Billy Crystal recreates iconic Harry look
Get ready for a trip down memory lane as Billy Crystal has recreated his iconic sweater moment from When Harry Met Sally to celebrate his 75th birthday.
Crystal shared a picture in the timeless knitted pullover on Twitter, sparking nostalgia and pure joy among his fans.
In the tribute tweet, Crystal is crouching down in white sneakers, jeans and a preppy cream cable-knit pullover; although not exactly the same style seen in the iconic rom-com, it certainly got the nostalgia flowing.
“Thank you all…,” he captioned the snaps, in tribute to his character from the 1989 film, Harry Burns.
The post even caught the attention of the official Merriam-Webster Dictionary Twitter account, they tweeted, “Icon | noun | a person or thing widely admired especially for having great influence or significance in a particular sweater.”
Actor Richard Lewis joined in, writing, “Finally, you’re my age. You’re a blessed artist. I’m proud to have started our comedic journey together.”
Devoted fans shared their own takes on the sweater, with various people wearing cable knits and cosplaying as Harry Burns.
The star shared some of his favourite recreations with his 738,000 followers on Twitter.
Norah Ephron, the writer of the classic 80s film, has long inspired fashion in her films, with many people embracing “Nora Ephron fall” in 2022.
Dressing as an Ephron-approved character calls for linen shirts, tweed blazers, sneakers, and of course, cosy knits.
Three decades after the icon movie’s release, Crystal still has Ephron dressing down to a tee.
