Hugh Jackman – Most of us know him best as Wolverine, but Jackman’s career began on stage in various productions in Melbourne, Australia and London’s West End before landing the iconic ‘X-Men’ role. Jackman would make it to Broadway in 2003 in the starting role in ‘the Boy from Oz,’ which netted him a Tony Award win for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical.

Hugh Jackman has been living life, and singing his way through it after leaving Wolverine behind in 'Logan.' Ryan Reynolds, however, won't take no for an answer.

While promoting 'Deadpool,' 'Good Morning America' George Stephanopoulos shared a clip from Hugh Jackman from his previous visit a few weeks prior, and it was addressed to Ryan himself.

"Hey, buddy! How are you mate? Ryan, I love you man. I love Deadpool. I can't wait to see the movie. You're one of my best friends—Blake, the fam, the whole thing. But back it up a little, right? Play a little hard to get. It's too much," Jackman says in the clip. "It's not sexy. Am I right?"

Ryan laughs it off and says he's going to have to step up his game a little, and how he's been trying to get Hugh to hang up the dancing shoes and come back to Wolverine.
