Offscreen Bonding of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman
In a recent interview on BBC Radio 1, amidst promoting the much-awaited film Deadpool & Wolverine, Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman shared intriguing insights, revealing their warm offscreen camaraderie. Reynolds narrated a humorous incident involving Jackman and his kids, amusing the fans and demonstrating their friendly dynamics.
Jackman’s Bonus Performance at Reynolds’ Home
Ryan Reynolds recalled an entertaining incident when he came home to his kids eagerly watching The Greatest Showman, featuring Hugh Jackman. To his surprise, Jackman, the star of the film himself, was present in their living room, enthusiastically enacting scenes from the movie. Reynolds humorously noted that he didn’t have to shell out Jackman’s usual hefty film charges for this spectacle.
Reynolds quoted, “I walked around the corner and guess who’s acting out the parts with them. Hugh Jackman right there. And I didn’t even have to meet his $112 Million quote per film.” The icing on the cake was Jackman’s revealing how Reynolds’ kids had watched The Greatest Showman for the fourth consecutive time.
Decoding Hugh Jackman’s Salary Quotes
Contrary to Reynolds’ witty jab at Jackman’s impressive, albeit exaggerated, film quote, let’s consider an accurate reflection of Jackman’s pay in Hollywood.
After his breakthrough role as Wolverine in X-Men in 2000, Jackman earned merely $500,000. Clambering swiftly to fame, he charged $1M for X2: X-Men United, $5M for X-Men: The Last Stand, and a whopping $20M each for X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Wolverine. Jackman reportedly took home $7M for a brief appearance in X-Men: Days of Future Past, and his exact earnings for Logan remain undisclosed. For non-X-Men films, Jackman charged a maximum of $10M for Australia, along with lucrative deals for other films, thereby fortifying Reynolds’ jest at Jackman’s film quote.
Celebrating Jackman’s Charitable Nature
Despite these whopping sums, Jackman displayed his generous side during Reynolds’ anecdote. Agreeably, the actor carrying a net worth of $180M (via Parade) is more celebrated for his humble demeanor than his riches. This remarkable offscreen bonding of Reynolds and Jackman enhances their appeal and cements the audience’s anticipation for the forthcoming film, Deadpool & Wolverine, slated for release on July 26, 2024.
