As you may have heard, the one and only Betty White just celebrated her 97th birthday!
Being vibrant and spirited at 97-years-old is no easy accomplishment, but Betty White is still rocking it!
She was flooded with birthday messages, but our favorite was definitely from Ryan Reynolds.
As you probably know, Ryan Reynolds is Hollywood’s unofficial funny man.
His social media is good for a laugh on a cloudy day — you can always count on him to be cracking a joke or two.
Ryan actually worked with Betty White back in 2009.

I totally forgot that they starred in The Proposal together!
Oh, and the girl from that one Bird Box movie was also there too I think.
But in case you weren’t sure who the star of _The Proposal_ really was, Betty made it clear.
Spoiler alert: the answer isn’t Sandra or Ryan.
Since 2009, the two have had a long-standing friendship.

It’s actually pretty sweet. Being friends with Betty White would be goals .
I guess being friends with Ryan would be pretty cool too.
A testament to their friendship was Betty’s R-rated review of Ryan’s 2016 blockbuster ‘Deadpool.’
“I give it four Golden Girls. It’s the best picture of the year.”
I’m dead.
Betty just celebrated her 97th birthday.
When you’re as awesome as Betty White, you’re obviously going to be flooded with birthday messages.
Despite the outpouring of love, the one that really stood out was from Ryan himself.
And it’s safe to say that he wins.
Everyone else can pack up and go home.
Ryan wishing Betty a happy birthday isn’t anything new.
His birthday shoutout from last year made us laugh.
And it’s safe to say that he really nailed it this year as well.
And suddenly I find myself weirdly fantasizing about what Ryan and Betty’s relationship name would have been.
Byan Weynolds? Retty Rite? I don’t think I’m doing this right.
Ryan’s birthday wish was the best, but other famous faces paid tribute too.
Like the love of everyone’s lives Antoni Porowski from Queer Eye .
And Melissa Rivers, who paid tribute to her late mom Joan and Betty’s iconic late-night exchange.
Two of the funniest ladies to ever exist in showbiz, period.
Our favorite ‘Trekkie’ and activist George Takei said happy birthday with a “same.”
May we all live to an age where we need to blow out our b-day candles with a fire extinguisher.
Nightly news host Lester Holt shared Betty’s secret for a long and happy life.
And no, it’s not just “vodka and hot dogs,” although we love that Betty also swears by that regimen.
We wish a very happy birthday to Betty White, and all the best in 2019!
You make us all better humans. Please don’t ever leave us.
