‘UNEXPECTEDLY SPRY’

Ryan Reynolds Fires Back After Martha Stewart Says He’s ‘Not So Funny’

Reynolds’ cheeky rejoinder came in an X post on Saturday.

Ryan Reynolds has returned fire after Martha Stewart said the Deadpool star was “not so funny in real life.” Stewart got candid on the game show Rent Free when she was trying to guess what celebrities respondents had selected as the most fun person to hang out with. Although she was certain that her good friend Snoop Dogg would be on the list, Stewart was less effusive in her prediction that Reynolds would show up. “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 said. “And you want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life,” she added. “No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious.” When pressed on her surprising take, Stewart doubled down: “He can act funny, but he isn’t funny. Maybe he can get to be funny again.” Reynolds wasn’t going to let Stewart get the last laugh, however. His rejoinder came in the form of a light-hearted X post on Saturday, in which he 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.”
