Hugh Jackman momentarily believed he’d received an adoring birthday message from his close friend/arch nemesis Ryan Reynolds.
Alas, he’d been trolled again.
The two Marvel stars, who have a history of bickering online, called a truce earlier this year ― which lasted less than a week. Now they’re at it again, with the Deadpool actor creating a surprise birthday video for the Aussie star’s 51st that was played during Hugh’s The Man. The Music. The Show. concert in Indianapolis on Saturday night.
The latest jokey spat between the two ignited when Hugh quipped, after a particularly impressive musical number: “Let’s see Ryan Reynolds do that.”
“Don’t post that! Do not post that!” Hugh told the crowd. “I’ll have 3 million tweets from him in the next 10 seconds.”
