Kevin Costner , the acclaimed Hollywood actor, has unexpectedly become a viral hit following his reaction to Ryan Reynolds' joke during the SNL50 celebration. The Deadpool actor, 48, was joined by his wife Blake Lively , 37, at the "SNL50: The Anniversary Special," commemorating half a century of "Saturday Night Live." During a segment with hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Reynolds stood up and quipped, "I have a question.
" To which they replied, "Oh Ryan Reynolds, how's it going? " In a humorous nod to his and Lively's ongoing legal tussle with Justin Baldoni, Reynolds retorted with a straight face, "Great - why, what have you heard? " His remark elicited laughter from the audience before he swiftly continued. However, it was Kevin Costner's expression that stole the show, reports the Mirror . The 70-year-old Yellowstone star, seated just behind Reynolds and Lively, appeared to grimace at the light-hearted treatment of the grave accusations, which involve claims of sexual harassment and smear campaigns.
Social media was abuzz with reactions to Costner's response. One user commented on the incident, while another chimed in, "No mercy for Ryan Reynolds from Kevin Costner at #SNL50." A third shared similar sentiments, noting, "Did I see Kevin Costner sitting next to here [sic]? He didn't look too impressed when Ryan Reynolds made his s*** joke.
" Blake and Justin are involved in a legal dispute over the film adaptation of the popular novel, It Ends With Us. Blake initiated legal proceedings last year, levelling accusations of sexual harassment against her co-star, which she claims caused "severe emotional distress." She further contends that 41-year-old Justin attempted to "destroy" her reputation through what she describes as a defamation campaign.
Justin has consistently rejected all allegations against him and has launched a counterclaim against Blake and her spouse, Ryan, demanding £321 million ($400m) for purported efforts to ruin his reputation and career. This bitter feud has prompted It Ends With Us author Colleen remove all mentions of Blake and Justin from her Instagram account.

Justin's complaint alleges that Blake used her considerable clout as an A-list celebrity to sway the author to her side. Initially, after the lawsuit was filed, Colleen issued a statement supporting Blake; however, she has been conspicuously absent from her Instagram since December. The lawsuit by Justin, accessible on a website hosting his most recent court documents, reveals that the author once shared a closer rapport with him, reportedly telling him, "You are the right person to make this movie.
