00:00Hi.
00:00Hi.
00:01Hey, first time on camera here.
00:03My name is Ryan Reynolds.
00:04I'm Hugh Jackman.
00:05Yes.
00:05Yes.
00:06And we're going to do the GQ friendship quiz.
00:09It's a little trademark thing at the top there.
00:11It's just for GQ, so don't ever think about trying this on another rival magazine.
00:16Or board game.
00:17Yeah, good housekeeping.
00:18Or Disney ride.
00:19Don't even try.
00:20I'm in.
00:20Go.
00:21What is my biggest on-set pet peeve?
00:23This is pretty obvious.
00:24People being late.
00:25Give yourself one point.
00:26Nailed it.
00:26Yes.
00:27Yeah.
00:27And Hugh is punctual as hell.
00:29I am punctual.
00:29My god, yeah.
00:30Yeah.
00:30Okay, why did I say yes to this movie?
00:32It was a calling.
00:33Like, your heart told you you needed to be as close to me as humanly possible.
00:37I said right.
00:38That's right.
00:39We needed each other.
00:40Yes.
00:41And not just this movie.
00:42No.
00:42Forever.
00:43Forever.
00:44Ding.
00:44Point.
00:45What is my full name?
00:45Do you know my middle name?
00:46Yes, of course you do.
00:47Michael.
00:48That's right.
00:48Yeah.
00:49Hugh.
00:50Yeah.
00:50Sister Michael Jackman.
00:52You could air the AC.
00:53Oh, I could, yeah.
00:54Yeah, Order of Australia.
00:56Guy's a big deal over here.
00:58It's not just MTV Best Kiss nominations for Hugh Jackman.
01:01Nope.
01:02Who would make me starstruck?
01:04Ah, Gretzky came to mind, but you actually now know him.
01:07He's pretty good, though.
01:08That was pretty starstruck.
01:09Yeah.
01:09I'm thinking of you as youth.
01:10It would be hockey.
01:11I'm going to say Gretzky.
01:12Gretzky.
01:13I mean, that's a great one.
01:14That's Canada's pope.
01:15Yeah, the pope.
01:16Ding.
01:16What was my first impression of you?
01:18Oh, I know mine of you, but that's interesting.
01:20We don't ever think about this, you know?
01:22I would say emergency harvestable organs.
01:25I would say that you saw a sack of skin there
01:27with healthy young kidneys and liver and heart,
01:30and you thought, what if I, movie star Hugh Jackman,
01:32need something?
01:33What if something were to happen to me?
01:35Yeah.
01:35The entire economy would suffer.
01:37Art would suffer.
01:38That's good, but wrong.
01:39I thought tall, incredibly talented, on time,
01:42hardworking.
01:43Ding.
01:44What is the best way to get on my nerves?
01:47Poke you in the mouth on day one.
01:49Poking me in the mouth day one.
01:50Through the mask day one.
01:51Thought it was a hard mask, but actually not.
01:55Right in the lip.
01:56Soft.
01:57Yes.
01:58And also kind of essential to the guy playing the merc
02:00with the mouth.
02:01Yes.
02:02That's fine.
02:02That's fine.
02:03But that didn't actually get on my nerves.
02:04What is my best party trick, actually?
02:06What is your best?
02:08There's a lot of best parts, a lot of talent there.
02:11Well, I mean, it's not a trick, but one thing
02:13I've always adored is that on Fridays,
02:14Hugh hands out scratchies to all the crew members on set.
02:18Not lice.
02:20Scratchies.
02:21Like scratch and wins.
02:23That's one.
02:24Other party trick?
02:26Well, I mean, God, you can see.
02:27We share this.
02:28If I'm being very literal, like a party, a trick at a party,
02:32we share something in common there.
02:33Blackout drunk.
02:34Yeah.
02:36Just blackout abusive.
02:37Leaving within the first 20 minutes.
02:39Oh, yeah.
02:39We both have that.
02:40Yeah.
02:40I'm going to give you that point.
02:42We will ghost a party.
02:44Yeah.
02:44No problem.
02:45What was the moment you realized that we
02:47were going to be best friends?
02:48Oh, my God.
02:50I knew we were going to be friends when we first met.
02:52Not just Hollywood friends.
02:53Like a showbiz arrangement ship that happens once in a while,
02:57right?
02:57Where you're like.
02:58100%.
02:58People who are on that.
02:59But when you get older, you stop doing that shit.
03:01You work on movies with people that you really like.
03:03And you're like, oh, mate, I'm never going to see you again.
03:06But this was amazing.
03:08But with us, yeah, we've always been real friends.
03:11Probably about 10 years ago.
03:12Yeah.
03:13Something like that.
03:13Yeah.
03:14Oh, what is my process for getting into character?
