WATCH: Hugh Jackman pleaded with the Academy to not nominate Ryan Reynolds

Hugh Jackman made fun of Ryan Reynolds’ fellow actor after he begged for the Academy not to nominate him “Deadpool” Star for his song “Good Afternoon.”

In a clip Jackman shared the following Wednesday statement, at 54 years old, with Jackman Reynolds‘ performance in the Apple TV+ holiday movie “Spirited” was fun, but that the actor would be insufferable if he lands an Oscar for it.

“Hey everybody, it’s 2023, and I really, really wanted to send out a positive message at the beginning of the year, but recent events have made that impossible,” Jackman jokingly shared in the video.

“Don’t get me wrong, I loved ‘Spirited,’” He added. “It’s a great movie. We had a blast; the entire family watched it … and by the way, the song ‘Good Afternoon,’ I laughed the entire way through.”

“Now, Ryan Reynolds getting a nomination in the best song category would make the next year of my life insufferable,” Jackman continued. “I mean, I have to spend a year with him shooting ‘Wolverine’ and ‘Deadpool,’ and trust me, it would be impossible, it would be a problem.”

The “Greatest Showman” Star ended his video by sharing that, while he loved the cast and the song, he again begged Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. “please, please, from the bottom of my heart — do not validate Ryan Reynolds in this way, please.”

Jackman and Reynolds have been involved in a decade-long pretend feud. This is not the first time the two Hollywood stars have been at odds. Page Six noted.

Later, the “Free Guy” star responded on Twitter, saying he disagreed with Jackman’s assessment.

Disagree. I believe the deepfakes, who sang and danced in Will’s honor, would be great to perform at the Oscars. https://t.co/tjI8NwfdKc
