Golden Girls star and American comedy icon Betty White has died at the age of 99, and Hollywood (and the world) is taking the loss hard on this final day of the year 2021. Ryan Reynolds had a longstanding friendship with Betty White – and in fact, the two were just making headlines a day ago when White’s joke about Ryan Reynolds’ crush on her turned into a viral PR moment on social media. With the news of Betty White’s death now out there in the public, Ryan Reynolds is understandably grief-stricken, and shared his initial thoughts with fans:
The world looks different now. She was great at defying expectation. She managed to grow very old and somehow, not old enough. We’ll miss you, Betty. Now you know the secret. pic.twitter.com/uevwerjobS
I’m absolutely sick of the media exploiting past relationships just to drive clicks. https://t.co/xV8v2vVvXB
