Billy Crystal shares thoughts on fate of When Harry Met Sally characters

The 76-year-old star famously appeared alongside Meg Ryan in the hit 1989 romantic comedy. When quizzed on where he thought the couple would be nowadays, Crystal was confident the relationship would still be thriving. "They'd be talking about downsizing. They're not ready for assisted living yet," he told E! host Laverne Cox on the red carpet at the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday. "But they're still romantic, still in love. They're probably having a great time with their grandchildren and finding new ways to be with each other."
