What was it like to give your suit to Justin Timberlake?

Because, I mean, come on, that wasn't you.

Wow. But it was Justin?

Hey, these hips don't lime ourself, right?

Can you prove that?

Um, no, that was a...

I wish I could dance like that.

Oh, boy.

You know, usually it's the other way around.

See, like, the reason I do stunts in the movie is because the stunt guys are often way too macho.

So I'm like, you know, they'll land and they'll look badass, and I'll be like, you can't just, like, walk away like John Wayne.

You need to sashay away.

Do something nice, you know?

So oftentimes I find myself in the mix for that reason.

But, yeah, no, when it comes to dancing, that's just not my...

There was a guy named Nick Pauly who's amazing, and he jumped in and gave us the exact kind of in-sync, you know, vibe we were looking for.

Hugh, let's talk about the physicality of Wolverine, because in the past couple of, you know, years, you basically said, to play Wolverine, you need to get into the best shape ever.

And we saw you training.

What was it like this time?

Because you actually didn't want to...

You didn't actually want to play Wolverine, and then there was this infamous drive, I think, after you talked to your agent for a couple...

Sorry?

No, yeah.

Yeah?

Sorry.

Yeah, no-one's going to believe a word I say.

I did mean what I said when I said,

I think I'm done playing Wolverine.

And, no, that wasn't true.

It was August 14th, 2022, and I was on my way out.

I was driving, and I just, like that, knew I wanted to do it again.

And I pulled over, called Ryan, because I knew that Sean and he were going to shoot another movie, but I didn't know where they were at, and I said, I want to do it.

I know we've been flirting about this for a while, but I want it not in a Tinder way, but just flirting metaphorically.

And so there was a long pause, which I thought was an awkward way for him to say,

I don't know how to say no to you, but there was a long pause, and he said, you're not going to believe this, but we have a meeting with Feige in, like, a number of hours.

And so we rang, and it was actually after I hung up,

I thought, I think I should call my agent to say that I've just said I'm going to do a movie playing Wolverine again, and I've never been happier playing him.

I've never had more fun.

I just knew in my gut, Stephen, that I wanted to do this with Ryan as Deadpool.

I knew that when I saw Deadpool 1.

I just announced that I was done, and I was watching the movie going, ah, I think I blew it, because I could see it.

I could see how these two characters would work, and I knew Sean was attached, so it was, yeah, I just jumped in fully.

And was it harder?

Hell yeah, it was harder.

It was so much harder physically, but it was worth it.

Yeah!

Do you want to build a snowman?

Yes!

But I can't.

I can't build a snowman.
