Hugh Jackman said working with an Oscar-nominated Ryan Reynolds would be ‚insufferable‘ in a hilarious Twitter video.
Hugh Jackman is putting his foot down against a potential Oscars nomination for Ryan Reynolds in a hilarious way. In a video he posted to Twitter on the morning of Jan. 4, the 54-year-old actor and singer pleaded with the members of the Motion Picture Academy to not nominate the song “Good Afternoon” from Ryan’s latest holiday movie for AppleTV, Spirited, for the Original Song trophy at the upcoming 95th Academy Awards. “It’s 2023 and I really really wanted to send out a positive message at the beginning of the year, but recent events have made that impossible,” Jackman began his video as he sat on a white chaise.
He went on to praise how “great” Spirited, a musical comedy retelling of Charles Dickens‘ A Christmas Carol, is and even said he watched it with his entire family and “had a blast.” He specifically commended the performances by stars Will Ferrell and Octavia Spencer, as well as the writers, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who composed the music and lyrics for The Greatest Showman, in which Hugh starred.
