The dynamic that Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds share is truly like no other in the film industry. Over the years, fans have seen many celebrities pretend to have beef with certain people just for the sake of a bit, making fun of each other for a joke. However, none have taken it to the lengths that these two actors take, going above and beyond to commit to the joke.
While many might think that they started the entire joke around the release of their beloved film,Deadpool & Wolverine,the truth could not be further from it. For years, they have been planning elaborate schemes to mock each other in the most public and hilarious ways possible, and nothing showcases this better than a video from almost four years ago.
Hugh Jackman Likes R.M. Williams Shoes—A Little Too Much?
In 2020,Ryan Reynoldsposted an ad for leather company R.M. Williams on hisYouTubechannel. While the actor is known for putting out similar things where he makes some other joke about Deadpool or himself, fans were surprised to see that the ad did not feature the actor at all. Instead, they were introduced toHugh Jackman,sitting in a fine office room, with his legs on the desk, talking to someone.
Speaking highly of the shoes, the camera reveals to the viewer that Jackman is, in fact, wearing nothing but his shoes for the video, despite the man in front of him being clearly uncomfortable. Trying to promote the shoes, he hammers on the fact that the shoes are so comfortable that he does not wish to wear anything else.

He added that he was contractually required to only wear items from the brand; hence his choice of clothing. The ad continues as the person opposite to him gets more and more uncomfortable, mentioning that Jackman is sitting completely bare on a brand-new chair.
The camera also had to work around the actor’s passion, having to censor almost half the screen when zooming into the boots. While the people who made the ad must have had some odd moments, there is no denying that it is quite a hilarious bit.
A True Friendship
It is a commonly held notion that Ryan Reynolds is naturally hilarious. He has a dry sort of humor that makes it easy for him to get along and bond with basically anyone. Fans have seen similar instances with several of his other co-stars, who cannot stop laughing when they are in his company.
While some could credit his comedic timing to be the reason why he has such an iconic dynamic with Hugh Jackman, there may be more to it. Seeing from the video itself, there is one evident detail that makes theWolverineactor different from all of Reynolds’ past comedic partners; Jackman also leans into the joke and even plays it up.

The actor frequently publically challenges Reynolds in a way no other celebrity is able to. Even before ketchup and mustard met how they always should have, fans have been delighted by hilarious videos of the two constantly being at each other’s throats.
Rather than it being one actor annoying an A-list celebrity, it is two of Hollywood’s finest, playing out an elaborate scheme just to annoy the other. The fact that they both can match each other’s energy and even double down on it is what makes their friendship so unique.
