Ryan Reynolds is unlikely to make Martha Stewart laugh anytime soon.

The lifestyle expert, 83, admitted that her neighbor, the Deadpool & Wolverine star, 48, isn’t as fun in person.

The businesswoman served as a special guest for Bilt Rewards‘ November’s free rental game show, when asked which celebrities he thought respondents named as the most fun to hang out with.

“He’s probably on the list simply because he covers himself up in his movies and you don’t see his face. Ryan Reynolds, is he one of those?” Martha, who recently criticized Netflix’s ‘lazy’ documentary about her life, told Bilt CEO Ankur Jain.

—And do you want to know something? “He’s not as fun in real life,” she added about Blake Lively’s husband.

‘No, he’s not that funny. “He is very serious,” Martha shared.

When Ankur said he was “very surprised it wasn’t funny,” Martha said, “He’s a good actor.” He may act strange, but he’s not funny.

“Maybe I can be funny again,” he added, while Ankur said he was “very disappointed.”

“I’m going to get in trouble,” Martha interjected, adding, “he’s my neighbor.”

Martha then named Brad Pitt and George Clooney, even though they weren’t on the list, and said, “I’d like to date those guys.”

The top three answers were then revealed to be Taylor Swift, Ryan, and Martha’s good friend Snoop Dogg.

Martha said she would remove Ryan from the list and place Clooney in third place, moving Snoop up the list.

”Because it’s fun. “George is really nice to hang out with,” he said.

The businesswoman’s life is centered in RJ Cutler’s film, which traces her rise from a teenage model to her reign as America’s original influencer and first self-made female billionaire.

While the documentary has already made numerous headlines thanks to Martha’s candor about her 29-year marriage to ex-husband Andy and her extramarital affairs, the mogul is not happy with the project.

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

—Those last scenes where she looked like a lonely old woman walking hunched over the garden? Wow, I told him to get rid of those. And he refused,’ he became furious.

‘I hate those last scenes. Hate them.’

“But again, he (RJ) doesn’t even mention why: that I can survive that and still work seven days a week,” he joked.

Martha was particularly irritated that RJ used the “uglier” camera angle, even though she insisted that he should change it.

“I had three cameras,” he said. And choose to use the ugliest angle. And I said, ‘Don’t use that angle! That’s not the best angle. You had three cameras. Use the other angle. He wouldn’t change that.’

If that wasn’t enough, Martha also expressed her discomfort with the documentary’s music, confessing that she would have preferred rap music to have been used instead of the classical score that RJ chose.
