“I’m not training for Deadpool,” Reynolds wrote in the caption. “I’m training to spend several months with @thehughjackman, who is not as good as everyone thinks.”
Jackman responded with a reply, reposting the photo but adding a heart-shaped sticker that read “Ur cute.”
Last month, Jackman sat down with CNN’s “Who Talks to Chris Wallace” to discuss the training regimen he’s undergoing to reprise his role as Wolverine in the upcoming “Deadpool” sequel.
“I’ve learned that you can’t rush. I’ve learned that it takes time,” Jackman said of turning up the volume, as reported by Complex.
“So we have six months from when I finish [‘The Music Man’] Until when I start filming,” he continued.
“And I’m not doing any other work. I will be with my family and train. That’s going to be my job for six months,” Jackman explained.
