Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have been hilariously taking digs at each other for years now. The actors, who worked together in X-Men movies, are constantly taking a jibe at each other on social media and interviews. Finally, here we have the Wolverine star revealing the reason. He said it began because of Deadpool star’s ex-wife Scarlett Johansson who was married to Ryan from 2008 until 2011.
The Black Widow actress is a close friend of the X-Men star. So when the Reynolds and Johansson tied the knot, Jackman reached out to the actor with a warning.
In an interview with Daily Beast Hugh said, “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! I met him back on Wolverine, and I used to ream him because I was very close friends with Scarlett, 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.
“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,” Jackman added.
Ryan Reynolds was married to the MCU star before he married Blake Lively in 2012.
The Aussie star is now planning on how to get Reynolds after the Deadpool actor jokingly told Jackman’s wife Deborra-Lee Furness to “hang in there” when Jackman marked their 24th anniversary.
