Ryan Reynolds Reacts to Martha Stewart Saying He’s “Not So Funny in Real Life”
Ryan Reynolds has taken to social media to react to Martha Stewart claiming he’s “not so funny in real life.”
The Deadpool & Wolverine star responded to her surprising comments in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, writing, “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.”

This week, during an appearance on Bilt Rewards’ November Rent Free game show, Stewart told Bilt CEO and founder Ankur Jain that Reynolds is “very serious.” Her remarks came after she was asked which celebrities she thought Bilt members named as “the most fun to hang out with.”
While the celebrity chef agreed with her friend Snoop Dogg being on the list, as well as Taylor Swift, she wasn’t completely sold on Reynolds.
“He’s probably on the list just ‘cause he covers himself up in his movies and you don’t see his face,” Stewart said at the time before adding, “And you want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life. No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious.”
She later noted that Reynolds, who is also her neighbor, is “a good actor. He can act funny, but he isn’t funny. Maybe he can get to be funny again.”
As for who Stewart would put on the list alongside Snoop and Swift, she said, “George Clooney, ‘cause he’s fun. George is really nice to hang out with.”
Stewart is currently promoting her new cookbook, Martha: The Cookbook: 100 Favorite Recipes, with Lessons and Stories from My Kitchen, which hits bookshelves on Oct. 22. R.J. Cutler’s Netflix documentary Martha also premiered Wednesday.
