Ryan Reynolds has hilarious reaction after Hugh Jackman joked he’s 'bad' at sex

Insults about your antics between the sheets will understandably hit harder than others. I mean, who wants to be told they're bad in bed?

For actor Ryan Reynolds, however, criticism about his sexual escapades is like water off a duck's back - especially when it's given to him by castmate Hugh Jackman, who this week had some pretty harsh words about the Deadpool star.

For those unfamiliar with the Hollywood duo's friendship, 47-year-old Reynolds and 55-year-old Jackman have spent the better half of the last two years together, having been filming and promoting the eagerly awaited Deadpool & Wolverine collaboration since 2022.

And with the adult action-drama blockbuster set to land in cinemas in just a matter of days, the big-name pair have been travelling the globe side-by-side to promote it.

It is during this press tour that Australian actor Jackman - best known for his portrayal of X-Men legend Wolverine over the past two decades - made a rather uncalled for remark about Reynolds' moves in the bedroom.

While Reynolds has a plethora of skills under his belt - aside from acting and famously co-owning the Wrexham AFC football team - he admitted there are a couple of areas that he lacks expertise in.

"I'll tell you what I'm not good at: parenting," the Deadpool actor began by joking.

It was then that co-star Jackman jokingly made another suggestion, comedically adding: "Sex."

Bursting into laughter (thankfully!), father-of-four Reynolds teased back: "Sex. Terrible. But somehow [I] have four children."

Father-of-two Jackman then went on to joke about making sure that the kids he shares with wife Blake Lively are definitely his, after which Reynolds joked back: "They speak with a very, very intense Danish accent, and I don't know where that comes from."

It comes just days after Reynolds controversially admitted he allowed his eldest child, nine-year-old daughter James, to watch his upcoming blockbuster, which is actually R rated (it's a 15 in the UK).

"Well, I’m not saying that other people should do this, but my 9-year-old watched the movie with me and my mom, who’s in her late 70s, and it was just was one of the best moments of this whole experience for me," he told the publication.

"Both of them were laughing their guts out, were feeling the emotion where I most desperately hoped people would be."

Reflecting on his own experience as a youngster, he continued: "When I saw rated-R movies when I was a kid, they left a huge impression on me because I didn’t feel like people were pulling punches, and it’s been a huge inspiration to so many of the things that I look to make now."
