Once bitter superhero rivals, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds are now Hollywood’s most unhinged bromance—a whirlwind of claws, quips, and chaotic charm. Born on the set of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, their friendship mutated into a glorious circus of memes, roasts, and ridiculous antics. Like two toddlers with A-list status and Wi-Fi, they just will not stop. Fans live for every petty prank and heartfelt hug. But amid the madness, after Deadpool & Wolverine, Jackman has confessed to something shocking… a complaint.

Hugh Jackman sent shockwaves—and giggles—through the crowd Friday when he theatrically roasted Ryan Reynolds for excluding him from one thing… and no, it was not a gin commercial.

While dazzling audiences at Radio City Music Hall with his musical revue From New York, With Love, Hugh Jackman could not resist tossing a glittery jab at Ryan Reynolds. In classic showman style, he cheekily aired a tiny frustration from filming Deadpool & Wolverine—and it sparkled with sass. As seen in a video captured by The Daily Mail, Jackman revealed the only scene he was left out of featured Reynolds dancing to an 'NSYNC' hit. “Don’t tell Ryan… I don’t need to be in every scene in the movie.” 

Hugh Jackman, determined to avenge his cinematic dance snub, told the crowd he would not mimic choreographer Darrin Henson—but he did jab Ryan Reynolds for not doing his own moves. Enter Beth Lewis, his trainer with a dancer’s past, for the ultimate clapback: a wildly athletic rendition of 'Bye Bye Bye'. Jackman jump-roped with flair, flipped arms mid-air, and landed like a Broadway ninja. Take that, Deadpool—with jazz hands. Jackman’s dance may have been a knockout, but January’s surprise from Reynolds was the ultimate jaw-dropper.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's Rivalry Once Took a Musical Turn While They Were Promoting 'Deadpool & Wolverine'

From gifting socks with Hugh Jackman’s face to crashing his events, Reynolds’ antics have turned their friendship into a hilarious highlight reel.

At the Friday night debut of his stage show From New York, With Love at Radio City Music Hall, Hugh Jackman was unexpectedly interrupted by his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star, Ryan Reynolds. During a Q&A break, while Jackman serenaded the audience with classics from his musical repertoire, Reynolds emerged from the crowd with a playful grin. He joked, “I was told this was going to be a comedy version of ‘Les Mis.’” Adding, “We all said it was a terrible idea but he carried on”.

Reynolds took a moment to get sentimental during his surprise appearance, reflecting on his early days in Hollywood. He shared how, 16 or 17 years ago, he was a nervous young actor on the X-Men Origins: Wolverine set, unsure about working with a major star like Hugh Jackman. What he saw, however, was professionalism and kindness that set the bar for success. Fast forward to today, Reynolds earned more than Jackman did in Deadpool & Wolverine. Jackman’s playful jabs prove that their friendship is a perfect blend of heart, humor, and success even today.
