Yahoo Movies Hugh Jackman praises Ryan Reynolds' "incredible" Deadpool 3 performance
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman might feud for social media, but we know they really like each other.
Case in point, at the press conference for Deadpool & Wolverine on Friday (July 12) in London, which Digital Spy attended, Jackman was full of praise for seeing Reynolds at work on set, especially when he's wearing the Deadpool suit.
"It's incredible to watch. I've known Ryan for 17 years, and I've always known he's incredibly talented and funny, but to see the specificity, to see the details," he recalled.

"Actors are always saying, 'Where's the camera?' and you hear that all the time, but I'm on set, and Ryan is going, 'Can you see my hand? What about if I put it here? What about my shoulders?'. He's communicating with every part of his body.
"When I go to Ryan's house, there's always a TV playing TCM, it's often Buster Keaton movies and these sort of greats. I'm on set going, 'Oh I see, this is a modern-day Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, this is that level of expertise'."
For Reynolds, acting as Deadpool in the suit where he can't rely on his facial expressions actually has a benefit for him.
"Honestly, it's clown work. Your hands, your voice, your mannerisms, the slightest movement to the largest movement, they're all basically conveying micro facial expressions that I can't produce," he explained.

"My voice has to do that heavy lifting, and so does my body. I actually never feel freer than when I'm under that mask."
We don't have too much longer to wait to see the duo together on screen as their iconic characters. We've had to wait longer than expected, but Reynolds has also revealed why the strike delay had a benefit for the movie.
Reynolds has also explained that the movie's "Marvel Jesus" joke isn't a reference to the MCU's recent struggles.
Deadpool & Wolverine is released in UK cinemas on July 25 and in US cinemas on July 26.
