Meg Ryan Roasts Billy Crystal Over Orgasm Scene in ‘When Harry Met Sally’
While honoring Billy Crystal at the Kennedy Center Honors, Meg Ryan took a sarcastic jab at her 'When Harry Met Sally' co-star over their iconic diner orgasm scene
Nearly 35 years after the release of When Harry Met Sally, Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal are still bickering about that orgasm. Ryan helped honor her former co-star at Sunday night's Kennedy Center Honors in Washington D.C., where the actress made a cheeky reference to the diner scene from their beloved 1989 romantic comedy, in which Ryan's character Sally fakes an orgasm at the table with Crystal's Harry.
"The scene came really natural to me and I really have Billy to thank for that," Ryan said. "I’ve never been around anyone who made faking an orgasm easier."
Jokes aside, Ryan praised Crystal in front of a crowd that included President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at the ceremony, which honors those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to culture.
"Acting with Billy was effortless," Ryan gushed. "The characters just came alive. And just meeting him, I don't know, how could you not love Billy Crystal?"
Ryan continued, "If you take out all of Harry's flaws, what you have underneath is pure Billy. And what he brings to all of his characters is heart. Harry is his heart because Billy listens to his. As his wife Janice has known for over 50 years, falling in love with Billy is a pretty easy thing to do."
