Los Angeles, April 19 (NationPress) What’s the point of having a best friend if you can’t poke fun at them every now and then? Actor Hugh Jackman took a lighthearted jab at his best friend, Ryan Reynolds, during a performance.
The 56-year-old star, recognized for his role as Wolverine in the ‘X-Men’ series, unexpectedly changed course during his show at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, as reported by ‘Mirror.co.uk’.
Hugh, who recently acknowledged his relationship with his former Music Man co-star Sutton Foster, had the audience in stitches as he recounted a funny story about how Ryan, 48, managed to annoy him while they were shooting their blockbuster superhero flick ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’.
According to ‘Mirror.co.uk’, the Oscar-nominated actor shared his enthusiasm for filming the movie, calling it the “time of his life”. However, he did express one small complaint: being left out of the Marvel film's musical number.
“Don’t tell Ryan,” the Greatest Showman star jokingly cautioned the audience during his musical review, titled ‘From New York, With Love’.
In footage shared by the Daily Mail, Hugh pointed out that he and Ryan appeared together in every scene of the film, except for the opening sequence where Deadpool searches for Wolverine. “That’s okay, I don’t need to be in every scene. But Ryan is a writer,” the father of two explained.
“When I read the script, I saw that the one scene I’m not in is the opening sequence featuring a dance number to an NSYNC song performed by Ryan. I thought, the only scene I’m absent from involves dancing. Now Ryan is very talented, but dancing?” he continued.
As the audience erupted in laughter, Hugh declared his desire to “fix” the issue. He clarified that he wouldn’t attempt to replicate the choreography of the film’s choreographer, Darrin Henson. Nonetheless, he couldn’t resist teasing Ryan again by mentioning that Ryan didn’t even perform his own dancing.
“There’s no way I would try to match Ryan’s dance double Nick Pauley... because the guy is like 25 years old,” Hugh remarked.
