Billy Crystal reveals whereabouts of iconic ‘When Harry Met Sally’ sweater — and fans are freaking out

One thing is “Crystal” clear: Harry Burns’ iconic sweater is lost to the ages.

Billy Crystal has revealed that he no longer has his character’s iconic chunky white knit from the 1989 rom-com “When Harry Met Sally.”

“I got a lot,” the 76-year-old told People on Saturday after being asked if he still has clothes from the film “I’m a little bit of a clothes horse. The one I don’t have is that sweater, and I had it for years, the one from ‘Harry and Sally’ – the real one.”

As for where Crystal thinks the sweater could be? He admitted: “I made a donation.”

“I believe it was to UCLA’s theater department with tons of clothes for costumes,” continued the comedian. “I have a feeling it’s there. I’ve racked my brain as I’ve seen other people — you’ve seen them on social media wearing a sweater, doing the pose that is from that scene. I wish I had that sweater […].”

Fans responded to the news on social media, freaking that a beloved piece of cinematic history had gone missing.

“My fear unlocked,” one wrote. “This is why I’m a hoarder.

As one of the most acclaimed romantic comedies of all time, “When Harry Met Sally…” follows the story of two friends who have had a slow burn romance finally getting together 12 years after they first met. 

In September, the actor took a moment to talk about another aspect of the movie: where his and Ryan’s beloved characters would be today.

Crystal spoke with E!’s red carpet host Laverne Cox ahead of the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards, telling the host: “They’d be talking about downsizing. They’re not ready for assisted living yet.” 

“But they’re still romantic, still in love,” he added.

And, 35 years since the movie opened, Crystal thinks Harry and Sally are also “probably having a great time with their grandchildren and finding new ways to be with each other.”

The Emmy winner also spoke about the project’s relevance for audiences over the years.

“It’s extraordinary to be part of an evergreen [movie] like that after all these years,” he remarked. “Young people finding it; getting called from film schools and 22-year-olds finding the movie; 21-year-olds, and coming to speak to them about it.”
