Ryan Reynolds & Hugh Jackman Take a Friendship Quiz

Hi. Hi.

Hey, first time on camera here.

My name's Ryan Reynolds.

I'm Hugh Jackman.

Yes, yes.

And we're gonna do the GQ Friendship Quiz

with the little trademark thing at the top there.

Because it's just for GQ.

So don't ever [beep] think about

trying this on another rival magazine.

Or board game.

Yeah, Good Housekeeping.

Or a Disney ride. Don't even try.

I'm in. Go.

What is my biggest on set pet peeve?

This is pretty obvious.

People being late.

Give yourself one point, nailed it.

Yes. Yeah.

[Hugh whistling]

And Hugh is punctual as hell.

I am actually.

[Ryan] Oh my God, yeah. Yeah.

Okay, why did I say yes to this movie?

It was a calling, like your heart told you

you needed to be as close to me as humanly possible.

You're 100% right.

That's right.

We needed each other.

Yes.

And not just this movie.

No, forever. Forever.

Ding, point.

What is my full name?

Do you know my middle name?

Yes, of course you do.

Michael. That's right.

Yeah, yeah, Hugh, yeah, Sister Michael Jackman.

You could add the AC.

Oh, I could, yeah, yeah.

Order of Australia.

Guy's a big deal over here.

It's not just MTV best kiss nominations for Hugh Jackman.

Nope.

Who would make me starstruck?

Gretzky came to mind, but you actually now know him.

That's pretty good though.

I was pretty starstruck, yeah.

I'm thinking of you as youth, it would be hockey.

I'm gonna say Gretzky.

Gretzky, I mean the great one.

That's Canada's pope.

[Ryan] The pope. Bing.

What was my first impression of you?

Oh, I know mine of you, but that's interesting.

We don't ever think about this.

I would say emergency harvestable organs.

I would say that you saw a sack of skin there

with healthy young kidneys and liver and heart.

And you thought, what if I,

movie star Hugh Jackman, need something?

What if something were to happen to me?

Yeah.

The entire economy would suffer.

Art would suffer.

No, that's good but wrong.

I thought tall, incredibly talented, on time.

Hardworking, bang.

What is the best way to get on my nerves?

Poke you in the mouth on day one.

Poking me in the mouth day one.

Through the mask. Yeah.

Day one.

I thought it was a hard mask, but actually not.

No, the mouth is. Right on the lip.

Soft. Yes.

And also kind of. Loose tooth.

Kind of essential to the

guy playing the Merc with a Mouth.

Yes. [Hugh laughing]

That's fine, that's fine.

But that didn't actually get on my nerves.

What is my best party trick actually?

What is your best?

It was a lot of best but it's a lot of talent there.

Well, I mean it's not a trick,

but one thing I've always adored is that on Fridays,

Hugh hands out scratchies to all the crew members on set.

Not lice, scratchies like scratch and wins.

[Hugh laughing]

That's one.

Other party trick.

Well, I mean, God, you can see.

We share this, if I'm being very literal, like a party.

If I drink at a party, we share something in common there.

Blackout drunk. [Hugh whistling]

Yeah.

[Hugh laughing]

Just blackout, abusive.

Whoa.

Leaving within the first 20 minutes.

Oh yeah, we both have that, yeah.

I'm gonna give you that point

even though I gave it to you.

We will ghost a party.

Yeah, no problem.

What was the moment you realized

that we were gonna be best friends?

Oh my God.

Oh, I knew we were gonna be friends when we first met.

Not just Hollywood friends.

Be like a showbiz arrangementship

that happens once in a while, where you're like.

100%.

People who are on the, yeah,

but when you get older you stop doing that shit.

You work on movies with people

that you really like and you're like,

oh hey, I'm never gonna see you again.

But this was amazing.

[Hugh laughing]

[Hugh] True.

But with us, yeah, we've always been real friends.

Probably about 10 years ago.

Yep.

Something like that. Yeah.

Oh, what is my process for getting into character?

Wow.

I probably just, tapping his vast

and inexhaustible resource of searing psychic pain and rage.

I think. Ding.

