In a sitdown with People, the dynamic duo sat down and interviewed each other to discuss the third installment in the Deadpool franchise and what it was like working together again.
Jackman’s Background in Dance Came in Handy
Reynolds kicked off the discussion by complimenting Jackman on how well he handled the film’s physical stunts.
“You hit your marks with speed and confidence, the likes of which I have never seen. It was the first time I’d ever seen how invaluable background in song and dance is when you are doing an action movie,” Reynolds said.

Jackman, who has shown off his dancing skills on film and stage, admitted that his dance training helped him with the film’s physical stunts.
“There is a mixture of relaxation mixed with the strength you need. It’s basically choreography,” he responded.

“I’m not a dancer, but I have done a lot of dance training now and dance in my job. And I love the process of it. I love getting something into your bones,” he said. “I had got to a point, I must admit, probably 10 years ago where I was like I am not enjoying it. It was hurting. It was tough. But I’ve had a break, and I’ve been doing a lot of dance. And I’ve been doing stage shows and arena shows, so when I came back to it, it was really fun and I was thrilled.”
Reynolds Was Afraid He Would Be “Decapitated”
Commenting on Jackman’s quality of works, Reynolds admitted to fearing that he would be “decapitated” by the Australian actor.

“When Hugh Jackman is coming at you at 150 Australian miles per hour, you feel like there is no way you are not going to be dead in four seconds, and I will never forget that,” Reynolds joked.
