Ever since their first appearance together in 2008’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have had an interesting relationship. Their long-drawn online and public pseudo-feud since then has been both hilarious and highly entertaining. From hurling expletives at one another to setting up pranks of varying degrees, the two never disappoint. Even their truce announcement was nothing short of a practical joke.

On the occasion of Hugh’s birthday, Ryan Reynolds, in his true-blue style, gave the real-life Wolverine a quirky gift. He presented a teaser of his own film while passing it off as something to commemorate Jackman’s special day.
