Hugh Jackman had the time of his life shooting “Deadpool & Wolverine” with Ryan Reynolds. However, there was “one little gripe” he recently opened up about. According to the Daily Mail, Jackman complained about not being a part of the superhero film’s opening dance sequence, seemingly throwing shade at Reynolds as Blake Lively‘s legal feud with Justin Baldoni continues. The actors and on-screen frenemies are known for their witty and fun-loving friendship, with Jackman declaring he “loved” filming with his co-star.
Hugh Jackman wasn’t happy to be excluded from ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ opening sequence
Ryan Reynolds’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” opening scene was unquestionably a viral sensation, but Hugh Jackman wasn’t too happy about being left out of the dance sequence. The Daily Mail shared an exclusive video of the latter seemingly taking a swipe at Reynolds during a live show of a musical review, “From New York, With Love,” at Radio City Music Hall. Jackman said that he had a blast shooting the blockbuster film with his co-star. However, he had only “one little gripe” from their filming days.
The “Wolverine” star confirmed he “loved” and had the “time of my life” on the sets of the film with Reynolds before sharing his complaint. He noted that their characters were together in nearly every scene except for the opening dance number, which also happened to be the most viral sequence from the film. “Don’t tell Ryan,” Jackman joked, claiming how it’s “fine” as he didn’t “need to be in every scene.” He then voiced his disappointment at being left out of the scene while outwardly highlighting his background in dancing.
“But Ryan is a writer,” Hugh Jackman added. “And when I see the script, I see that the scene that I’m not in is the opening sequence which is a dance number to an NSYNC song by Ryan.” Jackman then pointed out that the “one scene I’m not in has dance.” He then called Reynolds a “talented” star before questioning his dancing skills. Later, during his live show, the Australian actor, with the help of his trainer Beth Lewis, performed his own rendition of “the dance that got away.”
