Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have continued their long-standing “feud” this festive season as the Wolverine star put up a cardboard cutout of his friend.
The 54-year-old actor stood in front of the Christmas tree at his chic Chelsea penthouse on Saturday and trolled the Hollywood star.
In a video posted to Instagram, Jackman was seen gesturing at Reynolds’ face and pretending that the 46-year-old Deadpool star had broken into his home.

‘How did he get in here? What the hell?! This is my home,” Jackman said, pointing at the cleavage of Reynolds, who was wearing a Santa suit.
In a moment of well-timed humor, police sirens could be heard on the street below as a camera filter flashed Santa hats over their heads and zoomed in on the image of Reynolds behind the Christmas tree.
The award-winning actor shared the video on his Instagram page and wrote in the caption: “The lost video, found. See also Spirited.’

The last was a nod to Reynolds’ new Christmas movie, in which he stars alongside comedian Will Ferrell.
It is a modern retelling of Charles Dickens’ 1843 novella A Christmas Carol and a satire of the various adaptations since.
Reynolds and Jackman have a long history of beating up and playing pranks on each other — but they’re actually close friends.

Their hilarious rivalry began around the time Reynolds starred in the 2016 Marvel film Deadpool.
Jackman said he struggles to remember the details but it started with Reynolds’ ex-wife Scarlett Johansson, to whom he was married from 2008 to 2011.
‘It’s been so long now… God, that’s a classic sign that your feud has gone on for too long where you don’t even know why or how it started!’ he told Daily Beast.

“I met him back on Wolverine and I always teased him because I was very close friends with Scarlett.
“Scarlett had just married Ryan, so when he came on set I was like, ‘Hey, you better be on your best behavior here, mate, because I’m watching,’ and we started teasing each other.”

He claimed Reynolds had “manipulated” him via social media for the past few years, with the two men regularly poking fun at each other on Instagram.
In 2021, Jackman announced that he has no plans to stop trolling fellow actor.
He said pranking Ryan is one of his great joys in life – and the Wolverine star thinks he’s pretty good at it.
“There’s no doubt that it’s a lot of fun because let’s face it, it’s one of the big ones – it should be an Olympic sport – trolling Ryan Reynolds,” said Jackman.
“I’m pretty sure I’ll be out there for the gold, but I think everyone would enjoy the sport. I think every kid should do it.’
