On Thursday, actor/comedian Betty White celebrated her 97th birthday.

White is nothing short of a legend in the industry, and as a result she had no shortage of messages from fans.

Ellen DeGeneres and Mindy Kaling were among the celebrities who tweeted to wish her a happy birthday.

So, plenty of lovely message popping up on White's notifications feed. But nobody said it quite like Ryan Reynolds.

That photo is from Sept. 22 2010, when Reynolds and White appeared together on the same episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Cleary Reynolds has stayed a White fan ever since. This isn't the first time he's wished her a happy birthday, after all.

No response from White yet, but we're sure she's thrilled. Who wouldn't be?
