People asked Hugh Jackman if he would come out of retirement to play Wolverine again in a crossover with Ryan Reynolds. The X-Man said, “I just said, ‘You know, I just don’t think the world really wants to see Deadpool with Wolverine.’ Maybe a cameo from Deadpool? I just think it runs over it for Deadpool.”
Well, when the wise-cracking hero heard this he said, “I see @RealHughJackman is no longer allergic to selfish.” I am siding with the ugliest superhero on this one.
I want a Deadpool/Wolverine standalone movie. Who is with me? Marvel make this happen.
Before Hugh Jackman was P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman, he was just one of the clowns at the circus. Well, not a circus, but at children’s parties. When Howard Stern heard that, he wanted to know if the actor was any good at it.
Jackman was honest and said he was good at until the kids hit three years old. After that he was awful. In fact, he did a party for eight years olds and he was left with egg on his face. Literally, because the tykes threw eggs at him. Not only that, but they also kicked him when he was down. Again literally. Did he mind? Nope because the little ones were having fun.
When he was done with that party, he was done being a clown. He admits, he is a crappy one.
Hey Hollywood, are you listening? You need to make a movie about a down on his luck clown who works the party circuit. Think Bad Santa but with a clown.
Next week, we will get to see Hugh Jackman as disgraced presidential candidate Gary Hart in The Front Runner. There has been some Oscar buzz surrounding him, and Ryan Reynolds is not going to have that.
Therefore Deadpool is trying to kill Wolverine’s chances of getting a major award before him. Thus, he came up with a negative commercial slandering his arch rival. Will it work? We will find out shortly as awards season takes over our lives again.
But in the meantime, watch the ad over and over again, and then go see The Front Runner after you vote on Tuesday!
Tomorrow is Hugh Jackman’s 50th birthday. That is right, the Greatest Showman is turning the big 5-0. He does not feel it, but he said, “When people tell you ‘you don’t look 50’ part of you believes it … until you see yourself sleeping.”
Do you think he looks like he is 49 years and 364 days old? I think he does, but it is because he is lying down and we all look older that way.
