Ryan Reynolds Claps Back at Martha Stewart Calling Him "Not So ...

Martha Stewart Says Neighbor Ryan Reynolds Is "Not So Funny" in Real Life

Ryan Reynolds is laughing off Martha Stewart's comments about him.

After the media mogul said that the Deadpool actor is "not so funny in real life," he clapped back on social media—with a joke.

"I’d disagree with her," Ryan, 48, wrote on X Nov. 1, formerly Twitter, about the 83-year-old. "But I tried that once. The woman is unexpectedly spry. She really closed the gap after a mile or so."

Martha had made her comments about the Van Wilder star on Bilt Rewards' Rent Free game show after she was asked which celebrities she thought participants determined to be the most fun to hang out with.

“He’s probably on the list just ‘cause he covers himself up in his movies and you don’t see his face. Ryan Reynolds, is he one of those?" she said. "And you want to know something? He's not so funny in real life. No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious."

Martha then doubled down and provided her own ranking of celebs who are most fun to hang out with, after learning that respondents did in fact list Ryan, along with Taylor Swift and the lifestyle guru's longtime friend Snoop Dogg.

"Taylor, and then I would do Snoop, and then I would take Ryan off it," she said, "and I would put in, uh, somebody else."

She said she would replace Ryan on the list with George Clooney, adding, "Because he's fun. George is really nice to hang out with."

Martha also noted that Ryan is a "good actor" who can "act funny."

"But he isn't funny," she said. "Maybe he can get to be funny again."

The TV personality added, "I'm going to get in trouble. He's my neighbor."

Martha has lived near Ryan and wife Blake Lively, parents of four, for years near Bedford, New York.

"I love it when Blake Lively comes over to my house," Martha said in a 2014 interview with the Gossip Girl alum posted on her YouTube page. "You haven't been over for a while, but you came for Easter and we had such a good time and so did your nieces and nephews and it was very fun to have you, and Ryan."

Blake said that Martha had told Ryan she would ride motorcycles with him, joking, "That's the only woman that could creep up on my man, that I would be okay with."

Ryan and Blake have both showcased their senses of humor over the years by playfully trolling each other online. Read on to see some of their best work...

The actress trolled her husband as he attended a particularly gripping match for his soccer team, Wrexham AFC. The Welsh football club, of which he is a co-owner, played against Sheffield United during the fourth round of the FA Cup.

"I bought espn+ today," Blake wrote on her Instagram Story. "Just to watch my husband experience crippling anxiety live. Worth it."

In an ad for his company Mint Mobile, Ryan asked for Blake to come out and talk about the brand's family plan. However, a stand-in for the actress appeared instead.

As Lively joked on Instagram in July 2022, "Darling, if you charged more, you could afford me. Sorry, your real wife." And when he claimed he was "revolutionizing the category," she replied, "@vancityreynolds, my love, feel free to revolutionize the couch when you sleep on it tonight!!"

The spouses got their COVID-19 vaccines in March 2021 and used the opportunity to troll each other. Ryan wore a beanie while getting the shot and surveyed fans over who looked better in the hat, him or his life while filming her 2020 movie The Rhythm Section.

Blake later took a subtle dig at the actor, sharing a pic of herself getting vaccinated and writing, "Find you someone who looks at you like I look at the heroic nurse vaccinating me."

In March 2021, Ryan watched his and Blake's 2011 film Green Lantern, tweeting, "I only ever read my parts of the script so this is genuinely exciting for me to watch." He later wrote, "Hey @BlakeLively is in this movie!!"

He also shared a photo of himself taking a picture of the screen, which shows a scene with him and Blake. The actor, who shares four kids with his wife, wrote, "This was not bad foreshadowing for my life as a dad."

In December 2020, after seeing a video on the Frida Mom Instagram page that advised new moms about "what d--ks to avoid" after giving birth, Ryan just couldn't help but give Blake a shout-out, commenting "I'd tag @blakelively but I'm afraid that might not go well for me."

Also in December 2020, Blake shared on her Instagram Story four of her "favorite things in the world" from Vancouver—a bunch of desserts.

Blake, whose husband was born in the Canadian city, then jokingly teased her followers, "...Who did you think I was gonna say??" However, she did give her superhero a subtle nod with a Deadpool GIF in the corner.  

