Ryan Reynolds leaves Hugh Jackman the same joke voicemail message every three days.
The actor, 48, has had a long-running bromance with his fellow star, 56, which intensified after their starred alongside each other in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’.
Hugh has now revealed Ryan references a joke from the movie in a regular voicemail to insist he will play Wolverine alongside him as Deadpool until he hits 90.
The actor told The Wrap after being asked if he would reprise his role as the mutant superhero: “I speak for me, which is, at some point, I’d love to do it again.
“Ryan does leave me a voicemail every third day or so that just says, ‘Until you’re 90’.”
Hugh first played Wolverine in 2000’s ‘X-Men’ and appeared as the character in nine more films including ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’.
His signing to the movie was a surprise announcement for fans due to the 2017’s ‘Logan’ featuring Wolverine’s death.
Hugh added to The Wrap: “The moment I saw ‘Deadpool’, one week after announcing Logan would be my last, I was like, ‘Hmmm’.
“I could see it, I could feel it and also I knew that that was an entire avenue/suburb/city that I’ve never lived in, in this character.
“I felt it was the right time.”
He added returning to his Wolverine role alongside Ryan “followed a question in my head of, if you could do anything, what would it be? And that’s what came to me”.
‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ director Shawn Levy, 56, said about Hugh’s performance in the hit movie: “Hugh turned in one of the great performances that I’ve ever seen take shape in front of me on a set.
“He found new dimensions and parts of Logan. It was a joy for Ryan and I to write for that but really terrifying. We knew we had something that people might not expect.”
‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ earned $1.34 billion at the worldwide box office, making it the highest grossing R-rated movie in history.
