Hugh Jackman is siding with Martha Stewart.
The actor, 56, weighed in on the playful beef between his longtime friend Ryan Reynolds and the lifestyle guru, 83, after she appeared as a special guest on Bilt Rewards’ November Rent Free game show and said that Reynolds, 48, is “not so funny in real life.”
Reynolds later responded with a comment on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “I’d disagree with her. But I tried that once. The woman is unexpectedly spry. She really closed the gap after a mile or so.”
Shortly after, Jackman, who recently costarred with Reynolds in Deadpool & Wolverine, offered his thoughts on the situation, responding to Reynolds’ comment and agreeing with Stewart, writing, “Finally someone says it.”

Reynolds and Jackman have engaged in a playful feud for many years.
Jackman told The Daily Beast in a 2020 interview that he believes Scarlett Johansson started the banter, given that she was married to Reynolds from 2008 to 2011. (The star is now married to Blake Lively.)

“I used to ream him because I was very close friends with Scarlett, and Scarlett had just married Ryan, so when he came on set I was like, ‘Hey, you better be on your best behavior here, pal, because I’m watching,’ and we started ribbing each other that way,” Jackman said.
“And then it all escalated with the Deadpool thing and him calling me out, and trying to manipulate me through social media to do what he wanted,” he added.
