“Now Ryan Reynolds getting a nomination for best song would make the next year of my life unbearable,” Jackman joked in a video. posted on Twitter.
Jackman also joked that if the song received a nomination (which it didn’t), it would make it “impossible” to collaborate with Reynolds on the upcoming “Deadpool 3” film.
Reynolds has also used social media on several occasions to roast your best friendand eventually, the two teamed up to use their fake feud to raise money for charity.
Overall, it seems like Jackman has a supportive shoulder to lean on during these trying times.
