Ryan Reynolds Wishes Hugh Jackman a Happy Birthday With a Twist

Today is Hugh Jackman’s birthday. The movie star celebrated by enjoying a heavenly slice of cake. His friend/rival Ryan Reynolds is in Atlanta filming Red Notice but took to Instagram to wish Jackman a happy birthday. The two X-Men movies stars have a history of throwing jokes and pulling pranks on social media. As is his way, Reynolds had to send his birthday wishes with a joke, remarking that Jackman’s family and furniture were taken to Atlanta to celebrate Jacmkman’s birthday with Reynolds, leaving Jackman alone in his home. Reynolds does say that they all miss him. You can see the video for yourself below.

In the past, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds amused their fans with by announcing a temporary truce in their long-running “feud.” “It is not over, but look, we’re in extraordinary times,” Jackman said. “Deb actually said to me, ‘Look, really, this is the time to rethink all that. Maybe it’s time to build a bridge.’ I wasn’t ready for that, but actually Blake reached out. Blake and Deb have been brokering this thing and we came up with participating in the all-in challenge. Whoever wins, we’re going to go and do a lemonade stand together. That’s how much I really want to support the frontline workers and make sure people have food and all of that sort of thing. But listen, we’ve been reaching out to Blake, we talk to her because imagine, can you imagine being stuck in the house with Ryan? It must be brutal for her. So really, we’re reaching out.”

The All In Challenge is an effort to fight against food insecurity during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Jackman and Reynolds announced their truce for charity via a video that included a couple of nods to Marvel and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Jackman and Reynolds have gone back and forth for years now. They held their last truce for a year. The feud reignited in March when Reynolds and wife Blake Lively donated $1 million to relief for the coronavirus pandemic. Reynolds also gave out Jackman’s (fake)phone number. Reynolds struck again on Jackman’s wedding anniversary. He trolled Jackman in an Instagram post about his relationship with his wife. Reynolds also gave Jackman a present to celebrate the third anniversary of the premiere of Logan. The present was the dead-Wolverine music box that appeared in Deadpool

Jackman has done his share to keep the “feud” going as well. Over the year that the “truce” was in place, Jackman “accidentally” leaked a video of himself saying some negative things about Reynolds. He made fun of Reynolds during last year’s Sexiest Man Alive announcement. He asked the Internet to choose between the two of them in a “who wore it best” photo. Jackman and Reynolds also had an online altercation surrounding Reynolds’ movie Free Guy. Someone photoshopped Jackman’s head over Reynold’s face on the Free Guy poster and Jackman shared it on Instagram.
