“I used to poke him because I was really close friends with Scarlett, and Scarlett had just married Ryan, so when he came on set, I said, ‘Hey, you better be on your best behavior here, mate, because I watching by myself,’ and so we started joking around,” Jackman said.
“And then it escalated with Deadpool and him calling me names and trying to manipulate me through social media to do what he wanted,” he added.
