Meg Ryan’s children find a scene played by their illustrious mother particularly embarrassing. We bet you have already guessed which sequence it is…
Released in theaters in 1989, When Harry Met Sally is a cult comedy. And in this cult comedy, there is an even more cult scene: that of Meg Ryan’s simulated orgasm in a New York restaurant in front of a dumbfounded Billy Crystal.
This sequence full of secrets, one of many that highlight female pleasure on screen, is adored by millions of viewers around the world. But on the other hand, she frankly embarrassed the offspring of Meg Ryan…
“It’s funny, my son called me this morning, he’s in New York and he’s staying at a hotel that’s right across from the famous Kat’z Deli”says the actress at the microphone of the Interview site. “My daughter was also there and everyone around them was talking about the orgasm scene. They told me it was a particularly unique moment of embarrassment.”
And Meg Ryan clarified that her son, visibly stunned, had told her a funny detail that the actress probably already knew: “He said to me ‘You know that in this restaurant there is an arrow pointing to the table where you played this scene??
In 2018, actor Jake Quaid, from the union of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid, said that he had seen very late When Harry met Sally. “Guys, when your mom performed one of the most famous orgasm scenes of all time, you don’t rush to the movie, huh?“, he laughed at the microphone of Entertainment Weekly.
“I saw When Harry Met Sally because I was preparing a romantic comedy and it’s THE romantic comedy”continued the American, seen recently in the credits of Oppenheimer and the series The Boys.
“So I watched the movie, and after watching it I cried a lot. I was so proud of my mother. I immediately called her to tell her that I was sorry that I hadn’t seen the movie earlier.”
