With the beginning of the production of Deadpool 3, fans are rejoicing the union of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. The Canadian actor is reprising his role after 5 years of gap. And Jackman? After retiring from Wolverine, he is reprising his role after 6 years. However, both mutants had to get in shape to reprise their respective roles in Deadpool 3. With the help of a celebrity trainer, Don Saladino, both actors’ journey of being fit became a little easy. Meanwhile, the 46-year-old actor earned massive respect from Saladino because he chose the other way.

To play any given character, actors have to appear physically perfect for the role. We have seen Deadpool previously. He is a hyperactive character. To play the role after all these years, Ryan Reynolds also had to be physically and mentally trained. However, all the intense workouts and crazy diets could have been avoided with the help of technology. But as GQ reported, the Vancouver-born actor went for the intense training and not the CGI. For choosing real training over the computerized physique, Reynolds earned tremendous respect from his trainer, Don Saladino.

Deadpool has always been special for People’s Icon. To play the role for the last time, he wanted to be authentic. And being authentic meant he wanted to feel the character deeply. Therefore, Ryan Reynolds decided to give it his all for the character for the last time.
