The Golden Girl is 99! – videó és szókincs

Ryan Reynolds reignited his feud with Betty White but in tribute to the Golden Girl who celebrated her 99th birthday on 17th January. To commemorate her special day, Ryan posted these funny moments to his Instagram stories.

Ryan captioned the video as: ’We made this 12 years ago. Betty turns 99 today. But she is 100% the funniest person on the planet.’

Ryan and Betty co-starred in the 2009 rom-com, ’The Proposal’ and they filmed this hilarious sketch:

Ryan: Betty, how are you?
Betty: Uh, Brian…
Ryan: Ryan. My name’s Ryan.
Betty: Get me a cup of coffee!
Ryan: You know, my name’s Ryan. We’ve been working together for weeks, months, actually.
Betty: Dan, you’ve been a terrible assistant the whole time. When Betty White says she wants a coffee, you get her XXX cup of coffee.
Ryan: I’m gonna tell you exactly how it is. Okay. You seem like an adorable sweet old lady outside but on the inside? On the inside, you’re like this, this, this seething demon!’

Ryan recalls that there’s another version of this sketch where Betty is much nastier. He thinks that Betty is a one-of-a-kind person, she’s incredibly funny and she has an ability to work blue humor that people just never expect from a woman of her age.

We can experience this character trait of hers in The Proposal Bloopers – extended Gag Reel (2009) when Ryan tells her: ’more time and Betty gets it’ (pointing towards his groins accidentally) and Betty replies: ’I haven’t had it for so long!’ almost immediately!

But how did this national treasure spend her 99th birthday?
As her daily running a mile has been curtailed by COVID and she can’t have visitors either, she fed the two ducks who come to visit her every day. But she is smiling and still have a brilliant sense of humor!
