Hugh Jackman (54) gave a playful nod to Ryan Reynolds’ (46) recent Instagram post, in which the latter jokingly claimed he was working out to prepare for spending extended time with Hugh. Ryan’s post elicited a cheeky response from Hugh, who offered a winking reply to his good friend and colleague.
“It’s no contest”
Ryan Reynolds recently posted a gym photo on his Instagram showing him lifting heavy weights. In the caption, the Canadian actor made a playful reference to the upcoming release of the “Deadpool” movie in 2024. Ryan wrote, “I’m not working out for the movie, I’m getting ready to spend months with Hugh Jackman, who, contrary to popular belief, isn’t as pleasant as everyone thinks.”
In retaliation, Hugh Jackman shared his own gym photo on Friday, showcasing his weightlifting exercises. The 54-year-old actor took a playful swipe at Ryan Reynolds’ 46 years in the caption, writing, “Although I’m older at 54, it’s not a competition.” Despite the lighthearted teasing, Hugh made it clear that the two of them were not in competition with each other.
