Martha Stewart on Ryan Reynolds: ‘Not So Funny in Real Life’
Ryan Reynolds is adorable! Whether he’s smirking through Mint Mobile commercials, buying up quaint Wales towns with superpal Rob McElhenney or decapitating faceless Marvel minions with a smart-ass quip, the actor is the face of self-satisfied charm. Who doesn’t love Ryan Reynolds?
Well, Martha Stewart for starters.
The vitriol came out when Stewart appeared on Bilt Rewards’ Rent Free game show, per PEOPLE. Stewart was asked which celebrities she thought respondents had named as the most fun to hang out with and Reynolds’ name came to mind — but for all the wrong reasons. “He’s probably on the list just because he covers himself up in his movies, and you don’t see his face — Ryan Reynolds, is he one of those?” she asked before making it clear that Reynolds wouldn’t be on her personal tally of great hangs. “You want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life. No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious.”

Stewart "would take Ryan off, and I would put in somebody else” — maybe George Clooney, Taylor Swift, Brad Pitt or best friend forever Snoop Dogg.
What’s Stewart’s problem with Reynolds? “He’s a good actor,” she admitted. “He can act funny, but he isn’t funny. Maybe he can get to be funny again. ... I’m going to get in trouble."
It’s not clear exactly what the beef is about, but it appears personal, not professional. Stewart and Reynolds are neighbors in Bedford, New York, and it sounds like they’ve gotten into it over something. Unraked leaves? Holiday decorations left up too long? Unpaid neighborhood association dues?
“I’d disagree with her. But I tried that once,” Reynolds clapped back this weekend on Twitter. “The woman is unexpectedly spry. She really closed the gap after a mile or so.”
Hugh Jackman had his Deadpool and Wolverine costar’s back. “Finally someone says it,” he applauded in the replies.
Reynolds’ Twitter followers were here for the beef, with one noting that they “did not have a ‘get off my lawn’ level feud between Ryan Reynolds & Martha Stewart on my 2024 bingo card.”
The Free Guy actor better watch his back, warned another. “She’s been to prison, so do’'t mess with her. She’ll shank you in the laundry room while baking a cake.”
“The day you cross Martha,” said another reply, “is gonna be the day that Martha smokes two different things at once.”
