Ryan, 63, andBilly Crystal, 76, reunited for aSuper Bowl commercialthat revived the titular characters from their 1989 rom-comWhen Harry Met Sallyand celebrated the 35th anniversary of the movie. The two are seen at New York’s famous Katz’s Deli, with Crystal’s Harry telling Ryan’s Sally, “I can’t believe they let us back in this place.”
The commercial, which promoted Hellmann’s products, paid tribute to a memorable moment where Harry says he doesn’t believe any of the women he’s slept with have ever faked an orgasm. Sally proceeds to offer a convincing demonstration right in the middle of the restaurant. “I’ll have what she’s having,” a fellow diner says after Sally’s performance.