03:16Wow.
03:17I probably just, you know, tapping
03:20his vast and inexhaustible resource of searing
03:24psychic pain and rage.
03:25I think.
03:26Ding.
03:26Is that the sentence we're looking for?
03:28I think that's what it is.
03:29Yeah.
03:29All right.
03:30Hit me.
03:30Oh, God.
03:31Do I have any superstitions?
03:32And what are they?
03:33No.
03:33You're not superstitious at all.
03:35Hit me.
03:35Go for it.
03:36Oh, what's on my rider?
03:37What is on your rider?
03:38What is not on his rider?
03:40He'll only drink Cher's tears, which, by the way,
03:44are very difficult to harvest.
03:46Right.
03:47Because she has to be in a state to collect them.
03:51What else is on your rider?
03:53Almonds.
03:53Yes.
03:54Protein powder.
03:55Freshly pitted Greek olives.
03:57Locally purchased deli meats.
03:58Anyway, you heard it here first.
04:00If I could have any superhero's power, what would it be?
04:05Teleporting.
04:06Teleporting.
04:07Because you hate being away from your family.
04:09I do.
04:10And sometimes in our job we have to be other places.
04:12And if you could just, and then return.
04:15Just tuck the kids into bed.
04:16Right.
04:18Yeah, that would be really nice.
04:20What is the best prank I've pulled on you?
04:23The best prank you've pulled on me?
04:27I mean, we did a commercial together years ago
04:30for Laughing Man Coffee and Aviation Gin.
04:33And I made a spectacular ad for his company.
04:36And he thought I was going to take the piss.
04:39So he took the piss.
04:42All the piss.
04:42The piss was all gone.
04:43Ryan Reynolds is a complete and total f***er.
04:47There's been a bunch though.
04:48Come on over to my house.
04:49It's a Christmas party.
04:50Everyone's wearing an ugly sweater.
04:52No they're not.
04:53Everybody's wearing f***ing Dior and shit.
04:55And I'm in the ugly sweater.
04:57Yep, that was fun.
04:58What is the best prank that I've pulled on you?
05:03Oh, when you asked me to come and look after your kids for an hour
05:07and then you didn't come back for like three months.
05:09Oh, I started a new life in Sweden.
05:10Yeah, with another family.
05:11That was so funny.
05:13That was great.
05:13That was hilarious.
05:14That was great.
05:15What's my go-to workout?
05:16What is your go-to workout?
05:18Oh, God.
05:19Low angle squat thrusts.
05:22And we only made one of them too.
05:24It's a six foot two hundred and ninety seven pound shake weight.
05:30Which you kind of have to dry hump to get the whole exercise just right.
05:34All my secrets are out.
05:35That is not a scalable business, that one.
05:37What am I recognized for the most?
05:40Deadpool.
05:41Yeah.
05:42The movie where you never see my face.
05:45It's awesome.
05:46It's kind of awesome.
05:47Who's the bigger diva on set?
05:49You or me?
05:50Buddy, you are the most likable man on earth.
05:54I'm sorry, I'm actually giving a serious answer now.
05:56You're not a diva at all.
05:57No, you're the opposite of that.
05:58Yeah.
05:59Can we say Sean Levy, our director?
06:00Well, no, Sean is the biggest diva for sure.
06:03Yeah, we're here doing press.
06:04He's grooming his an hour and a half.
06:05Hugh makes ice cream look like murder.
06:08Right.
06:08I mean, that's how nice he is.
06:10Okay, I'm going to hit you.
06:11What is one thing about me that you think people would be surprised to learn?
06:15Pretty open book.
06:16You are, I don't have to be surprised, but I think it's worth saying.
06:20You're as funny, if not funnier, off camera.
06:24And also, you're incredibly honest in life.
06:29I mean, you're an actor in Hollywood and successful,
06:32but you're ridiculously honest.
06:33Wow, I appreciate that.
06:35Yeah, and hairless, that's the other thing.
06:37I mean, there's this, but nothing.
06:39Describe all the Wolverine costumes I've worn.
06:41Points for each costume you get right.
06:43Tank top and jeans.
06:44Yes.
06:44T-shirt and jeans.
06:46Yes.
06:46Jeans and a jean t-shirt.
06:48Right.
06:49Jeans and a denim chapeau.
06:52Yes.
06:52Denim lederhosen.
06:53Yes.
06:54Denim condoms.
06:54Yes.
06:55Denim diapers.
06:56Denim condoms.
06:57Denim underwear.
06:58Canadian tuxedos.
06:59Denim on denim on denim.
07:00Is that Lumberjack Logan?
07:01Yep, that's Lumberjack Logan.
07:03One time you wore a saber-toothed set.
07:05That was weird.
07:06Nobody felt good about that.