E!

In August 2020, after it was reported that Ryan had sold his co-owned liquor company Aviation American Gin for $610 million, he celebrated the only way he knew how: He penned a snarky "Out of Office" e-mail that addressed his wife, Dwayne Johnson, Betty White, AMC Theaters, Total Wine and TGI Friday's among others in a apology email.

"I just learned what an 'earn out' is... And I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone I told to go f--k themselves in the last 24 hours," he wrote. "The point is, to those listed below, I'm sorry... and I'll indeed be needing your help in the coming months and years."

When Ryan posted a promo pic for his gin company in July 2020, Blake, being a supportive wife, commented, "I think this just got me pregnant."

But fans were left disappointed when her husband promptly replied with an "out of the office" message. "I will be out of the office starting July 22nd through the middle of forever and ever," his message stated. "If you need immediate assistance during by absence, please contact someone. Anyone. Otherwise I will respond to your message as soon as possible upon my unlikely return. Thank you."

The Initial Post: In April 2020, Blake poked fun at Ryan's quarantine hairdo, posting a photo of his baby man-bun to her Instagram Stories. "I dare you to forget this every time you see him for the rest of eternity," she quipped in her caption.

The Counter Post: The Deadpool star shared the image to his own Instagram Stories, writing, "Clearly your birth control doesn't work, so..."

When Ryan gave his trainer Don Saladino a shout-out about at-home workouts, Blake naturally seized the opportunity to poke fun at the post, noting that the fitness pro's shirtless promo felt very Tinder-esque.

Reposting his original story to her account, she replied, "@vancityreynolds I keep swiping right. This isn't working," adding, "Oh…swipe UP."

Never forget when Ryan decided to celebrate her big day in 2019 by posting not one, not two but 10 less-than-flattering photos of her in an Instagram carousel...which we will now re-post a few of, obviously.

Blake returned the favor when it came to Ryan's 41st birthday in 2017, with her husband even admitting how "awesome" her Instagram post was. "Happy Birthday, baby," she wrote alongside a pic of Ryan Gosling with her Ryan cropped out at the Critics' Choice Awards.

Ah, revenge is sweet.

While promoting A Simple Favor, Blake had to deal with Ryan tweeting at her for spoilers about what happened to her missing character. "You can tell me. We're married" he wrote. "You once drove me to the hospital when you were giving birth. So... what the f--k happened to Emily?"

In response, Blake tweeted, "Oh darling, of all the secrets I'm keeping from you, this should be the LEAST of your concerns... trust me."

After Blake gifted Ryan an original Danny Galieote painting, the Buried actor posted a heartfelt thank you, almost making it through the entire caption without a joke. "This piece of art is the greatest present my wife has ever given me," he wrote. "If there's ever a fire, I'm grabbing this first. I'll come back for Blake."

Hey, at least he said he'd come back for her?

In 2019, Aviation Gin was ranked as one of the best celebrity spirits by drink experts VinePair, so Ryan did what anyone else would do: Posted about the achievement on social media. A lot. Which, prompted Blake to poke fun.

"My husband has no chill," she wrote on her Instagram Story, showing her followers that Ryan didn't waste any time to point out his brand's ranking. "…Literally 37 mins later."

She also shared a screenshot from the Aviation Gin Instagram, which posted VinePair's original article and review of the brand. She sarcastically wrote, "…In case you missed it?"

When divorce rumors popped up in 2018, Ryan used his Aviation Gin out-of-office email to poke fun at the reports. Posting his schedule, Ryan devoted much of his Monday  to gym, tan and laundry, and, that night, he attended a screening of Blake's movie, A Simple Favor. The planner noted, "No divorce jokes!!"

An hour later though, he scheduled himself to, "Sneak out of MOMA screening to regroup. It can't all be about you. This is her moment. Get it together, asshole."

In June 2018, Blake posted a poster for her movie A Simple Favor with co-star Anna Kendrick and wrote, "@annakendrick47 is the hotter, female(r) version of my husband...so, would it really count as cheating??"

Ryan, of course, inserted his own two cents. "The most ambitious crossover event in history," he quipped. "I'll miss you both. Tell my story."
