Meg Ryan acknowledges that the fake orgasm scene in ‘When Harry Met Sally’ serves as an ‘uncommon source of embarrassment’ for her children

Meg Ryan recently shared in an interview with Carol Burnett for Interview magazine that her children, Jack Quaid (31) and Daisy Ryan (19), are embarrassed by her famous fake orgasm scene in the classic 1989 romantic comedy “When Harry Met Sally.” The scene, which takes place in New York City’s Katz’s Deli, features Ryan loudly faking sexual climax in front of co-star Billy Crystal and other restaurant patrons.

During the conversation, Ryan mentioned that her son was staying at a hotel across the street from Katz’s Deli and pointed out the table where the scene was shot. Her children jokingly referred to the scene as a “very unique embarrassment.” They find it amusing that there is a sign indicating the table in the deli.

Ryan’s ex-husband, Dennis Quaid, is the father of Jack, while she adopted Daisy in 2006. Ryan also reminisced about filming the fake orgasm scene, revealing that they had to do multiple takes to get it right. Director Rob Reiner even stepped in at one point to demonstrate how he wanted the scene to be portrayed.

“When Harry Met Sally” became a box office success and solidified Ryan’s status as a leading lady in romantic comedies. She went on to star in other popular films of the genre, including “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You’ve Got Mail.” After an eight-year break from acting, Ryan is set to return to the big screen in the upcoming movie “What Happens Later,” which she also directed and co-wrote.

The film, also starring David Duchovny, is a romantic comedy about ex-lovers reuniting after years apart due to a snowstorm. Ryan began working on the screenplay during the COVID-19 pandemic and found inspiration from the collective pause the world experienced. “What Happens Later” is set to be released in theaters on Oct. 13.

Overall, Ryan’s Interview conversation provided insight into her personal life, her iconic film moments, and her ambitions as a filmmaker. Her children’s reaction to her famous fake orgasm scene added a lighthearted and humorous touch to the interview.
