Martha Stewart says Ryan Reynolds is 'not that funny in real life': 'He's very serious'

Ryan Reynolds may be known for his signature sense of humor, but Martha Stewart claims he's not actually funny.

The homegrown diva shared her thoughts on the same Deadpool and Wolverine star as she served as a special guest for Bilt Rewards November Rent free Game show.

When asked which celebrities she thought respondents named the most fun to hang out with, she told Bilt CEO and founder Ankur Jain that she was sure her good friend Snoop Dogg was on the list.

She then said that Reynolds probably would have made the breakthrough – although she doesn't think he should have.

“He's probably only on the list because he covers up in his movies and you don't see his face – Ryan Reynolds, is he one of those?” she asked.

“And you want to know something? He’s not that funny in real life,” she insisted. “No, he’s not that funny. He’s very serious.”

Stewart revealed that her favorites were Brad Pitt and George Clooney, adding: “I would love to hang out with those guys.”

When Jain mentioned Taylor Swift, Stewart responded, “I was just thinking about men. Taylor Swift is lovely.”

Stewart then said she would place Swift first on the list, followed by Snoop Dogg.

“Then I would take Ryan off and put someone else in,” she continued.

Jain asked who she would add and she replied, “George Clooney, because he's fun. It's really nice to hang out with George.”

“He’s a good actor,” she admitted. “He can be funny, but he’s not funny. Maybe he can be funny again.

“I’m going to get in trouble,” she added. “He’s my neighbor.”
