Kevin Costner’s Reaction to Ryan Reynolds’ SNL50 Baldoni Joke Goes Viral
Over the weekend, I couldn’t help but be swept up in the buzz surrounding Kevin Costner’s response to Ryan Reynolds‘ quip about the Justin Baldoni scandal at the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special. It was a moment that had me on the edge of my seat!
At the event where Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were hosting, Reynolds sat beside his wife Blake Lively. In response to their casual greeting, ‘How’s it going?’, Reynolds gave a dry response, ‘I’m doing great – what seems to be the news?’ This subtle remark was a reference to the continuing legal dispute involving Baldoni, one of Lively’s co-stars in It Ends with Us, which has been widely covered in the media.
Behind Reynolds and Lively, the Oscar-winning Costner appeared to show disapproval at the light treatment of the grave accusations, which encompass charges of sexual misconduct and defamation.
Fans quickly took to social media to share the SNL clip, commenting on Costner’s expression.
Another user commented, ‘We’re more like Kevin Costner here. Blake and Ryan need to provide some clarification. And let’s make it clear, their actions towards Justin Baldoni were absolutely not amusing. #SNL50’
Another chimed in, ‘No mercy for Ryan Reynolds from Kevin Costner at #SNL50.’
Another user mentioned that Kevin Costner and Cher seemed interested in the rumors, yet they chose not to participate.
Another individual commented, ‘Wasn’t it Ryan Reynolds’ humor that seemed to fall flat on the person next to Kevin Costner?’
At this recent event, it was Lively’s first appearance on the red carpet in two months; the previous one took place just before the controversy involving Baldoni, aged 41, came to a head towards the end of last year.
The legal disputes persist as Lively alleges sexual harassment against Baldoni in a court case. Meanwhile, Baldoni retaliates with a countersuit worth $400 million, claiming defamation and extortion against Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist Leslie Sloane.
Baldoni refutes Lively’s accusations, whereas Lively, Reynolds, and Sloane all reject Baldoni’s counter-claims. (This version maintains the original’s structure while using simpler language.)
One user of the X platform seemed to acknowledge this detail in their comment about Costner’s expression: ‘Kevin’s facial expression is invaluable. Given that Kevin has authored and produced films, it’s likely he felt repulsed.’
On December 11, 2024, Lively made her final red carpet appearance at the Beauty Inc Awards in New York City. This event took place a few weeks prior to the legal dispute with Baldoni that followed.
Despite several months of intense public scrutiny, Lively and Reynolds made a joint appearance at the Saturday Night Live event held at Rockefeller Plaza, showing a united facade to the world.
On social media, people couldn’t help but take notice of the couple’s appearance, with numerous users expressing their dissatisfaction, often alluding to the claims that Baldoni had brought up in court concerning the movie.
One person commented, ‘It’s a nice try by SNL to handle the situation with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, but their efforts will be ineffective.’
Another comment read, ‘Gross. So they’re supporting the bullies too.’
Some people expressed their disapproval towards the couple, with one commenting, ‘Reynolds’ eagerness is becoming apparent,’ while another put it, ‘They’ve become quite awkward now…’
This past evening, I found myself completely starstruck when Kevin Costner gracefully sauntered into the SNL 50th Anniversary Special. He exuded an irresistible charisma in his sleek, all-black ensemble.
The award-winning actor, aged 70, walked the red carpet alone at 30 Rockefeller Center, disregarding recent rumors that connected him with several prominent figures in Hollywood, such as Jewel and Sharon Stone.
Despite recent whispers about his love life involving famous names like Jewel and Sharon Stone within the Hollywood elite, the Oscar-winning actor graced the red carpet at 30 Rockefeller Center on his own.
After parting ways with his estranged wife Christine Baumgartner in May 2023 following 18 years of marriage, Kevin Costner has taken on the unattached lifestyle with a sense of self-assurance and elegance.
With a stylish modern suit, a casual open-necked shirt, and fashionable, up-to-date eyeglasses, he exuded an air of relaxed sophistication on the red carpet.
Following the frenzy of excitement generated by Costner’s popular appearances at Super Bowl events, he could be spotted socializing at pre-games, on the field itself, and at post-games, sharing moments with numerous big names in Hollywood.
