Ryan Reynolds’ Nickname For Hugh Jackman Is ‘Cher’ Because He’s ‘Talented’ & ‘A Bit Of A Diva’

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman first met on the set of “X-Men: Origins” in 2009 and they’ve had a bromance ever since! The two reunited on-screen again for “Deadpool & Wolverine” and revealed when they realized they had a budding friendship. “Working together I just knew I liked him, and you can meet a lot of people on set and go ‘I really like that person’ and maybe we’ll run into each other, maybe we won’t. But, as soon as we got together and talked and after the film it was like, ‘Oh this is a real friendship. This is someone I can tell anything to.’ This is someone whose rooting for me and I’m rooting for him,” Hugh told Access Hollywood’s guest correspondent Emily Orozco. “We project this goofing around and you know taking the piss out of each other and that kind of stuff but in real life we talk about all the vulnerable stuff and it’s good,” Ryan added. For “Deadpool & Wolverine” Hugh doubled in size to reprise his role as the famous X-Men and Ryan said it was “wild” seeing his friend transform his body after starring in “The Music Man.” Ryan also talked about the sweet “Gossip Girl” shout out to his wife Blake Lively in the film. “Deadpool & Wolverine” hits theaters July 26.
