As fans prepare themselves for the upcoming Marvel extravaganza, Deadpool & Wolverine, showstoppers, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman take a trip down memory lane reflecting the humble beginnings of their careers. While the two inseparable duo sit dishing about their early days in the industry, they put forward hilarious stories of the past. Their rookie mistakes, crazy encounters with industry folks, and the 'what were they thinking?' moments somehow led to their current status as Hollywood superheroes.

In a recent interview, the stars share their lessons learned throughout the nascent stages of their career, revealing the twists and turns that are now nothing but stories to toast a tea over.

While speaking of his initial experiments with X-men’s Wolverine, Hugh Jackman revealed the tit-bit fumbles that he had to put up with. In an interview with The New York Times, he revealed his agent surprisingly cut his three-movie deal to a two-picture deal, limiting his creative freedom. He was initially unaware of the change, but later understood the impact. Listening to which Ryan Reynolds joked, "I would've killed the agent,” if he were in Jackman's place.

The 55-year-old further explained that after his agent reduced a three-picture deal to two, he had the freedom to choose his projects. Hugh Jackman thus prioritized storytelling, and by the time he finished his character's arc, he felt he had reached the end of what he could offer. However, seeing the first Deadpool film changed his mind, and he found “another reason” to continue, leading to a new chapter in his career.

Following the instant reaction, Reynolds went on to recall Jackman's initial influence on him.

Ryan Reynolds, meanwhile, recalled the significant impact Hugh Jackman had on him, particularly during the filming of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Reynolds played Deadpool and observed Jackman's leadership and production style, where he noticed his graciousness. For him, “it really was an antidote to cynicism,” he thought, realizing that success and contentment are possible without sacrificing one's well-being.

The Deadpool star who was to later accompany Wolverine as his partner-in-crime was struck by Hugh Jackman's approach. It contrasted with the common trope of the tortured artist. He remembered thinking that it was possible to excel in the industry without self-destructive behavior and that Jackman's example was a powerful inspiration. Not just inspirations, Reynolds also shared some unforgettable memories with Jackman which further took the spotlight.
