In a 2020 interview with The Daily Beast, Jackman said, “I always reamed him because I was very close friends with Scarlett [Johansson]and Scarlett had just married Ryan, and when he came on set I said, 'Hey, you better be on your best behavior here, buddy, because I'm watching,' and we started messing with each other like that. “
