Ryan Reynolds’ goofy personality might be an act.

Martha Stewart claimed the “Deadpool & Wolverine” star, who happens to be her neighbor, isn’t as dumb as fans think while appearing on Bilt Rewards’ November “Rent Free” game show with founder and CEO Ankur Jain.

“You want to know? He’s not that funny in real life,” stated the lifestyle guru, 83. “No, he’s not that funny. He’s very serious.”

She mentioned Reynolds, 48, while trying to guess who respondents named as the funnest celebrities to hang out with.

“He’s probably on the list because he covers himself up in his movies and you can’t see his face,” she said.

She then guessed if Brad Pitt and George Clooney made the cut – which they didn’t.

“I want to hang out with those guys,” she remarked.

“George is really nice to hang out with,” Stewart later added.

Despite being wrong about Hollywood heartthrobs, Stewart said she was sure her close friend, Snoop Dogg, would be on the list.

“I want to hang out with those guys,” Stweart playfully shared.

When asked to rank her top picks, the “Martha: The Cookbook: 100 Favorite Recipes, with Lessons and Stories from My Kitchen” author ultimately placed “sweetie” Taylor Swift as her top pick, followed by Snoop and then Clooney.

When Jain expressed his shock that Reynolds wasn’t ranked, Stewart doubled down on his thoughts.

“He’s a good actor,” she confirmed. “He may act funny, but he’s not funny.”

“Maybe he can be funny again.”

“I’m going to get in trouble,” she added playfully. “He’s my neighbor.”

Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, own one $2 million home in BedfordNY, which happens to be near Stewart’s 153 hectare property which boasts an orchard, greenhouses and space for horses and donkeys.

Stewart befriended Reynolds and Lively, 37, when they bought a house in her neighborhood.

“She moved into my neighborhood a few years ago with Ryan—before they got married, they bought a house right around the corner from my house. And they started coming over, not to borrow sugar, but just as friends, ” she recalled to HuffPost in 2014.

They later moved into a more private residence, but still live close to Stewart.

“They are very friendly, very nice people,” she added.

“In a way a bit shy – not shy at all on screen if you’ve seen any of Blake’s films – but very shy in person.”
