Hugh Jackman & Ryan Reynolds Talk Deadpool and Wolverine

You can whatever you want to do. You can stand, you can sit. I'm going to be the first people in history to sit while Shoop is playing. Yeah. I know. It's a hard song to sit down to. I know. It's a good song. It's in your movie, and it's also one of my favorite songs. It is one of my favorite songs, which is why it's in the movie. Did you choose that song? We did, because we couldn't afford the other song we wanted. And as life so often works out, this one was 10 times better. What was the one that you wanted? I can throw someone under the bus. You're going to make me do that. I'm not going to say Gwen Stefani. Which one? Hollaback Girl. Expensive. She's my pal. You could have asked me, and I could have asked her. I needed the hookup. See? That's why you need to call me for things like that. Now you know. But anyway, Shoop worked out just fine. It worked great. It actually worked better for the sequence, although Hollaback Girl is a beautiful song. Yes, yes. Next movie. Next one. Next one, Hollaback will be in it. Even if it's a drama, and it doesn't need to be in it. If it's a rated R My Little Pony movie, I'm putting Hollaback Girl in it. Rated R My Little Pony. Why not? We could make it work. Well, I'm sure you could, but it would be very wrong. Yes, yes. Congratulations on what a huge weekend. I think it's made like $150 million or more. Yeah, it did really well. Yeah, yeah. Why did people not want to make this movie? And now those people must feel stupid. I think they do. I mean, really, anyone who said no to that, all of a sudden they're looking at this going. Yeah, I think it's just a risky property. It was rated R. It takes place in the X-Men universe. 20th Century Fox is very protective of the X-Men. Around 20th Century Fox, they call the X-Men cha-ching. So they didn't want to mess with their cha-ching. But Deadpool worked. It really filled a void in the marketplace, I think. I mean, I literally threw my shoulder out congratulating myself yesterday morning. So, but it's fine. Yeah, I know this one. Yeah, no, we're psyched. It's fantastic. And I'm sure this is one of many. I'm sure now there's going to be sequels. OK, so tell everyone, we're talking about it. Tell everyone what it is about. Deadpool is about a mercenary who has terminal cancer. He goes into this program that experiments on him and tortures him. And it comes out the other side with his cancer somewhat under control. But he's left hideously scarred. So from head to toe, he's just covered in scars. So he puts a mask and a suit on. But he also comes out the other side sort of slightly nuts and meta, like he knows he's in a movie all of a sudden. He makes Ryan Reynolds jokes in the movie. He makes fun of me. He says nothing's off limits. So it's a really meta kind of interesting character to plop into the X-Men universe. So there's a fight scene in it that is, so you're naked. I mean, first, it's like, it's rated R. So you know there's going to be, so you're wearing this robe. And then all of a sudden, the robe catches fire. So the robe is off. And you do this incredible fight scene. And you're naked, naked. There's nothing, not a sock, nothing. There's not a, right? I mean. Yeah, you have a little talk with the crew at the beginning of the day. You just say, you guys, you're going to see things that you shouldn't see. And you just kind of go for it. I kind of got an idea what it's like to maybe work in the adult film industry. You're just sort of like, by lunchtime, you're just like, oh, Greek salad's good, isn't it? And you're just totally nude, standing there at the line. Yeah, you just lose that sort of filter for a minute there. I'm not above taking my clothes off for money. That's what we've learned here. How much? Because I have some cash on me. Yeah, I think that broke me, though. I think, I mean, this morning I showered in a three-piece suit. Nudity is just, it's over now. OK, but wait, so you're naked and you're, first of all, the fight scene is incredible. And it's choreographed in a way that it was intense. It's very intense, yeah. And a lot of people get hurt in fight scenes because, just accidentally, someone really hits you. Yeah. And you are, as we say, You just, yeah, whoa, you don't want to get hit there. Yeah, and he's, no, I would imagine not. So were you hurt, and how many days did it take to shoot that while you were naked? Well, I already had a child before I shot this. OK, so it didn't