  • Hello there!

  • So, after watching Deadpool and Wolverine, many people wanted to find out who is the dancer in the opening scene of the movie, who pulled off those killer moves to the end scene hit.

  • Yes, Ryan Reynolds didn't actually dance.

  • I wish I could dance like that, oh boy.

  • Ok, this is Nick Pauly, a professional dancer in Ryan Reynolds' dance double.

  • Nick Pauly was his name and he did a lot of that choreography and very much, a big chunk, credit to him, of the dancing.

  • He plays Dancepool in the Bye Bye Bye scene to the end scene hit song.

  • Here he shows those moves from that choreography.

  • Well, such an incredible and life-changing opportunity for that guy.

  • He said that this secret has been so hard to keep.

  • He definitely nailed that dance, the choreography, but also managed to capture Deadpool's energy, making an incredibly iconic and memorable moment.

  • I can't believe it, to be honest, it feels like a dream.

  • And this is the Dancepool audition process.

  • Nick Pauly shared on his Instagram the story how he was involved in Deadpool and Wolverine.

  • It was in February 2024, when he got a call from his agent to tell him he needed to learn the Bye Bye Bye dance immediately.

  • And Nick started learning and practicing the dance.

  • He was under pressure to get it done quickly, so it didn't go well at first.

  • A few moments later, he finally got it right and sent the clip to the Deadpool and Wolverine team.

  • That's the story, and I agree with him.

  • It's crazy what can happen in 30 minutes.

  • By the way, the original choreography for the song was created by the legend Darren DeHansen.

  • There would be no Dancepool without him, for sure.

  • You know, I own the rights to Bye Bye Bye.

  • So Nick Pauly is the man behind Deadpool's mask in Deadpool and Wolverine dance sequence.

  • Whoever had the idea to add this song to Deadpool and Wolverine is a genius.

  • The fighting part is much easier than the dancing part.

  • And one more thing.

  • NSYNC has renamed the original music video for Bye Bye Bye to the official video from Deadpool and Wolverine.

  • That's all.

  • Thanks for watching.

  • Please like, subscribe, watch more videos, and see you next time.

  • Take care.
