Hugh Jackman has a friend named Benjamin, but we will call him Ryan Reynolds. Anyways, “Benjamin” challenged Jackman to eat a War Head sour candy and recorded himself sucking on it for us to see.
I am so happy he did because it was fun to see Wolverine be taken down by a little piece of candy. Even X-Men are no match for sour-sucking candies, and I am all for it. But I am a sadist who enjoys watching people in pain!
True story. I had a job and would give out candy. There would be people who would take some and never say thank you or give me anything in return. One day I brought in a bunch of War Heads and didn’t tell them how sour they were. We would just hear their screams a few minutes later. It was so much fun, almost as fun as watching Jackman suffering.
Fellow Australians Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman are not only former co-stars, but they are also friends.
So it should come as no surprise that the actress came out to see her mate on Saturday in The Music Man on Broadway. However, what is surprising is that it cost her six digits. Not the price of a seat, which comes close to that, but on auction he held after the show for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, a charity that helps people across the country and across the street receive lifesaving medications, health care, nutritious meals, counseling, and emergency financial assistance.
Jackman auctioned off the hat he was wearing to the audience and was surprised to hear Kidman bid $100,000 for it. Her donation will be used to pay for 20,000 meals and 2,000 doctor visits this holiday season!
Today, I tip my $10 (because that is all I can afford) hat in honor of the two generous actors who have been friends for 30 years and counting.
Yesterday, Ryan Reynolds asked Hugh Jackman if he would revive Wolverine for Deadpool 3, and the X-Man said yes.
But how is that possible since Wolverine died in Logan? Today, the frenemies explained how. However, I missed their explanation because, for some reason, Wham’s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go was playing in my head. No matter how many times I replayed the video, the song would play when they were explaining how.
Damn you, George Michael and Andrew Ridgely, for your earworm of a song.
Deadpool 3 is coming out on September 6, 2024. Hopefully, the happy tune will be out of my head by then.
