Hugh Jackman Shades 'Deadpool & Wolverine' Co-Star & Friend Ryan Reynolds at New York City Concert
Hugh Jackman threw some shade at his buddy Ryan Reynolds during his concert on Friday night (April 18) in New York City.
The 56-year-old entertainer performed his From New York, With Love show at Radio City Music Hall, and at one point, took time to call out his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star and shared “one little gripe” he has about the duo’s Marvel film.

Hugh noted that he loved making the movie and had the time of his life, but he was a little hurt by the opening musical number.
“Don’t tell Ryan… I don’t need to be in every scene in the movie. But Ryan is a writer. And when I see the script, I see that the scene that I’m not in is the opening sequence which is a dance number to an NSYNC song by Ryan,” Hugh said, via Daily Mail. “I’m like, the one scene I’m not in has dance. Now Ryan, he’s very talented, but dancing?”
“There is no way I would try and match Ryan’s dance double Nick Pauley… because the guy’s like 25 years old,” he added.
Hugh then tried to “rectify” it and brought his trainer and former dancer Beth Lewis on stage and they did the “Bye Bye Bye” dance!
If you missed it, Hugh recently launched his own theater company, and he’s set to return to the stage himself in an upcoming play.
