Hugh Jackman’s Heartfelt Gesture for Ryan Reynolds’ Kids

Highlighting the friendly rapport between them,Ryan Reynoldsbegan by describing a typical day at home when he returned from work to find his children engrossed in watching TV. He suddenly recognized that they were watching Hugh Jackman’spopular filmThe Greatest Showman. However, to his surprise, Reynolds had not expected to find the actor himself in their living room.
True story, one of the reasons why I love this guy [Hugh Jackman] so much is, one day I came home and I heard The Greatest Showman playing in my living room and my kids squealing, cause they love watching Greatest Showman. They don’t want daddy’s movies, but they love uncle Hugh’s movies.
Anyway, they were all singing along, and I walked around the corner and guess who’s acting out the parts with them. Hugh Jackman right there. And I didn’t even have to meet his $112 Million quote per film.
In his signature comedic style, Ryan Reynolds ended his story by noting the surreal and amusing scene of Hugh Jackman casually hanging out with his children and enacting his film for free. Thereafter, while the show host commented on Jackman’s generosity, the Aussie actor stated how Reynolds’ kids had watchedThe Greatest Showmanfor the fourth time in a row.
Hugh Jackman’s Reported Salary Quote Per Film
AlthoughHugh Jackmanhad entertained Ryan Reynolds’ kids and enactedThe Greatest Showmanwith them out of generosity, the Canadian star’s jab at his co-stars’ $112M quote per film does make us wonder about his actual salary estimation. Therefore, keeping in mind that Reynolds’ jest about Jackman’s impressive salary was a playful nod to the star’s humility and affection despite his substantial earning power – let’s take a look at Wolverine’s salary.
It Took 3 Days For Hugh Jackman to Regret His Retirement From Wolverine After Logan’s $614 Million Box Office Record
According to a compilation of Hugh Jackman’s salary shared byScreenRant, the actor who made his Hollywood debut with his breakthrough role asWolverine in Bryan Singer’sX-Men(2000), simply earned $500,000. However, quickly after propelling himself to stardom as the clawed mutant, Jackman charged $1M forX2: X-Men United,$5M forX-Men: The Last Stand,and$20M each forX-Men Origins: WolverineandWolverine.
Considering his rather brief appearance inX-Men: Days of Future Past, Hugh Jackman had sought an estimate of $7M. As for Logan, although the exact figure hasn’t been revealed, Jackman was said to have taken a pay cut for the film. Meanwhile, apart from his X-Men movies, Jackman is reported to have charged the most for his role inAustralia– $10M.
For other films likeSnow Flower and the Secret Fan,Jackman made $1.5M, forButterhe earned $2M, forLes MisérablesJackman made $5M, and forReal Steel,he earned $9M. So it’s certain that Ryan Reynolds’ comment about Jackman’s $112M quote per film was indeed a joke. Therefore, in the light of that story, the $180M worth actor (viaParade) is undoubtedly more popular for his approachable and kind-hearted nature.
Deadpool & Wolverineis slated to release on June 09, 2025.
