Ryan Reynolds is letting go of his playful fight with Hugh Jackman to wish him a happy 56th birthday.
“Hope we can do this until we’re 90. Happy birthday, @thehughjackman. Many years. Lots of adventures,” Reynolds captioned a carousel of photos of the “Deadpool & Wolverine” co-stars on Oct. 12. on Instagram.
The photos included several shots of the two actors posing and laughing together over the years.
The Surprisingly Poignant Tone of the Reynolds Tribute Is a Far cry from How It Has Been Done Jackman scoffed. – and vice versa – on special occasions in years past.
Reynolds and Jackman, who met on the set of the 2009 film “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” have made fans laugh with their fictional rivalry for years.
In December 2016 Instagram videoJackman held a cutout of Reynolds’ face over his while pretending to be the Canadian actor.
“How can a kid who failed his high school drama class be so talented?” Jackman-as-Reynolds said. “I don’t have an answer for that. But to quote my favorite actor in the world, the great Australian Hugh Jackman, who, by the way, was People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive long before me, ‘Americans are the most generous country on the planet.'”
In 2021, Reynolds celebrated Jackman’s birthday by wearing a pair of socks emblazoned with an image of Jackson’s face. Reynolds revealed the socks in a tiktok to the tune of “A Million Dreams,” one of the songs Jackman sings in “The Greatest Showman.”
In his caption, he wrote: “Socks to be Hugh.”
Jackman responded to Reynolds’ TikTok on an instagram videowhere he implied that Reynolds was obsessed with him and had made the socks himself.
“I know, it’s very sad,” Jackman said.
Jackman mocked Reynolds again in January 2023 when jokingly begged the Academy not to nominate Reynolds for best original song for “Good Afternoon” from his Christmas movie “Spirited.”
In the video, Jackman first expressed his admiration for the film’s stars, including Will Ferrell and Octavia Spencer, and its composers, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, with whom he worked on “The Greatest Showman,” before explaining how a nomination for the Oscar for Reynolds would only make his ego bigger.
“Ryan Reynolds getting a nomination in the best song category would make the next year of my life unbearable,” said Jackman, who was scheduled to film 2024’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” with Reynolds.
“I have to spend a year with him filming ‘Wolverine and Deadpool’ and believe me, it would be impossible. “It would be a problem,” Jackman added.
“So, just to summarize. I love ‘Spirited’. I love Will. I love Octavia. I love the song ‘Good afternoon’. I love Benj and Justin. But please, from the bottom of my heart, do not validate Ryan Reynolds in this way,” he added.
Reynolds responded for joking in a tweet that the Oscar nomination is not In fact it would be for him and Will Ferrell; it would be for the “deepfakes” who sang and danced for the couple.
He also did a dig to Jackman for cleverly referring to “Deadpool 3” as “Wolverine and Deadpool,” reversing the order of his characters’ names.
“Also, Wolverine and Deadpool, boo?” he wrote.
