Hugh Jackman has jokingly agreed with Martha Stewart after she branded his friend and co-star Ryan Reynolds “not funny”.

The ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ star wasn’t impressed when the 83-year-old lifestyle guru – who he lives close to in Bedford, New York – claimed his wisecracking ways were part of an act but joked it wouldn’t be wise to “disagree” with her.

Martha admitted she was “going to get in trouble” when she dissed “serious” Ryan.

Asked during an appearance on Bilt Rewards’ ‘Rent Free’ game show which top three celebrities would be the most fun to hang out with, she mused: “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?

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

“He’s a good actor.

“He can act funny, but he isn’t funny. Maybe he can get to be funny again.

“I’m going to get in trouble. He’s my neighbour.”

Responding to Martha’s viral comments, the 48-year-old actor wrote 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.”
