Martha Stewart Says Neighbor Ryan Reynolds ‘Not That Funny’

Martha Stewart isn’t particularly amused by her neighbor Ryan Reynolds.

The lifestyle guru, who lives next door to the ‘Deadpool’ star and his wife, fellow actor Blake Livelyfrom Bedford, New York, revealed that Reynolds is “not that funny” off-screen.

Stewart appeared on “Rent Free,” a promotional game show from the Bilt Rewards credit card loyalty program, to guess how members of the program responded when asked, “Which celebrity would be the most fun with going out?”

She guessed correctly that Reynolds made the cut, then nipped him in as the pick.

“You want to know something?” she said in a clip shared Saturday by TMZ. “It’s not that funny in real life. No, it’s not that funny. It’s very serious.”

She said she would remove Reynolds from the celebrity list and replace him with “someone else” — specifically, George Clooney, “because he’s fun.”

She admitted that Reynolds has some talent, though.

“He’s a good actor,” she said. “He can act funny. But it’s not funny.”

Stewart added: “I’m going to be in trouble. He is my neighbor.”

After the comments went viral online, Reynolds responded on social media with remarks that might support or refute Stewart’s argument, depending on your perspective.

“I wouldn’t agree with her,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “But I tried that once. The woman is unexpectedly bold. He really closed the gap after a mile or so.”
