“You want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life,” she said. “No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious,” she said. “He’s a good actor. He can act funny, but he isn’t funny. Maybe he can get to be funny again.”

Her words prompted a response from Ryan himself, who replied, “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.”
