Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds may be playfully trading barbs until they're 90.
The "Greatest Showman" star, 56, weighed in on social media after Martha Stewart declared that his "Deadpool & Wolverine" co-star, Reynolds, is not funny in real life.
Reynolds previously reacted to Stewart's comments on X by joking that he was afraid to push back. "I'd disagree with her. But I tried that once," he wrote. "The woman is unexpectedly spry. She really closed the gap after a mile or so."
But in a reply to Reynolds' post, Jackman jokingly acted like he agreed with Stewart, writing, "Finally someone says it."
Stewart made her remarks in an episode of the Bilt Rewards game show "Rent Free," where she was asked to name the three celebrities that Bilt members said would be the most fun to hang out with. She guessed that Reynolds would be on the list "just because he covers himself up in his movies, and you don't see his face."

The "Deadpool" actor was, in fact, on the list at No. 2. But Stewart quickly chimed in to argue he doesn't deserve the spot. "You want to know something?" she said. "He's not so funny in real life. No, he's not so funny. He's very serious."
The other celebrities who made the list were Taylor Swift and Stewart's pal Snoop Dogg. She agreed with those choices but said she would remove Reynolds entirely and replace him with George Clooney.
"He's a good actor," Stewart said of Reynolds. "He can act funny. But he isn't funny. Maybe he can get to be funny again. I'm going to get in trouble. He's my neighbor."

Stewart has been making headlines for blunt comments made during various media appearances while promoting her latest book, including an episode of "Watch What Happens Live" where she spoke about her feud with Ina Garten. On the show, she rejected Garten's claim that their friendship ended because she moved to Connecticut, insisting that Garten stopped talking to her when she went to jail.
Why Ryan Reynolds,Hugh Jackman hope 'Deadpool & Wolverine' is a 'fastball of joy'
Stewart has also criticized a new Netflix documentary about her, "Martha," telling The New York Times that the film is "a bit lazy." "Those last scenes with me looking like a lonely old lady walking hunched over in the garden? Boy, I told (director R.J. Cutler) to get rid of those. And he refused," she told the outlet. "I hate those last scenes. Hate them."
Reynolds and Jackman, meanwhile, have spent plenty of time together this year roasting each other while promoting their Marvel film "Deadpool & Wolverine," in which they play the titular superheroes. Ahead of the record-breaking blockbuster's digital release, Jackman jokingly said on X, "At least now I can fast forward through all his yapping."
The actor previously released a video last year where he sarcastically pleaded with the Academy not to nominate Reynolds for best original song for his movie "Spirited."
"Ryan Reynolds getting a nomination in the best song category would make the next year of my life insufferable," he joked. "I mean, I have to spend a year with him shooting ('Deadpool & Wolverine'). Trust me. It would be impossible. It would be a problem."
