Thank you.

Thank you.

Hugh Jackman!

Thank you.

We love that.

Let's just finish it there.

Let's finish it there.

Let's just finish it there and go to commercial, right?

Yeah, absolutely.

Let's get that on a loop and on my alarm clock in the morning.

How great does that feel?

To be so long since I've been here with you, man.

I love you so much.

I really miss you.

We've done a lot of things together.

And the last time I think you were here, we did an April Fool's prank, and Jimmy Kimmel was hosting the show, and I was in L.A. hosting his show.

So the last time you were actually here was with a different Jimmy.

That's true.

I look like I'm enjoying it.

I didn't enjoy any of it.

Thank you.

Yeah, you were phoning in.

Yeah, I know.

You're a great actor.

I know.

I could tell by that.

I could smell you, and it was all wrong.

You were missing, yeah.

Before that, I think it was COVID times, and you did us a solid by doing a Zoom.

We both made bread together.

Yeah, we did.

Yeah, we did.

I don't have bread together.

I have kitchens.

But I miss you.

I didn't get Wolverine claws.

You got the three claws.

Nice.

Not only are you here, but your back is Wolverine.

Come on, bud.

That's okay.

I mean, yeah.

Oh, come on.

It's been...

And I had more fun playing him this time than ever before.

I had a blast.

But this is almost a decade since.

And you did Logan, which was fantastic.

And then you said, that's it.

We've done all.

Yep.

And that was it.

What?

Yeah, I meant it.

I really meant it.

You did.

I really did.

Yeah.

I believe my lie.

I really did.

Yeah, no.

Yeah, you did.

It's kind of like someone going, I am never drinking again.

No, I just...

I honestly, I just thought we'd done everything.

And I swear to God, we hadn't done Logan yet.

But I'd announced, I said, Logan's going to be my last.

I knew what the script.

I was excited about it.

I thought, this is going to be perfect.

And three days after that announcement, I saw Deadpool 1.

And I remember watching and going, oops.

I could see it.

I could see the two characters.

Fans have loved it and wanted it for years.

But I could see Midnight Run, 48 Hours, Odd Couple.

Planes, Trains, just those two characters like mismatched.

I could see it.

So it took me a little while to get over myself.

But it was, I remember the day.

It was August 14th, 2022, driving down the LIA in New York.

And I went, whoa, yeah.

That's a first.

That's it.

Really?

Love me some Friday afternoon traffic on the LIA.

Oh, it can be the LIA.

So I'm driving down there and I was like, oh, what do you want to do?

It was in my head.

Kids had their headphones.

And I was like, what do you want to do, in love?

What do you want to do?

I went, I want to do Deadpool Wolverine.

Sorry, it was Wolverine Deadpool when I was thinking about it.

But I just thought I really want to do it.

And I pulled over and I rang Ryan.

And I said, dude, I don't know where you're at.

I know you're shooting.

I think you're getting ready to shoot, but please tell me we can do this movie.

And he said, are you okay?

You're ringing me?

No one rings on the phone anymore.

They text, what's up?

Everyone texts.

No one calls each other.

And thankfully, Feige and everyone at Marvel and Disney said yes to it.

And you weren't in that first script of the Deadpool that they were working on?

No, no, they had all these other things.

I don't even want to think about it.

Yeah.

They had all these other things.

Not only it's you as Wolverine, but it's you in the yellow suit.

I mean, come on.

I mean, this is what the fans want.

Let's go.

This is it.

There's no one else.

There's no one else that could do this.

I gotta tell you.

That's fun, right?

That's a good crouch I got going there.

It is a good crouch, yeah.

I gotta tell you, for 24 years, people have been talking about it.

It's one of the first things Ryan said to me.

I said, I want to do it.

And he goes, we're going to do the yellow and blue.

And I was like, all right, I'm in.

In my head, I was like, I don't know if it's going to work.

I just don't know.

And as soon as I put it on, he had his Deadpool suit on.

I had mine.

We walked onto set. 100 crew members have done 100 movies, seen everything.

