Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds: The Early Days
Before they were trading jokes on social media, Jackman and Reynolds were competing for the title of Hollywood's sexiest man alive. Jackman snagged the title in 2008, and Reynolds followed suit in 2010. But instead of letting a little friendly competition drive a wedge between them, these two took it in stride and let the bromance bloom.
The Wolverine vs. Deadpool Rivalry
In the world of Marvel, Wolverine and Deadpool are like oil and water. Wolverine is the stoic, serious mutant with a healing factor, while Deadpool is the wisecracking, fourth-wall-breaking merc with a mouth. When Reynolds took on the role of Deadpool in 2016, it was only natural that he'd poke fun at Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine.
But Jackman wasn't having any of that. He hit back with hilarious jabs of his own, and thus began the most entertaining feud in Hollywood. From Reynolds' "Hugh Jackman is overrated" tweet to Jackman's epic musical number about Reynolds' love for chimichangas, these two kept us laughing for years.
Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds: The Bromance Blooms
As their on-screen rivalry heated up, so did their off-screen friendship. Jackman and Reynolds started supporting each other's projects, making surprise appearances in each other's movies, and even producing films together. Here are a few highlights of their bromance:
Deadpool's Wolverine Cameo
In 2016, Reynolds' Deadpool movie became a massive hit, thanks in part to its fourth-wall-breaking humor and pop culture references. One of the film's most memorable moments was a surprise cameo from none other than Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. The scene was a hilarious send-up of Wolverine's origin story, and it solidified Jackman and Reynolds' status as the ultimate Hollywood bromance.
The Greatest Showman and Detective Pikachu
Jackman and Reynolds' friendship isn't just about ribbing each other. They've also supported each other's projects wholeheartedly. When Jackman's musical The Greatest Showman was released in 2017, Reynolds was one of the first to sing its praises. And when Reynolds starred in the live-action Detective Pikachu in 2019, Jackman was quick to offer his support.
Red Notice and The Hitman's Bodyguard 2
Jackman and Reynolds have also teamed up as producers on several projects. They're both attached to the upcoming Netflix film Red Notice, starring Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds. And they're also producing a sequel to the 2017 action-comedy The Hitman's Bodyguard, which starred Jackman and Reynolds' friend Samuel L. Jackson.
