Martha Stewart claims neighbor Ryan Reynolds isn’t funny in real life

Ryan Reynolds’ goofy personality could be an act.

Martha Stewart claimed the “Deadpool & Wolverine” star, who happens to be her neighbor, isn’t as bad as fans think when she appears on Bilt Rewards’ “Rent Free” game show in November alongside founder and CEO Ankur Jain.

“You want to know something? It’s not so funny in real life,” said the 83-year-old lifestyle guru. “No, it’s not that funny. It’s very serious.”

She mentioned Reynolds, 48, while trying to guess who respondents listed as the most fun celebrities to date.

“He’s probably only on the list because he covers up in his movies and you don’t see his face,” she joked.

Then she guessed if Brad Pitt and George Clooney were able to pull it off – which they didn’t.

“It’s really nice of him to hang out with George,” Stewart later added.

When asked to rank his top picks, “Martha: The Cookbook: 100 Favorite Recipes, with Lessons and Stories from My Kitchen” The author ultimately placed “sweetie” Taylor Swift as the top choice, followed by Snoop and then Clooney.

When Jain expressed his shock that Reynolds wasn’t ranked, Stewart doubled down on his thoughts.

“He’s a good actor,” she confirmed. “He may act funny, but he’s not funny.”

“Maybe he’ll end up being funny again.”

“I’m going to be in trouble,” she added playfully. “He is my neighbor.”

Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, own a $2 million house in BedfordNY, which happens to be near Stewart’s 153 acre property which boasts an orchard, greenhouses and space for horses and donkeys.

Stewart befriended Reynolds and Lively, 37, when they bought a house in her neighborhood.

“She moved into my neighborhood a few years ago with Ryan—before they got married, they bought a house right around the corner from mine. And they started coming, not to borrow sugar, but just as friends,” she recalled at HuffPost in 2014.

They later moved to a more private residence, but still live close to Stewart.

“They are very friendly, very nice people,” she added.

“Kind of shy – not shy at all on screen if you’ve seen any of Blake’s films – but very shy in person.”
