Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have a long history of rivalry that goes back to the year 2009. Don’t worry, they are not going to kill each other off in Deadpool 3. On the contrary, Jackman seems to be quite impressed with Reynolds’ wife, actress Blake Lively.

According to him, the mother of three has done something so extraordinary that Jackman has had to call her a “saint.” Apparently, it has something to do with Ryan Reynolds.

Hugh Jackman can’t thank Blake Lively enough

Wolverine is grateful to Blake Lively for not one, but two things. He recently posted a video on his Instagram calling the Green Lantern actress a “one-of-a-kind” creative and fun person. And he did not stop there; he also added, “You are sunshine seven days a week, and you’re a saint for marrying that man. Sorry… not sorry.”

By this, he was referring to her successful marriage with Reynolds because it is not easy to cope with a person like the Deadpool actor. There is another reason Jackman is grateful for Lively: her line of carbonated drinks, Betty Buzz, which has been a whole new sensation all over. She did that by following the path of her husband, who is himself a successful alcohol brand owner. Jackman initially spoke in the video about Betty Buzz and how he and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness are absolutely in love with all the flavors of this tonic.

The rivalry between Jackman and Reynolds is a fun one, and it began when the Canadian actor married Scarlett Johansson in 2009. Johansson and the Wolverine actor have been close friends for a much longer time, and when the Free Guy actor married her, Jackman asked him to be on his best behavior as he would be “watching.” And that is when these two started ribbing each other on every possible occasion.

Basically, you can say Jackman killed two birds with one stone as he appreciated Blake Lively for her amazing product while subtly acquiring the chance to mock Ryan Reynolds.

Let’s hope this fun rivalry never ends and brings out more chances for us to laugh.
