Hugh Jackman might have stepped down from the role of Wolverine, but the bromance between him and “Deadpool” actor Ryan Reynold is certainly alive and well.
Hugh who just turned 51 over the weekend on 12th October received a more than welcoming video from his friends and fellow Marvel cohort Ryan, 42. In the video, Ryan did more than just a simple happy birthday wish as the video also doubled as a response to what Hugh said during one of his Broadway performance.
After performing one of his songs during a Broadway show, the “Logan” actor poked fun at Ryan by telling his audience, “Let’s see Ryan Reynolds do that.” Hugh instantly regretted the line and told his audience not to post the joke because he will get “like three million tweets from him in the next ten seconds.”
Unfortunately for Hugh, the word did spread and it did not take long before it reached Ryan who promptly responded with a video on Hugh’s Birthday, wishing the Aussie a happy birthday but with a twist.
“I was just going to wish you a happy birthday,” he then continued. “Then I saw what you said. In a word, hurtful.” The seemingly sad note was then followed up by a fake last word and a hilarious fakeout, “Enjoy the show, Hugh Jackman”.
A few seconds later he came back with a with a passionate performance of the “Happy Birthday” song. He then proceed to end the video with an epic finale with “And I’m not f**king professionally trained you Jackman, you piece of shit.”
Hugh took to social media to response to the video as he captioned it with “At first I thought – Ugh, now I have to actually apologize. But then …“. Of course, all of this was just all in good fun, with the pair calling for a truce later on Instagram.
