“He’s not funny” in real life

Burn! Martha Stewart doesn’t think Ryan Reynolds is very funny.

Although known for his comedic acting roles, Reynolds, 48, lacks comedic chops, according to Stewart, 83, who is also the “Deadpool & Wolverine” star’s neighbor.

The iconic housewife shared her thoughts on Reynolds while appearing as a special guest on Bilt Rewards’ “Rent Free” game show in November. The game show, similar to “Family Feud,” will stream on the rewards company’s mobile app.

When Stewart was asked which celebrities she thought respondents would choose as the most fun to hang out with, she told Bilt CEO and founder Ankur Jain, 34, that she was confident her good friend Snoop Dogg would be high on the list. list was.

The cookbook queen then said that Reynolds would likely be a popular choice as well.

“He’s probably on the list just because he covers himself in his movies and you don’t see his face – Ryan Reynolds, is he one of them?” Stewart asked.

‘And do you want to know something? He’s not that funny in real life,” she added. ‘No, he’s not that funny. He is very serious.”

Stewart went on to say that she would choose Brad Pitt and George Clooney because “I would like to hang out with those guys.”

When Jain threw Taylor Swift’s name into the mix, Stewart was all in for the “Fortnight” singer. “I only thought about men,” she said, explaining why she hadn’t given her a name. “Taylor Swift is beautiful.”

With Taylor on her mind, Stewart placed Swift at the top of her list, while Snoop Dogg took the second spot.

“Then I would take Ryan off and put someone else in,” she said.

When asked by Jain who she would add, Stewart replied, “George Clooney, because he’s fun. George is a lot of fun to be around.”

After Jain told Stewart he was surprised she doesn’t find Reynolds funny, she gave some additional context to her opinion.

“He’s a good actor,” she said. ‘He can be funny, but he’s not funny. Maybe he can become funny again.

Perhaps realizing how much interest her comments would generate, she added, “I’m going to get in trouble. He is my neighbor.”
