Hugh Jackman (finally) responds to Ryan Reynolds' 'Deadpool' diss

Better late than never.

The world was suddenly reminded of the fact that Deadpool hit movie theaters within the calendar year of 2016 when the movie picked up wins at the Critics Choice Awards and nominations for Golden Globes. And there was that whole thing where star Ryan Reynolds got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with the most adorable children known to man.

In response to all this goodwill towards Reynolds and his Merc With a Mouth superhero, Hugh Jackman had to act. For a little over a year now, Jackman and Reynolds have had the kind of feud that is so low key you might have missed it altogether. It started way back in November 2015 with Reynolds pretending to be Jackman while wearing his (very unattractive) Deadpool makeup. It continued with some Wolverine disses in Deadpool itself. And now we have a response from Jackman.

The Logan star got an A+ Reynolds mask and posted a "100% real video by him on being honored with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame today.”

“You may remember me from such things as People Magazine’s 2010 Sexiest Man Alive or the 12th best DC Comics movie Green Lantern," Jackman says. "Who would have thought just three years after getting a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, I would be getting a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Yep, I now join the ranks of other great Canadians such as William Shatner, Leslie Nelson and Tommy Chong."

"How could a guy who failed his high school drama class be this talented?" he continues. "I have no answer for that. But to quote my favorite actor in the world, the great Australian Hugh Jackman, who, by the way, was People’s Sexiest Man Alive way before me, ‘Americans are the most generous country on the planet.’

Jackman finishes on this note: "So, thank you, America, and feel free to urinate on my section of the sidewalk.”