Is that the sentence?

[Hugh] That's it, that's it.

That we're looking for, I think that's what it is.

[Hugh] Correct. Yeah.

All right, hit me with your question.

Oh, God, all right.

Do I have any superstitions and what are they?

No, you're not superstitious at all.

Hit me, go for it.

Oh, what's on my rider?

What is on your rider?

What is not on his rider?

He'll only drink Cher's tears.

Which are by the way, are very difficult to harvest.

Right.

Because she has to be in a state to collect them.

What else is on your rider?

[Ryan] Almonds. Yes.

Protein powder.

Freshly pitted Greek olives, locally purchased deli meats.

Anyway, you heard it here first.

If I could have any superhero's power, what would it be?

Teleporting.

Teleporting.

Because you hate being away from your family.

I do hate being away from my family.

And sometimes in our job we have to be other places.

And if you could just.

[Hugh whistling]

And then return.

Just tuck the kids into bed.

Right, yes.

Just bleep out.

That would be really nice.

Yep.

What is the best prank I've pulled on you?

The best prank you've pulled on me.

I mean, we did a commercial together years ago

for Laughing Man Coffee and Aviation Gin.

And I made a spectacular ad for his company.

And he thought I was gonna take the piss.

So he. Took the piss.

Took the piss.

All the piss, the piss was all gone.

Ryan Reynolds is a complete and total [beep].

There's been a bunch though.

Come on over to my house.

It's a Christmas party, everyone's wearing an ugly sweater.

No they're not. Yes.

Everybody's wearing fucking Dior and shit.

And I'm in the ugly sweater.

Yep, that was fun.

What is the best prank that I've pulled on you?

Oh, when you asked me to come

and look after your kids for an hour.

And then you didn't come back for like three months.

Oh, I started a new life.

Yeah, with another family.

Yeah, that was.

That was so funny.

That was great. That was hilarious.

That was great.

What's my go-to workout?

What is your go-to workout?

Oh God, low angle squat thrusts.

Yes.

And we only made one of them too,

a 6'2 197 pound shake weight.

[Hugh laughing]

Which you kind of have to dry hump to get

the whole exercise just right.

But boy.

No more secrets around here.

That is not a scalable business, that one.

What am I recognized for the most?

Deadpool.

Yeah, the movie where you never see my face.

[Hugh laughing]

It's awesome.

It is kind of awesome.

Who's the bigger diva on set, you or me?

Buddy, you.

You are the most likable man on Earth.

I'm sorry, I'm actually giving a serious answer now.

You're not a diva all.

Yeah.

[Hugh] No, you're the opposite of that.

Yeah.

Can we say Shawn Levy, our director?

Well, no, Shawn is the biggest diva for sure.

100%, yeah.

We're here doing press

and his grooming is an hour-and-a-half.

Hugh makes ice cream look like murder.

Right.

I mean that's how nice he is.

Okay, I'm gonna hit you here.

What is one thing about me

that you think people would be surprised to learn?

Pretty open book.

You are, I dunno if they'd be surprised,

but I think it's worth saying.

You're as funny if not funnier off camera.

And also you're incredibly honest in life.

I mean, you're an actor in Hollywood and successful,

but you're ridiculously honest.

Wow. Yeah.

Appreciate that.

Yeah. Yeah.

And hairless, that's other thing.

Straight, yeah.

I mean there's this, but nothing.

I know.

Describe all the Wolverine costumes I've worn,

points for each costume you get right.

Tank top and jeans. Yes.

T-shirt and jeans. Yes.

Jeans and a Jean T-shirt.

Right.

Jeans and a denim Chapeau.

Yes. Denim lederhosen.

Yes.

Denim condoms. Yes.

Denim diapers.

No, denim condoms isn't here.

[Hugh] Denim underwear. Yeah.

Canadian tuxedos.

Denim on denim on denim.

Is that lumberjack Logan?

Yep, that's lumberjack Logan.

One time you wore Sabertooth to set.

That was weird.

Nobody felt good about that.

And then one day the yellow came along.

That's right.

I remember it very well because

both Ryan and I walked onto set, me in the yellow,

Ryan in the red.

