Ryan Reynolds has built a reputation for his exceptional sense of humor that resonates with audiences worldwide.

When Martha Stewart made a surprising remark, labeling him as serious and stating he was “not so funny in real life,” Hugh Jackman, who shares the screen with Ryan in Deadpool & Wolverine and is also a close friend, jumped at the chance to poke fun at Ryan’s expense.

“Finally,” Hugh humorously replied on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Someone says it.” His playful jab added to the light-hearted banter surrounding Ryan’s persona.

In response to Martha’s comments, Ryan shared his thoughts on X, stating, “I’d disagree with her,” but added a humorous twist by acknowledging, “I tried that once. The woman is unexpectedly spry. She really closed the gap after a mile or so.” His quick wit shone through, demonstrating his ability to turn criticism into a laugh.

The culinary icon’s remarks were made during an appearance on Bilt Rewards’ November Rent Free game show when she was asked to name celebrities who are the most enjoyable to spend time with. Alongside her friend Snoop Dogg, she included Ryan in her potential list of fun company.

“And you want to know something?” she said, offering her candid opinion about Ryan. “He’s not so funny in real life. He’s very serious.” Her unexpected assessment certainly sparked intrigue among fans and followers.

She further elaborated, “I would take Ryan off it, and I would put in somebody else.” This sparked a playful debate about Ryan’s on-screen versus off-screen personality, leaving fans to wonder about the true essence of his humor.
