‘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!’ he told Daily Beast.

‘I met him back on Wolverine, and I used to ream him because I was very close friends with Scarlett.
‘Scarlett had just married Ryan, so when he came on set I was like, “Hey, you better be on your best behaviour here, pal, because I’m watching”, and we started ribbing each other that way.’
Hugh said things ‘escalated’ after Reynolds took on the role of Deadpool, proving to be a rival to his portrayal of Wolverine.
He claimed Reynolds had used social media to ‘manipulate’ him in recent years, with the two men regularly poking fun at each other on Instagram.

In 2021, Jackman revealed that he has no plans to stop trolling the fellow actor.
He said pranking Ryan is one of his great joys in life – and the Wolverine star fancies himself rather good at it.
‘There’s no doubt it’s a lot of fun because let’s face it, it’s one of the great – it should be an Olympic sport – trolling Ryan Reynolds,’ Jackman said.
‘I’m pretty sure I’ll be out there for the gold, but I think everyone would enjoy the sport. I think every kid should do it.’
