Ryan Reynolds has reacted to Martha Stewart’s surprising remarks about him in his trademark humorous fashion.
The beloved actor is cherished by fans globally. If you ask anyone familiar with him about his most endearing quality, humor is likely to be their answer, although his looks and acting prowess are also contenders.
At 48, with four children, he represents the complete package, something his wife Blake Lively would likely affirm.
Ryan is a legend in the eyes of many, and his fans would likely attest to his quick-witted nature.
However, one person who holds a different view is his neighbor Martha Stewart, who shared her opinion on the Bilt Rewards Rent Free game show.
As a special guest, the former model-turned-cookbook-author answered questions about her celebrity friends and acquaintances.
The 83-year-old was asked to identify who she believed the show’s viewers would find most enjoyable to spend time with. She immediately mentioned her close friend Snoop Dogg.
She then included Reynolds in her guesses, assuming people perceive him as funny, though she herself does not.
“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?” Stewart remarked.
She continued to critique the Deadpool star.
“And you want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life,” Stewart asserted. “No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious.”
She mentioned her choices would have been Brad Pitt and George Clooney instead.
As the show progressed, Stewart further elaborated on her tough opinion of Reynolds.
“He’s a good actor,” she noted. “He can act funny, but he isn’t funny. Maybe he can get to be funny again.”
“I’m going to get in trouble,” she confessed. “He’s my neighbor.”
While her comments might stir reactions from his fans, it’s doubtful Reynolds, known for his cool demeanor, would retaliate or engage in disputes with elderly individuals.
Responding to a meme on Twitter about Stewart’s view of him, he humorously 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.”
His response might resonate with fans who imagine it in his signature tone, reminiscent of Deadpool vs Wolverine.
Stewart’s candid opinion on Reynolds sparked mixed reactions on social media.
“Martha’s out here spilling tea for no reason and I love the chaotic energy,” commented one Twitter user.
Conversely, another fan argued: “If someone can act funny they are funny.”
Another person remarked: “I mean I’m all for a good drag but because somebody is your neighbor doesn’t mean they have to entertain you and make you cry with laughter when putting the bins out.”
