Hugh Jackman has jokingly agreed with Martha Stewart after she branded his friend and costar Ryan Reynolds ‘not funny.’

The playfully harsh words were the perfect opening for Jackman, 56, as he and Reynolds have carried on a comical faux-feud in public for years.

Reynolds wasn’t impressed when the 83-year-old lifestyle guru — whom 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?

Jackman has carried on a comical faux-feud with Reynolds in recent years, so Stewart’s comments were the perfect opportunity for him to lodge a humorous quip

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

However, Stewart conceded that Reynolds was a ‘good actor.’

‘He can act funny, but he isn’t funny,’ she clarified, adding, ‘Maybe he can get to be funny again.’

Then Stewart worried she was ‘going to get in trouble’ because Reynolds is her ‘neighbor.’

Responding to her viral comments, the 48-year-old Green Lantern star wrote on X: ‘I’d disagree with her. But I tried that once.’

He continued: ‘The woman is unexpectedly spry. She really closed the gap after a mile or so.’

And now, Jackman, who costarred with Reynolds in the recent blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, has reacted on social media.

In a reply to Reynolds’ post on X, the X-Men star quipped: ‘Finally someone says it.’

But Jackman was hilariously relieved to hear her unvarnished take on his frenemy

Stewart was asked what celebrities she thought respondents named as the most fun to hang out with. ‘He’s probably on the list just ’cause he covers himself up in his movies and you don’t see his face,’ Martha said about Ryan to Bilt CEO Ankur Jain

Reynolds and his actress wife Blake Lively, 37, own a $2 million home near Stewart’s 153-acre property, and she became friends with the couple as soon as they bought their house in her neighborhood.

She told HuffPost in 2014: ‘(Blake) moved into my neighborhood a couple of years ago with Ryan — before they got married, they bought a house right around the corner from my house.

‘And they started to come over, not to borrow sugar, but just as friends,’ she shared.  ‘They’re very friendly, very nice people. In a way, kind of shy — not shy on the screen, at all, if you’ve seen any of Blake’s movies — but very shy in person.’

During her appearance on Rent Free, Martha also named Brad Pitt and George Clooney as celebrities she would like to hang out with, even though they were not on the list.

The three top answers were then revealed as Taylor Swift, Reynolds, and Martha’s good pal Snoop Dogg.

Martha said she would take Ryan off the list and put in Clooney in third place instead, moving Snoop up on the list. ”Cause he’s fun. George is really nice to hang out with,’ she said.

Reynold’s has starred in a number of comedies, including National Lampoon’s Van Wilder (2002), Waiting… (2005), The Proposal (2009), Spirited (2022) and Free Guy (2021), as well as his three Deadpool films: Deadpool (2016), Deadpool 2 (2018) and Deadpool & Wolverine (2024).

‘And you want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life,’ she then added of Blake Lively’s husband. ‘No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious’

When Ankur said he was ‘so surprised that [he] isn’t funny,’ Martha said: ‘He’s a good actor. He can act funny, but he isn’t funny’

‘I’m going to get in trouble,’ Martha chimed in, adding, ‘he’s my neighbor’; Ryan pictured in 2024

Stewart was on the game show to promote her new cookbook, Martha: The Cookbook: 100 Favorite Recipes, with Lessons and Stories from My Kitchen, released October 22.

The Netflix documentary about her life, titled Martha, was also released in October, but the star revealed she ‘hated’ the final scenes and believed the second half to be ‘a bit lazy’.

The businesswoman’s life is put under the spotlight in the film by R.J. Cutler, which traces her rise from a teenage model to her reign as the original influencer and America’s first self-made female billionaire.

While the documentary has already made numerous headlines thanks to Martha’s candor about her 29-year marriage to her ex-husband Andy and their extra-marital affairs, the mogul isn’t pleased with the project.

In a new no-holds barred interview, Martha detailed the numerous elements she was unhappy with – including unflattering camera angles and various anecdotes left on the cutting room floor.

‘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,’ she raged.

‘I hate those last scenes. Hate them.’

Speaking to The New York Times, Martha explained that she had ruptured her Achilles’ tendon and had recently had an operation, hence the limping.

‘But again, he [R.J.] doesn’t even mention why — that I can live through that and still work seven days a week,’ she quipped.

Martha was particularly irritated about R.J. using the ‘ugliest’ camera angle, despite her insisting that he should change it.

‘He had three cameras on me,’ she said. ‘And he chooses to use the ugliest angle. And I told him, ‘Don’t use that angle! That’s not the nicest angle. You had three cameras. Use the other angle.’ He would not change that.’

If that wasn’t enough, Martha expressed upset over the documentary’s music too, confessing that she would have preferred if rap music had been used rather than the classical score that R.J. went for. vvvv
