Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal have reunited to recreate an iconic scene from their beloved romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally for a new advertisement – check it out below.
Today (February 10), during the 2025 Super Bowl, global condiments brand Hellman’s aired an advertisement that saw Ryan and Crystal remake one of the most famous scenes from their 1989 classic in which they’re both at a diner when Ryan’s character fakes an orgasm, drawing the shock and attention of everyone around them.
For the new Hellman’s ad, Ryan is seen pouring mayonnaise onto a sandwich before taking a bite and once again faking an orgasm. The trailer ends with a waiter going up a cameo-making Sydney Sweeney, who says in a throwback to the original film: “I’ll have what she’s having”.

Last year, director Rob Reiner revealed that the film was originally supposed to conclude with a much more emotionally downbeat ending. Reiner disclosed that the original script, which was written by the late Nora Ephron, did not see Harry (Crystal) and Sally (Ryan) getting hitched at the end. The ending was later changed during filming after Reiner met his wife-to-be Michele Singer Reiner.
In 2023, Tom Hanks’ wife Rita Wilson revealed that Hanks turned down the role of Harry in the film. He had been approached by Ephron, but turned the role down because he said he could not relate to the idea of a character being depressed after his divorce.
“People probably don’t know this, but Tom was offered when Harry Met Sally and he turned it down because he was going through a divorce and he was very happy to be not married,” Wilson said. “And so he could not understand that a person going through a divorce would have anything other than just like, ‘I’m so happy’. But I loved that script.”
In other Super Bowl-related news, a new trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning was revealed. Additionally, Tom Cruise narrated the big game’s cold open, complete with numerous Mission: Impossible-themed callbacks.