This is a film crew, they've done hundreds of films.

I'm not saying they're jaded, but they've seen it all.

And there was a hush on set

and there was a really cool moment.

And that's when you saw the like fanning out.

I think what Logan and Wolverine

and what you've done over 24 years

means to some of those people.

Then one of the crew members,

I remember, when he saw Hugh in the yellow suit said,

this is the best day of my life.

And he wasn't being ironic.

I mean, he was probably not saying that around his wife,

but there were a lot of that.

Yeah.

A lot of like, this is the most incredible,

it's just iconography.

But wow.

That was Ryan's idea.

His first idea when I said I wanna do it, he goes,

we've gotta put you in the yellow.

And I was like, we can try,

but I don't know if we're gonna make it work.

And now I can't see it any other way.

But how crazy would it be if I was in this red body condom

for the whole movie and you're?

Some tank top?

Yeah, you're wearing your civies.

What's a phrase I say all the time?

Extra points for an accurate impression.

Oh.

I have them that I say to my kids.

You're not one of my kids.

[Hugh laughing]

One thing I say to my kids a lot,

and you'll remember this,

is that you can't really be any good at anything

unless you're willing to suck at it.

Let's just go with that.

What would I say is my biggest achievement so far?

On very rare occasion, like I'm talking blood moon rare,

that you will prioritize your own wellbeing over others.

Seeing you at this point in your life,

watching you on set, watching you inhabit relationships

with me and Shawn and friends and this role,

seeing you take that stage in that moment is amazing.

'Cause the guy I've known for 17 years

terminally puts everyone else first.

And so to see you once in a while say,

what's gonna put a smile on my face?

That I would say is. Thank you, man.

Yeah, does that get me a point though?

That's all I care about.

10.

Okay, wow, great.

10 points.

Slaughtered.

What was the first comic book movie I was in?

Blade. Blade.

Yeah Blade Trinity, Blade 3.

What is my favorite line that I've ever performed?

Favorite line as Wolverine?

It's not go fuck yourself.

There was one line where I said, I'm Canadian.

The country needs you.

I'm Canadian.

I like that one.

Oh, that's a good. Good one.

That's a. That was a good one.

I'm sucking up to you.

Also Canadian superheroes.

When does this kind of happen?

Yeah. Amazing.

What was my big break?

Two Guys and a Pizza Girl.

Yes.

I always get that wrong.

Fine. Something.

What is the strangest stunt I've had to do?

One of the worst ones I've ever seen you do,

like painful is the deadman.

Yes.

It's called the deadman for a reason.

Yes, yeah.

That's pretty. Yeah.

What was my favorite scene to shoot

in Deadpool & Wolverine?

Can't say because I'm gonna give it away.

I could say that it's a scene

in which I'm mostly listening.

In the van.

Yeah, when I have a monologue

that you wrote beautifully for me.

Thank you. Yeah, but that's it.

What was my Guinness World Record for?

What was your Guinness World Record for?

Is it a puzzle? No.

No, it's not a puzzle, God.

It's to do with.

Taking human life.

No, playing 10, playing a character,

this character 10 times.

That's right, longest career

as a live-action Marvel character.

He would be reclaiming it with his movie.

Meaning myself.

That's a lot of residuals.

I don't know what you guys at home are thinking,

but I'm thinking he makes it rain with checks.

What is something that you learned from me?

What I learned about you on this one?

I'm gonna really say as a producer

and as a writer, that you are more generous

with everyone else on set.

You will actually sacrifice something that's good

for Deadpool if it's good for the movie.

Oh.

And I would say generous at heart.

And you can't take a point away from me being earnest.

I don't, yeah, what am I supposed to do?

Wrong.

I only taste suffering.

No, thank you for that.

That was very, I don't know.

See what happens to me?

I lose all my words when you say something nice.

If I had to recast Wolverine in Deadpool,

who would I choose?

Let's not give anyone ideas.

Yeah, right.

Come on, guys, we really love our jobs.

Please no. Stop it.

Someone will say, awesome.

Yeah.

And it's so much cheaper.
