Betty White says Ryan Reynold ‘can’t get over her’ after working together on ‘The Proposal’ 

Betty White is about to turn 100 years old on January 17, 2022. During a December 2021 interview with People celebrating her life, the Golden Girls star joked about her relationship with fellow actor Ryan Reynolds.

Reynolds and White co-starred with Sandra Bullock in The Proposal over a decade ago. But according to White, Reynolds still carries a torch for her after all these years.

“I’ve heard Ryan can’t get over his thing for me,” White told People. “But Robert Redford is The One.”

Reynolds also participated in celebrating White’s 100th birthday with the publication. He shared that he has been a fan of the iconic actor “for as long as [he] can remember.”

He joked, “I heard that scripts for Golden Girls were only 35 pages, which makes sense because so many of the laughs come from Betty simply looking at her castmates.” He also called White “a typical Capricorn” because she “sleeps all day. Out all night boozing and snacking on men.”
