Burn! Martha Stewart doesn’t think Ryan Reynolds is very funny.
Though known for his comedic acting roles, Reynolds, 48, lacks comedic chops, according to Stewart, 83, who is also the “Deadpool & Wolverine” star’s neighbor.
The iconic homemaker dished her thoughts on Reynolds while appearing as a special guest on Bilt Rewards’ November “Rent Free” game show. The game show, similar to “Family Feud,” is streamed on the credit card company’s mobile app.
When Stewart was asked what celebrities she thought surveyed respondents would choose as the most fun to hang out with, she told Bilt CEO and founder Ankur Jain, 34, that she was confident her close friend Snoop Dogg was high on the list.
The cookbook queen then said Reynolds would likely also be a popular choice.
“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?” Stewart queried.
“And you want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life,” she added. “No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious.”
Stewart went on to say that she’d pick Brad Pitt and George Clooney because “I’d like to hang out with those guys.”
When Jain threw Taylor Swift’s name in the mix, Stewart was all in on the “Fortnight” singer. “I was only thinking men,” she said, explaining why she hadn’t named her. “Taylor Swift is lovely.”
With Taylor on her mind, Stewart put Swift at the top of her list, with Snoop Dogg taking the second spot.
“Then I would take Ryan off it, and I would put in somebody else,” she said.
Asked by Jain who she would add, Stewart replied, “George Clooney, ‘cause he’s fun. George is really nice to hang out with.”
After Jain told Stewart he was surprised she doesn’t find Reynolds funny, she provided some additional context to her opinion.
“He’s a good actor,” she said. “He can act funny, but he isn’t funny. Maybe he can get to be funny again.”
Perhaps realizing the interest her remarks would draw, she added, “I’m going to get in trouble. He’s my neighbor.”
Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, 37, have a home in Bedford, NY, near Stewart’s famed farm.
Stewart took part in Bilt’s “Rent Free” game show as she continues her tour promoting her new cookbook, “Martha: The Cookbook: 100 Favorite Recipes, with Lessons and Stories from My Kitchen,” which was released Oct. 22.
