The success of Deadpool & Wolverine propelled Ryan Reynolds’ and Hugh Jackman’s careers to new heights, and since they have been doing a lot of press tours and interviews, fans get to know them even more.
In one instance, Jackman reveals his job before he became an actor and shares one anecdote about it. His costar and friend’s witty response to it was even more hilarious because it sounded like something Deadpool would do in real life.
Hugh Jackman Talks About His Past Job And Ryan Reynolds’ Response Was Hilariously Wicked
Guesting on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show via BBC Radio 2, actor Hugh Jackman admits he worked as a gas station attendant in the past and during those times, he had several encounters with customers asking for his help to change the oil in their cars.
I worked in a gas station from midnight to dawn for four years and I can’t tell you how many times people would come in and say – they were so embarrassed – “I need to change the oil in my car and this is so embarrassing. I’ve never done it before. Can you help me?”
Jackman would give the best excuse to cover up the fact that he doesn’t know how to change oil. “And I’m like, ‘I’m really sorry, but for security purposes, I’m not allowed to leave the console.’ Because I had absolutely no idea,” the Australian star explained.
Of course, his buddy and Deadpool & Wolverine costar Ryan Reynolds would definitely do the opposite just for the heck of it. “I would’ve just gone for it,” the Canadian actor chimed in eagerly.
I would have poured Canadian maple syrup inside there and been like: listen, you didn’t ask for certification or anything like that. You came in here and now you’re screwed. Should’ve known better.
Jackman couldn’t contain his laughter over Reynolds’ statement. Surely, the latter isn’t too serious about doing that in real life, but it’s absolutely something Deadpool would do and fans know it.
On the show’s Instagram comment section, mysticmayhem_rox said, “That’s Deadpool behavior right there” while skapgnork replied, “Lawfully good vs chaotic good.” On the other hand, fashionandstyleedit called Jackman’s excuse, “Brilliant” while carlinef2 thinks “Ryan R. always hilarious!”
Will Ryan Reynolds Play Deadpool Again?
After three Deadpool movies, Reynolds gets honest about the future of his beloved anti-hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He shared via Collider:
Right in this moment, I have no idea if I’ll ever wear that Deadpool suit again — I hope I do — but I don’t know. Right now’s the time to just kind of hang it up for a bit and see what happens next.
Deadpool & Wolverine successfully broke through $1 billion in global ticket sales this weekend, a huge feat for an R-rated movie. The figure will surely increase in the next few weeks.
