Billy Crystal Pays Homage to 'When Harry Met Sally' Role in Honor of His Birthday
The actor turned 75.
Billy Crystal celebrated his 75th birthday by recreating an iconic look.
To thank fans and friends for their birthday wishes, Crystal tweeted a picture of himself wearing a white knitted sweater, blue jeans, and beaten up white sneakers that are nearly identical to the items he wore in When Harry Met Sally.
"Thank you all," he wrote in the tweet.
The account for the Merriam-Webster dictionary was impressed, replying with the definition of icon.
Curb Your Enthusiasm's Richard Lewis left a kind message for the actor under the tweet. "Finally, you’re my age. You’re a blessed artist. I’m proud to have started our comedic journey together," he wrote. "I started reading your accomplishments 17 weeks ago and I’m just about halfway done. Far and away your greatest success is your wondrous family. Love from the Lewises."
Ben Stiller also left a sweet message, writing, "Lots of love and respect @BillyCrystal ??????."
To celebrate, fans also replied with their own recreations of the iconic When Harry Met Sally outfit.
It'll be 34 years in July since Crystal starred in the classic rom-com, that catapulted him to the A-list.
In a 2019 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Crystal looked back at what turned When Harry Met Sally into such a beloved movie.
"It's an amazing movie, I have to say, because there's no plot," he said. "In typical romantic movies, they go through so much. There's adversity, [like] he had to move, he got drafted, he's in the army, he came back, they found each other again. The obstacle in this movie is themselves."
