Ryan Reynolds hilariously roasts Hugh Jackman with ‘political’ video

RYAN Reynolds has taken another jab at Hugh Jackman in their ongoing joke feud, pointing out all the lies the Australian star has told his fans.

HUGH Jackman once again appears to be the focus of fellow actor Ryan Reynolds’ off-kilter sense of humour, with the Deadpool star releasing a mock political ad about The Greatest Showman.

The parody, released on social media, runs for just over 40 seconds and talks about Jackman’s latest movie, The Front Runner, in which he portrays one-time presidential candidate Gary Hart. By Reynolds’ reckoning, Jackman “has fooled some people into thinking he deserves an award”.

“But before voting begins, some people should consider these facts,” the video says, before going on to note that “Hugh Jackman isn’t his real name.”

It’s actually “Hugh Michael Jackman,” says an in-character Reynolds in the video, as a birth document highlighting the actor’s middle name appears on the screen.

“Hugh Michael speaks with a charming accent but he’s actually from Milwaukee,” he adds, suggesting that Jackman contributed to the nation’s unemployment rate by walking “off the job on Wolverine”.

“Is this the type of amazing actor and nice person we want delivering a preachy liberal speech this award season?” Reynolds says. “Or maybe there’s a real foreigner from a bordering country who would really love it. A lot.”

At that moment, an image of Reynolds, who was born in Canada, is seen.

“I’m not Ryan Reynolds and I approve this message,” the video continues.

Jackman, who portrayed P.T, Barnum in The Greatest Showman and has repeatedly played X-Men superhero Wolverine, reacted on Twitter with his own video captioned “HIGH ROAD.” In the clip, Jackman is seen cleaning up dog droppings from atop a photo of Reynolds.
