Ryan Reynolds reduces Hugh Jackman to tears as he shares heartwarming tribute: 'I don't know anyone more thoughtful, and classy'

As a longtime admirer and follower of Hollywood, I can honestly say that Ryan Reynolds’ heartfelt tribute to his friend and co-star Hugh Jackman is nothing short of inspiring. Having witnessed numerous collaborations between actors throughout my years of immersion in the film industry, this friendship stands out as a beacon of camaraderie and mutual respect.


Ryan Reynolds has shared a heartwarming tribute to his co-star and friend Hugh Jackman.

On Monday, Ryan, aged 47, used Instagram to publish a set of pictures highlighting his journey with Hugh, who is 55, accompanied by an extensive caption explaining their initial encounter.

He also revealed how their Deadpool & Wolverine collaboration came about.

‘On August 14th, 2022, @thehughjackman stopped his car to call me,’ Ryan began.

Despite enduring a tough week with falling ill, two flats tires, and an unknown individual vandalizing his house by egging it, an unexpected turn of events transpired swiftly. He informed me that he was determined to retrieve The Wolverine.

Ryan went on to reveal the excitement he felt the first time he saw Hugh in the Wolverine suit.

“Upon setting foot on that set wearing that suit, I could sense an air of excitement. In that moment, I found myself believing all would turn out well.” (Hugh’s words)

Later on, Ryan elaborated about their initial encounter, marking the start of a 17-year bond between them. This man, whom Ryan referred to as his “friend and most admired actor”, was none other than Hugh.

‘I met him in Sydney around 2007,’ Ryan continued.

Previously, he was a well-known film personality, while I joined the set as a secondary actor. Arriving halfway through filming isn’t much different from entering a new school for the first time. Needless to say, I was quite anxious and jittery.

Ryan mentioned that Hugh made both him and the entire team feel comfortable, a sentiment he’s never forgotten.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’ve observed that film sets can sometimes harbor an unsettling imbalance of power. However, what stood out to me was how one individual consistently demonstrated genuine respect and appreciation towards each crew member. In my own words, I recall witnessing this exceptional behavior firsthand.

‘He made a case that the term ‘filmmaker’ isn’t just for people with their name on the poster.’

Ryan continued the expansive tribute, gushing over Hugh and referring to him as THE X-Man.

“Hugh is not only considerate and sophisticated, but he goes above and beyond for those he cares about, whether they are close friends or strangers,” he remarked.

Not only did Hugh Jackman bring Wolverine fans’ dreams to life, but he also fulfilled mine. Indeed, he embodies the essence of THE X-Man.

Hugh couldn’t help but be touched by the heartfelt tribute; it moved him so much that he felt compelled to join the conversation and share that Ryan’s words had left him with tears in his eyes.

‘And now I’m crying again,’ Hugh wrote.

Another commenter summed up the sentiment of many with: ‘The best of bromances.’
