Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s online bantering is the show that we live for!
But where did all of it start? In his recent interview with the American news website, Daily Beast, Hugh Jackman disclosed the root of this “rivalry”.
On being asked about his long-prevailing rivalry with Ryan Reynolds, this is what he had to say:
INTERVIEWER: As far as your ongoing online flame war with Ryan Reynolds goes, how did that start?
JACK HUGHMAN: How did it start? It’s gone back so long now… God, this is a classic sign where your feud has gone too long, where you don’t even know why or how it started! [Laughs] I met him back on Wolverine, and I used to ream him because I was very close friends with Scarlett [Johansson], and Scarlett had just married Ryan, so when he came on set I was like, Hey, you better be on your best behavior here, pal, because I’m watching, and we started ribbing each other that way, and then it all escalated with the Deadpool thing and him calling me out, and trying to manipulate me through social media to do what he wanted. [Laughs]”
The Wolverine actor also made a bon mot when asked whether he is “planning a retaliatory strike”, “I try to limit it to five hours a day, planning retribution. I’ve found in the past that it just gets unhealthy if it’s more than five hours of obsessing over how to get Ryan Reynolds. But five hours is good and healthy and keeps me strong and ready.”
