Iconic American actress Meg Ryan gained fame through her unforgettable performances in romantic comedies such as 1993’ “Sleepless in Seattle.” She is the proud mother of Jack Quaid, who she shares with actor Dennis Quaid. Also an actor, Jack openly shared his admiration for his mother’s talent and dedication, recognizing how her influence has shaped his own journey in Hollywood.

At 63, Ryan reunited with her former co-star Billy Crystal, 76, in a Super Bowl commercial that celebrated the 35th anniversary of their hit “When Harry Met Sally.” The ad, filmed at New York’s Katz’s Deli, saw Crystal’s character, Harry, remarking to Ryan’s Sally, “I can’t believe they let us back in this place.” 

The commercial, promoting Hellmann’s products, paid homage to the iconic scene where Harry jokingly denies any woman ever faking an orgasm, prompting Sally to deliver a memorable demonstration in the restaurant. A nearby diner famously quips: “I’ll have what she’s having.”

In another notable reunion, Ryan and Crystal presented at the 2025 Oscars, where they awarded the Best Picture honor to “Anora” on Mar. 2, 2025, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Ryan made her return to romantic films in 2023 with “What Happens Later,” which she not only starred in but also co-wrote and directed. This marked her first major role since her 2015 directorial debut “Ithaca,” in which her son, Jack, co-starred alongside her.

There’s no doubt that Jack is his mother’s biggest supporter. In detail, he is following in her footsteps with a growing career in acting with films like “The Hunger Games” in 2012. His breakthrough role came with the popular TV series “The Boys,” where he portrayed Hughie Campbell, a character navigating a corrupt world of superheroes. 

“The Boys,” based on the comic book of the same name, has been critically acclaimed, and Jack’s performance was one of the key highlights. This role demonstrated his ability to balance drama and humor, capturing audiences with his charm and authenticity.  

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Mar. 11, 2025, at the premiere of his film “Novocaine,” the 32-year-old actor expressed just how “unbelievable” it has been to see his mother, Meg, make her return to the Hollywood spotlight. Jack spoke proudly about his mom’s comeback:

“Obviously, I am very biased, but no one deserves it more than her.” 

Jack previously shared how his famous parents, Ryan and Dennis, weren’t immediately thrilled about him pursuing a career in acting. In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter on Dec. 27, 2024, Jack, who already had two 2025 releases, “Novocaine” and “Companion,” reflected on his parents’ initial reaction. 

“When I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, they understood what that meant,” he said, adding they “weren’t initially super psyched about it because they knew how tough it was for them, so they were like, ‘Oh jeez, of course we have another one.’” 

Despite their reservations, Jack acknowledged that both his mother and his father ultimately came around and gave him their full support. He expressed his deep appreciation for their encouragement:

“But ultimately they understood and were very supportive, so I’m super grateful for that.” 

“Novocaine” premiered in theaters on Mar. 14, 2025, marking another milestone in Jack’s budding career. Although the actor was born into a family with deep roots in the entertainment industry, he continues to work hard to establish his own identity.
