Meg Ryan in London: 90s star was unnoticed on a bench.

Hollywood Star in London

According to The Sun: A famous Hollywood actress was spotted in London tying her shoelaces on a bench. Would you recognize her?

This actress gained massive popularity in the 80s and 90s, starring in a number of classic films.

The actress was deep in thought while sitting on the bench.

Did you guess it was Meg Ryan?

It’s truly the 90s star, Meg Ryan.

The actress, who rose to fame in romantic comedies such as 'Sleepless in Seattle', was spotted while walking in London when she stopped to tie her shoelace.

Sitting on the bench, she remained unnoticed by passersby.

Meg was dressed head to toe in black and complemented her look with round sunglasses.

Her thick blonde hair flowed in waves over her shoulders.

Cinema Icon

In the late 80s and 90s, Meg was the 'queen' of romantic comedies.

She released hit after hit, with movies like 'You've Got Mail', 'French Kiss', and 'Kate & Leopold'.

However, Meg is best remembered for her role alongside Billy Crystal in the 1989 film 'When Harry Met Sally'.

This film became a huge success for both actors, but Meg will forever be remembered for a particular scene where her character Sally caused a sensation in a deli in Manhattan, trying to prove that men can’t tell when a woman is faking an orgasm.

“I’ll have what she’s having,” one diner remarked.

Meg took a break from her acting career in 2003 for 12 years.

In 2019, in an interview with The New York Times, she talked about the reasons for her hiatus from acting.

“I just wasn’t that interested in acting like I was in other things life might offer,” Meg said. “I wanted to live more.”

Meg added: “You have a deficit as a young, famous person, because you don’t know who is telling you the truth.”

“I’m not complaining - there are many advantages to being famous, but there are also fundamental disadvantages for part of your brain, your 'self', your soul.”

Proud Mom

Besides her film career, Meg is also the mother of two children – 21-year-old Daisy and 24-year-old Jack.

The actress adopted her daughter from China in 2006 when she was 14 months old.

Meg also has a biological son, Jack, with her ex-husband Dennis Quaid, from whom she divorced in 2001.

The star has bravely spoken about her children.

“I absolutely believe there’s nothing random about it. She is the daughter I was meant to have,” Meg stated.

“I never felt like I was on a rescue mission or anything like that. I just really wanted a baby.”

Meg continues to remain a style icon on the red carpet, as seen at this year’s Oscars ceremony. Her contributions to film are still remembered, and her breaks in the career do not prevent her from staying in the spotlight. As the fresh memory of her star roles inspires new generations, fans hope Meg will return to the big screens once again.
