Hugh Jackman brought the house back to Radio City Music Hall this weekend, but not before calling his boyfriend aside Ryan Reynolds in front of a roaring crowd.

During his performance as “From New York, With Love” Friday evening, the star of “Greatest Showman” joked on a “gripe” that he had while turning their Smash tube in 2024 “Deadpool & Wolverine” and the fans did not expect tea that he overturned.

“I loved filming the film and I had time for my life,” Jackman told the public, “but I had a little reproach.”

According to a video obtained by the Daily mailJackman explained that even if he did not need to be in each scene of the Marvel blockbuster, a particular omission has bitten, especially given its Broadway history.

“Don’t tell Ryan … I don’t need to be in every scene in the film,” Jackman teased. “But Ryan is a writer. And when I see the script, I see that the scene in which I am not is the opening sequence, which is a dance number for a song * Nsync de Ryan.”

“I am like, the only scene in which I am not in dance. Now Ryan, he’s very talented, but dancing? He said, raising the eyebrows and laughing at the crowd.

Jackman continued the roast, making fun of the double of Reynolds dance: “There is no way that I try to match the double of the dance of Ryan Nick Pauley … because the guy is 25 years old.”

Not one to leave a dance number “Get Away”, Jackman released his own coach and former dancer Beth Lewis to interpret the scene that should have been his, growled towards “Bye Bye” from * NSYNC while the public broke out in applause.

This occurs months after Reynolds has made a rare and emotional public appearance on the radio City Music Hall to support his longtime friend. The opportunity? The opening evening of Jackman’s new one-man show, “From New York, with Love”, a celebration of his life, heritage and a little friendly. And Reynolds, one never to miss an opportunity to roast his best friend, has not disappointed.

“I was told that it was going to be a comedy version of” Les Mis “as an individual spectacle”, joked Reynolds during a surprise appearance for an impromptu session “Hugh & A”. “We all said it was a terrible idea, but he continued. I see that he dive me again! “

But the jokes quickly gave way to real admiration. Reynolds reflected at the first days of their friendship, which started on the set of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” almost two decades ago.

“It was the first big film star with which I worked 16 or 17 years ago,” said Reynolds. “What I saw was almost the best thing you can experience if you work in industry.”

Continued, praising Jackman for his humility and professionalism. “I love this man, I care about this man. He is really the best human being I know, “said Reynolds, before adding with actually,” and I have four children! “

Jackman, still the showman, replied with a smile, calling Reynolds her “fifth best friend” and thanked him jokingly for his arrival, even if he had asked for a free ticket.