You could hear a pin drop.

It was just a hush.

And it was one guy there, Billy Lawless, who's Ryan's dresser.

He started to cry.

His kid's name is Logan, just so you know.

And he goes, this is the best day of my life.

But it's, yeah.

That's the love.

That's the love you need in this business.

It's the best.

It looks so good.

It feels so good, except when you're urinating.

It does not feel good.

It must be hard to get out of that.

It's like a labyrinth getting there.

It sits down.

Yeah, it's very hard.

Yeah.

But also, when you've been on the show, we've talked about your training.

I remember one time you came on was your, remember it was your break?

It was the first time you were out.

I tried.

We did a lot of spaghetti.

We did pasta.

The big thing is spaghetti, yeah.

Because you eat like steamed rocks or something.

What do you have?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sometimes I fry the rocks.

Fry rocks, yeah.

Whatever.

But you eat like steamed veggies and steamed.

You eat a lot.

It's 6,000 calories.

And it's not the calories you necessarily want.

No, it's not pizza and pasta.

You can get 6,000 calories.

Like half a pizza's 6,000 calories.

But no, this is chicken and it's tilapia and beans.

Tilapia and beans.

I don't know why tilapia.

It must be some fish that is lean and green beans.

Yeah.

And that's what you did.

And you did it for a long time.

It's worth it.

Worth it.

Yes, it's worth it.

Well, I haven't told anyone this, but we had the strike in the middle of it.

And at the beginning of shooting, there's one particular, I don't want to give away, but there's one particular scene where I really wanted to focus on how I looked.

And Sean said, where do you want to do that scene?

And I said, let's just put it to the end.

Let's put it to the end.

And then the strike came and I was like, oh, why did I say that?

Now I have to keep this diet.

Tilapia and beans.

Yeah.

Tilapia and beans for another couple of months until we figured that out.

Yeah.

Cause I mean, you're just jacked.

I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's.

Yeah.

And it's.

Yeah.

Don't, don't talk to me like you don't do the whole 6,000 calories, the whole, come on.

I did the opposite.

Yeah.

I just eat pizza all day.

Yeah.

But I, I, I.

I went to the premiere the other night.

You were great.

You were great.

Thanks, man.

There's talk of possible cameos in the Deadpool Wolverine.

I don't, I'm not going to ask you who's in the movie.

But can you tell us someone who's not in the movie?

Maybe that, maybe that's some news here.

That's pretty good.

Maybe that might be some news.

A lot of people here not admit it.

Jimmy, you're not in the movie.

I'm not in it.

I know you shot, but you got cut out.

I'm sorry.

All right.

That's all right.

I don't care.

They'll make more people go see it.

There was a genuine rumor that was going around for a long time and I can guarantee he is not in the movie.

That is King Charles.

No, he's not.

Yes.

I did hear that.

I heard that like, but I heard he really kind of sort of thought it would be good to be in it.

No!

I don't know.

It's so funny.

What do I know?

I just said I wasn't doing Wolverine again.

He can't believe a word I say, so yeah.

You crushed it again, bud.

And I miss you.

And please come back sooner than later.

You're one of my all-time favorites.

I love you, Jimmy.

I love you guys.

Thank you.

I want to show a clip.

Here's Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool and Wolverine, take a look at this.

So what made you finally wear an honest to God costume?

Mine's red so they can't see me bleed.

But I could see how yellow would be useful too.

Have you been checked for ADHD?

Mm-mm.

But I've had several STDs, which were probably caused by ADHD.

Oh, jeez.

What are you looking for?

Oh, man.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

That's rubbing alcohol.

You don't want to drink.

Oh, yep.

There you go.

Get that liver.

Good.

Okay.

What the?

Oh, back in civilian life, I wear a toupee, but nobody knows.

Everybody knows.

That's right.

Hugh Jackman, everybody.

Deadpool and Wolverine hits theaters and IMAX this Friday.

Hugh and I are doing something fun after the break.

Stick around, everybody.
