Ryan Reynoldsis putting a pause on his troll war withHugh Jackmanto share kind words about the actor after he received a major award in his native country.
The actors’ long-running faux feud stems back to 2015, when Jackmanposted a videoon his Instagram of Reynolds impersonating him — Australian accent, and all — in hisDeadpoolmakeup.
Since that time, Jackman, 50, and Reynolds, 42, who costarred inX-Men Origins: Wolverinein 2009, have continued their public trolling and found ways to poke fun at the other on social media.
However, Reynolds’ most recent Instagram post on Friday was all about honoring the Australian actor.
“Receiving the Order of Australia is a HUGE deal,” theDeadpoolactor captioned the solo shot of Jackman wearing his medal.
“And despite what I tell anyone who’ll listen, Hugh Jackman is one of the finest, kindest, hardest working, generous and most talented people I’ve had the privilege to call my friend. There’s nobody better,” Reynolds said.
Despite his kind words, he couldn’t help but end the post with a small jab, adding, “While None of this changes the unfortunate fact he’s a complete bastard.”
Jackman and Reynolds have been joking for years over theDeadpoolactor’s insistence that Jackman revives hisWolverinecharacter so they can appear in a movie together.
But afterseemingly putting their differences asidein February, the bickering was reignited whenJackman suffered a minor injurywhile playing the fan-favorite superhero during one of his stops onhis one-man tourThe Man. The Music. The Show.
“The first time I’ve played #wolverine … and, actually bled. Clearly, it’s @vancityreynolds [Ryan Reynolds’] fault,” Jackman wrote over an image of a scratch on his knuckle. The bit reportedly includes jokes about Reynolds and Jackman playing Wolverine.
“I just don’t think you’ve been practicing enough,” Reynolds replied.
After sparring with each other for years, Reynolds and Jackman announced on their respective social media accounts earlier this year that their friendly feud with each other had officially come to an end.
As a way to mend their “broken relationship,” the actors revealed their plans to make ads for each other’s companies — Reynoldsowns Aviation Gin, while Jackman is thecreator of Laughing Man Coffee— and of course, each expected to out-do the other.
“Official truce with @realhughjackman!” Reynolds wrote alongside ablack and white shotof the pair smiling as they shook hands. “As a gesture of goodwill, I’m gonna make a beautiful ad for his company, Laughing Man Coffee. Can’t wait!”
