Ryan Reynolds has been the talk of the town for what Hugh Jackman refers to as a romantic comedy, Deadpool & Wolverine. However, it seems he is now taking center stage in a true romantic comedy as Blake Lively revives the genre with renewed focus. Having secured a major promotional campaign for the MCU's flagship release of the year, the Deadpool actor is now adding a new twist to the romantic angle by stepping into the role of a matchmaker for both his mother and Lively’s on-screen love interest. 

While Reynolds is known for adding intriguing twists to his personal and professional life, this latest development feels particularly personal, with the twist taking on a more thriller-like edge than a typical rom-com.

On Tuesday, Ryan Reynolds shared a video of himself hijacking an interview with Brandon Sklenar, Blake Lively's love interest in It Ends With Us. However, her husband’s questions for Sklenar had little to do with his performance as the interview soon turned into a grilling session for the actor when Tammy Reynolds joined. Reynolds’ mother chimed in to read out questions her son had written in jest that suggested he was on the lookout for a new father figure.

Reynolds interjected, finishing his mother’s thoughts when she hesitated, saying, “Ryan would love to have a new dad to have a catch, and I think he could really use a man in his life”. Reynolds also takes a salty swipe at his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star, Hugh Jackman, reasoning that, “Hugh is no spring chicken anymore”, and leaving Sklenar little to no option other than an affirmation.

That was, however, not the end of the playful antics Reynolds had in store for Lively’s on-screen love interest, as his meticulous plans also had a place for Jackman to take the torch of humor.

For Brandon Sklenar, the hijacked interview turned out to be more than just Ryan Reynolds' doing—a full-blown trio affair, including his mother and Hugh Jackman. With Reynolds unable to resist the romantic comedy vibes of It Ends With Us, Jackman also joined the fun, having recently starred in what he calls a romantic comedy, Deadpool & Wolverine. After Tammy and Ryan Reynolds' playful roasting, Jackman showcased his humor by teasing Sklenar, “the guy trying to replace Ryan as a husband and me as his best mate.”

Sklenar, who admires Jackman’s role in Les Misérables, found himself star-struck despite the chaotic interview. He even referred to the Deadpool & Wolverine actor as a “unicorn.” However, Jackman’s playful banter concluded with a joke about finding the “next Wolverine,” leaving it up in the air whether Sklenar is more likely to play a mutant or a stepfather.
