Ryan Reynolds is putting aside his with Hugh Jackman to wish him a happy 56th birthday.
“I hope we get to do this til we’re 90. Happy Birthday, @thehughjackman. A lot of years. A lot of adventures,” Reynolds captioned a carousel of pics of the “Deadpool & Wolverine” co-stars Oct. 12 .
The photos included several shots of the two actors posing and laughing together over the years.
The surprisingly touching tone of Reynolds’ tribute is a far cry from how he has — and vice versa — on special occasions in years past.
Reynolds and Jackman, who first met on the set of the 2009 movie “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” have made fans laugh with their for years.
In December 2016 , Jackman held a cutout of Reynolds’ face over his own while pretending to be the Canadian actor.
“How could a guy who failed his high school drama class be this talented?” Jackman-as-Reynolds said. “I have no answer for that. But to quote my favorite actor in the world, the great Australian Hugh Jackman, who, by the way, was People’s Sexiest Man Alive way before me, ‘Americans are the most generous country on the planet.’”
In 2021, Reynolds celebrated Jackman’s birthday by wearing a pair of socks adorned with an image of Jackson’s face. Reynolds unveiled the socks in a set to the tune of “A Million Dreams,” one of the songs Jackman sings in “The Greatest Showman.”
In his caption, he wrote, “Socks to be Hugh.”
Jackman responded to Reynolds’ TikTok in , where he implied that Reynolds was obsessed with him and had made the socks himself.
“I know, it’s just really sad,” said Jackman.
Jackman poked fun at Reynolds again in January 2023 when he for best original song for “Good Afternoon” from his holiday movie “Spirited.”
In the video, Jackman first expressed his admiration for the film’s stars, including Will Ferrell and Octavia Spencer, and its composers, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, with whom he worked on “The Greatest Showman,” before explaining how an Oscar nod for Reynolds would only make his ego bigger.
“Ryan Reynolds getting a nomination in the best song category would make the next year of my life insufferable,” said Jackman, who was set to film 2024’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” with Reynolds.
“I have to spend a year with him shooting ‘Wolverine and Deadpool’ and trust me, it would be impossible. It would be a problem,” added Jackman.
“So, just to recap. Love ‘Spirited.’ Love Will. Love Octavia. Love the song ‘Good Afternoon.’ Love Benj and Justin. But please, please, from the bottom of my heart, do not validate Ryan Reynolds in this way. Please,” he added.
Reynolds responded by that the Oscar nomination wouldn’t really be for him and Will Ferrell — it would be for the “deepfakes” that sang and danced for the pair.
Heat Jackman for slyly referring to “Deadpool 3” as “Wolverine and Deadpool,” reversing the order of their characters’ names.
“Also, Wolverine and Deadpool, bub?” he wrote.
