further remarked, “The woman is unexpectedly spry. She really closed the gap after a mile or so,” showcasing his characteristic wit.

Stewart’s comments were made while she sought to identify which celebrities respondents deemed most enjoyable to spend leisure time with. In her musings, she speculated, “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 then candidly stated, “And you want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life. No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious,” insisting on her viewpoint while later reinforcing it by saying, “He’s a good actor. He can act funny, but he isn’t funny.”

With a glint of humor, she remarked, “Maybe he can get to be funny again … I’m going to get in trouble,” evidencing no malice in her characterizations of Reynolds. Their rapport spans over a decade, originating when Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, 37, acquired a property in close proximity to Stewart’s Bedford, NY estate.

In a prior interview concerning their relationship, Stewart expressed her fondness for the couple, affirming them as “very friendly, very nice people,” and noting Lively’s “shy” demeanor.

“I’ve only ever found her to be completely generous and kind,” Lively told the *Los Angeles Times*, underscoring Stewart’s innate ability to foster connections among individuals.
