Ryan Reynolds Gatecrashes Eddie The Eagle Junket With Hugh Jackman

Ben Arnold

Ryan Reynolds is proving to be quite the renaissance man.

Riding high on the back of the massive success of ‘Deadpool’, he’s now turning his hand to celebrity interviews.

And frankly, judging by this performance, it’s about time.

He gatecrashed an 'Eddie The Eagle’ junket this week and proceeded to grill the movie’s star, one Hugh Jackman, on matters of immense cinematic importance.

Such as 'do you ever age?’ and 'do you do all your own acting?’

(The answers being 'not since 2008’, and 'if there’s sex scenes, I do them’.)

He even coaxed a Crocodile Dundee impersonation out of the Aussie star, which was obviously very pleasing indeed.

'Eddie The Eagle’, starring Jackman alongside Taron Edgerton as the ski jumper Eddie Edwards, is due out in April.

'Deadpool’, meanwhile, is out now across the UK.

"Recent developments have increased the risk of a disorderly balance of payments adjustment and of Bolivia not having sufficient hard currency to ensure full and timely repayment of its external debt obligations and imports," Moody's said in a statement. Moody's also said that it expects significant credit challenges to remain, including very low foreign-exchange reserve levels, shrinking production levels in the hydrocarbon sector, and elevated domestic political risk.
