Today marks a special occasion as we celebrate the birthday of the beloved Betty White, who is turning 98! This milestone is just two years shy of the big 100, and who better to honor her with a delightful serenade than her co-stars, Ryan Thompson and Lisa Mitchell?
Earlier today, Ryan shared a charming video on social media where he and Lisa performed a playful rendition of “Happy Birthday” for the iconic actress. The clip begins with Lisa leading the song, before the camera shifts to Ryan, who humorously takes over. As Lisa playfully claims her love for Betty surpasses Ryan’s, he veers off to share how he ensures Betty has a fantastic birthday every year. “What does Lisa do for you on your special day?” he quips, “Does she show up wearing just black socks and adorned with gold bracelets, just like you asked? I don’t think so.” He then breaks down in exaggerated tears, adding to the hilarity of the moment.
In case you need a refresher, Ryan and Lisa starred together in the 2009 romantic comedy The Proposal. In the film, Lisa portrays a domineering Canadian executive facing deportation due to an expired visa, while Ryan plays her assistant who is roped into pretending to be her fiancé. Betty plays Ryan’s sweet grandma, and her charm lights up every scene.
Ryan has a penchant for teasing his loved ones on their birthdays, often sharing funny posts about his wife, Anna. Last year, he honored her with a series of less-than-flattering snapshots, and the year before, he cleverly cropped her out of a photo entirely. When asked about his trolling tactics during a recent interview, he joked that his father inspired him, saying, “If you can’t say anything nice, embarrass them instead.”