07:07And then one day, the yellow came along.
07:09That's right.
07:10I remember it very well because both Ryan and I walked onto set.
07:14Me in the yellow, Ryan in the red.
07:16You know, this is a film crew.
07:18They've done hundreds of films.
07:19I'm not saying they're jaded, but they've seen it all.
07:21And there was a hush on set and there was a really cool moment.
07:24And that's when you saw, like, fanning out.
07:27I think what Logan in Wolverine and what you've done over 24 years means to some of those people.
07:33One of the crew members, I remember, when he saw Hugh in the yellow suit, said,
07:37this is the best day of my life.
07:38And he wasn't being ironic.
07:40I mean, he was probably not saying that around his wife.
07:42But there were a lot of that.
07:43A lot of, like, this is the most incredible.
07:45It's just iconography, you know, but wow.
07:47That was Ryan's idea.
07:48His first idea when I said I want to do it, he goes, we've got to put you in the yellow.
07:51And I was like, we can try, but I don't know if we're going to make it work.
07:54And now I can't see it any other way.
07:56But how crazy would it be if I was in this red body condom for the whole movie and you're...
08:00Some tank top.
08:01And you're, like, wearing your civvies.
08:03What's a phrase I say all the time?
08:04Extra points for an accurate impression.
08:06Oh.
08:07I have one that I say to my kids.
08:09You're not one of my kids.
08:11One thing I say to my kids a lot, and you'll remember this, is that you can't really be any good at anything
08:16unless you're willing to suck at it.
08:18Let's just go with that.
08:19What would I say is my biggest achievement so far?
08:22On very rare occasion, like I'm talking blood moon rare,
08:27that you will prioritize your own well-being over others.
08:32Seeing you at this point in your life, watching you on set,
08:37watching you inhabit relationships with me and Sean and friends and this role,
08:43seeing you take that stage in that moment is amazing.
08:46Because the guy I've known for 17 years terminally puts everyone else first.
08:51And so to see you once in a while say,
08:53What's going to put a smile on my face?
08:55That, I would say, is a big achievement.
08:57Does that get me a point, though?
08:58That's all I care about.
08:59Ten.
09:00Okay, well, great.
09:01Ten points.
09:02What was the first comic book movie I was in?
09:04Blade.
09:05Blade.
09:06Yeah, Blade.
09:07Trinity.
09:08Blade III.
09:09What is my favorite line that I've ever performed?
09:10Favorite line as Wolverine.
09:11It's not go fuck yourself.
09:12There was one line where I said, I'm Canadian.
09:15Country needs you.
09:18I'm Canadian.
09:19I like that one.
09:20Oh, that's good.
09:21That was a good sucking up Canadian.
09:23Also Canadian superheroes?
09:24When does this kind of happen?
09:25Yeah.
09:26Like, amazing.
09:27What was my big break?
09:28Two guys and a pizza girl.
09:29Yes.
09:30I always get that wrong.
09:31What is the strangest stunt I've had to do?
09:33One of the worst ones I've ever seen you do, like painful, is the dead man.
09:37It's called the dead man for a reason.
09:39Yeah, that's pretty good.
09:41What was my favorite scene to shoot in Deadpool and Wolverine?
09:45Can't say, because I'm going to give it away.
09:47I could say that it's a scene in which I'm mostly listening.
09:50In the van?
09:51Yeah, when I have a monologue that you wrote beautifully for me.
09:54Yeah, but that's it.
09:55What was my Guinness World Record for?
09:57What was your Guinness World Record for?
10:00Is it a puzzle?
10:01No.
10:02No, it's not a puzzle.
10:03God.
10:04It's to do with taking human life.
10:05No, playing a character, this character, ten times.
10:08That's right.
10:09Longest career as a live action Marvel character.
10:11He would be reclaiming it with this movie.
10:14He has a lot of residuals.
10:16I don't know what you guys at home are thinking, but I'm thinking he makes it rain with checks.
10:19What is something that you learned from me?
10:22What I learned about you on this one, I'm going to really say, as a producer and as a writer,
10:27that you are more generous with everyone else on set.
10:32You will actually sacrifice something that's good for Deadpool if it's good for the movie.
10:36And I would say generous at heart.
10:38You can't take a point away from me being earnest.
10:40What am I supposed to do?
10:43Bro.
10:44I only taste suffering.
10:46No, thank you for that.
10:47That was very...
10:48I don't know.
10:49I see what happens when I lose all my words when you say something nice.
10:51If I had to recast Wolverine in Deadpool, who would I choose?
10:53Let's not give anyone ideas.
10:55Yeah, right.
10:56We really love our jobs.
10:58Please, no.
10:59Stop it.
11:00Someone will say, awesome, and it's so much cheaper.
