Jackman will be reuniting with his ‘Wolverine‘ co-star Ryan Reynolds in the third installment of ‘Deadpool.’ However, the two share a very funny relationship with each other.

The song titled ‘Good Afternoon‘ from Ryan’s Christmas movie ‘Spirited‘ has been nominated for Best Song at the Oscars. Jackman is now begging the Academy to not further boost his ego.

In a video shared on Twitter, the Australian actor said, “Ryan Reynolds getting a nomination in the best song category would make the next year of my life insufferable,” he said jokingly. “I have to spend a year with him shooting Wolverine and Deadpool. Trust me, it would be impossible. It would be a problem.”

The actor then praised the film and said he enjoyed it with his family and “laughed the entire way through.” “It is absolutely brilliant.”
