While the universe’s unseen majority may be a cosmic pill to swallow, accepting Ryan Reynolds as unfunny is a joke in itself that is taking eons to land. With a Hollywood career built on laugh-out-loud moments, Reynolds has become synonymous to comedic gold. But Tinseltown is an endless giver of plot twists, and one universally startling one was made by Martha Stewart a month ago, citing Reynolds’ lack of humor that fans could barely wrap their heads around. 

In an even more shocking about-face, Reynolds recently substantiated the claims, sharing an anecdote about his father that further solidifies Stewart’s stance.

In a recent candid conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Ryan Reynolds tackled the tantalizing topic of Martha Stewart’s scathing remark about his off-screen humor or lack thereof. When asked if Stewart’s words were hurtful, Reynolds surprisingly did not attempt to debunk the claim. Instead, he revealed a more vulnerable side, attributing his inherent anxiety to his father, Jim Reynolds, who had a stoic approach to emotions.

“I don’t think what happened was designed to hurt anyone,” Reynolds reflected on what he believes is a genuinely valid observation on him. He threw the ball in Stewart’s court, affirming she is not the only one. Reynolds lifted the curtain on the disparity between his on-screen charm and off-screen introversion, admitting he frequently walks a tightrope between being himself and succumbing to anxiety. While he opens up in a close-knit gathering, he freezes up in crowded rooms of strangers. 

Ryan Reynolds Responds to Martha Stewart’s Unfunny Claims With a Choking Disagreement

While his words were not exactly surprising because no matter his Marvel Jesus tag, he is only human, Reynolds was not the only one to corroborate the claim.

After Martha Stewart left the world baffled a month ago by snatching the funny badge from the punchline king, Ryan Reynolds, the actor initially addressed the claims with the wittiest retort. But soon, members of Reynolds’ funny squad, like Hugh Jackman, began throwing their picks in the ring, and no points for guessing, but Canucklehead’s allegiance was not on Deadpool’s side. Rather, shortly after, Jackman doubled down on it, agreeing with Stewart, writing, “Finally someone says it.”

Reynolds and Jackman have engaged in their playful feud for years, and even after Deadpool & Wolverine, they have barely left the characters. The film was a front-row seat to their unparalleled comedic parlance, and just when fans thought a witty reunion may take some time, Stewart catalyzed one inadvertently. While Reynolds’ unexpected testimony has sparked concerns about whether he lost his comedic license, fans might as well leave it on Jackman to summon the humor authorities to reevaluate his funnyman credentials.
