Martha Stewart is not about to fake a laugh for anyone — even her famous neighbors.

The 83-year-old homemaking mogul wasn’t shy about her true opinion of neighbor Ryan Reynolds during her appearance at the Bilt Rewards’ November Rent Free Game Show.

During the online event, Stewart was asked to guess who viewers would put on the list of celebrities who were fun to be around.

“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.

The entrepreneur didn’t stop there, sharing more of her thoughts about the Deadpool actor.

“You want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life,” she said.

Stewart, who was speaking with BILT CEO Ankur Jain during the online show, explained further: “No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious.”

The crafting icon added that her opinion on his humor was not an indictment on him as a professional actor.

‘He’s a good actor. He can act funny, but he isn’t funny,” she said. “Maybe he can get to be funny again.”

Stewart said she was “going to get in trouble,” for what she said about Reynolds.

Reynolds, however, was a good sport, playing along with a response on X.

“I’d disagree with her. But I tried that once. The woman is unexpectedly spry. She really closed the gap after a mile or so,” he wrote.
Stewart recently made headlines for opening up about her ex-husband Andrew Stewart — and divulged some intimate details about their early relationship.

Stewart started dating Andrew when she was 19. The two were set up by Andrew’s sister, who attended Barnard with the lifestyle mogul.
“He picked me up in his little yellow Mercedes sedan. I had never been in a Mercedes before,” she said in the new Netfilx documentary Martha. “We went out to dinner. He was very polite and handsome, and he had traveled a lot. It was exciting to meet a sophisticated young man. And he had an American Express card, which was a very big deal in those days.”

She also went into details about losing her virginity to Andrew. “I had never slept with anybody before this,” she shared. “He was very aggressive and I liked it.”

The two were married in 1961, and ultimately finalized their divorce in 1990. The documentary revealed that both she and Andrew had had extra marital affairs before they ended their relationship.

Stewart slammed the documentary and director R.J. Cutler in an interview with the New York Times, published Wednesday, October 30.
“R.J. had total access, and he really used very little,” she said, adding, that. “Iit was just shocking.”

She also said she had wanted the final scenes of the film removed.

“Those last scenes with me looking like a lonely old lady walking hunched over in the garden? Boy, I told him to get rid of those. And he refused. I hate those last scenes. Hate them.”