matter. So that was covered. But yeah, we shot this in two days, and the entire set was on fire. And we could have shot it in one day, except I had eight hours of prosthetic makeup. So I get into the set around 1 in the morning, and I start this long process of doing head-to-toe makeup, and then we shoot a 15-hour day. And we kept getting shut down because the fire marshal was worried that the ceiling was going to combust, because it was so hot in there. So it's not a really comfortable process as I fight this guy wielding this fire extinguisher. That's incredible. And you've been up since 1 AM getting makeup on, and you can't really sleep, because you sort of have to keep your eyes open. Oh, no, you can't do anything. You stick to everything. So if I fell asleep on the couch, I would get up, and the couch would come with me. Wow. It would be horrible. Which would be in maybe in another movie. Kind of amazing, yeah, right? But in the back of you is the couch. That's not a sweater, that's a sofa. Yeah. That was it. 21 years later. And two kids. 21 years and two kids later. 15? 15 and a 10-year-old, I can't believe it. And what are they into? My son is, you know what I love about my son? He saw that movie, A Walk in the Woods, that movie with Robert Redford. And he goes, I love that guy. That's me. He loves the outdoors. He loves reading. He's not into video games, none of that. He's into medicinal herbs. I mean, he's going to do something extraordinary. My daughter, she is, by the way, and I'm not joking, she's into the Ellen show and Sophia Grace. She watches those clips over and over again. She loves dancing. Let's talk about her more. She looks. She seems great. She's great. She really, she said she wants, I said, what do you want to do when you grow up? She says, well, I'd like to be an actor and a singer and a chef and a vet. I was like, I love it. I said, yeah, but if you could focus on the chef, because we really need one of those in the family. And a vet, that would be a lovely thing too. Yeah, we've got two dogs. So is your son, like, he must be impressed. His dad is Wolverine. That must be, like, really cool to walk around saying. No. No, come on. Yes and no. Like, there was one time a few years back, we were at the beach. And he was talking with this girl, and he was about 12. And the girl looked to me like 15. Likes older women like his dad. And so anyway, he starts walking over to me. And he sort of ran ahead of this girl. And the girl's walking. And he's sort of running up to me. And I said, I said, everything all right? And he goes, yeah, I told him you're Wolverine. Just sign an autograph for him. Sign an autograph. I was like, am I a wingman for my son now? This is really weird. But then he had a friend over, another friend over the other day, a new friend. And I was listening in. And the friend was obviously enamored by Wolverine, asking all these questions. And I heard him say, he said nothing. And finally, he piped up and he said, look, my dad is not tough. He's not cool. He's nothing like Wolverine, OK? So just get over it. That was it. Haven't seen that kid since, actually. But you are tough, and you are cool. And you stay in great shape. And you have to. I mean, it's like, because of these movies, you have to continue to work out. Do you enjoy it? I need that. At 4.30, when my alarm clock goes off, I want that on tape. Woo! Because I complain. Do I enjoy it, did you say? Do I enjoy it? You have to enjoy it. I love the feeling afterwards. But it's painful. It's basically meant to be painful, unfortunately. Well, to push it that hard, you have to. But you joined, what is it called, the Thousand Club? What is the Thousand Club? I love the way you pretend you don't know. Because I know you're a big advocate of the Thousand Pound Club, and training, and squatting, and deadlift. So the Thousand Pound Club is, you have to do one rep of a squat, of a deadlift, and of a bench press. I'd do it with you, but last time, you humiliated me in a competition. Yeah, but I'm not going to do that again. No. I've learned I don't want to do that again. Yeah, when I lifted that, that was amazing. All right, so. It was good. So anyway, you have to do that in one day. So you have like a two hour period. It's only one lift, and you have to be, the accumulation has to be 1,000 pounds. 1,000 pounds. Wow, that's amazing. So not a lot of people do it, obviously. No one in the history of the planet has ever done that. You're the only one.
