“Hugh has never felt physical pain, so for him, as a pampered star, this is an essential, essential passing ceremony,” Reynolds joked, before sharing the completely crazy original idea for the ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ movie.
Dead Pool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) took on the wings of death in the newest episode of The scorchers — And unfortunately, the two couldn’t use their superpowers to help them overcome the pain. So, they turned to the next smarter thing: humor and the skill of friendship.
On Thursday’s episode of YouTube’s Favorite Collection, hosted by Sean EvansThe actors answered questions about their lives, careers and more while trying to eat increasingly spicy chicken wings.
And it was as chaotic as you would expect!
Check out the main highlights and hilarious moments from the epic interview below.
Single Thought About ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Movie Was Crazy
After all, the duo was selling the next film, Deadpool and Wolverine, through which the titular Marvel characters are played by Reynolds and Jackman, respectively.
When asked when Jackman realized Wolverine’s “potential” to be the “great straight man in a dual-role comedy,” the 55-year-old actor said: “Actually, the second I realized it, Deadpool 1. That’s when it all came flooding back to me.”
“I used to be like, ‘These two characters need to be together.’ And I had actually announced my retirement three days before,” he continued. “I was like, ‘Damn! Damn!’”
“It took us six years to get there, but we got there,” he added.
Meanwhile, like many Marvel movies, particularly one of this size, surprises, along with cameos, are kept under wraps for as long as possible. When Evans asked Reynolds and Jackman about their thoughts on “leaks,” along with when they’re a “good thing” or “dangerous to the enterprise,” Reynolds shared his shock that more leaks haven’t surfaced, before revealing the hilarious — and truly strange — unique premise for Deadpool and Wolverine.

“I’m shocked that we’ve gotten through this without some of our biggest surprises ending up — even being hypothesized — online,” Reynolds said. “Man, it’s exhausting keeping a secret.”
“I’ve never talked about this before,” he continued. “The original idea with this movie was to shoot a fake movie called Alpha Police Officerthat was deliberately dangerous. I even made one of the many posters. It was about two guys who are sharing a mind, and collectively they make the ultimate cop. And the poster says Alpha Police Officer: two cops, one mind, all balls. And it was supposed to be like, like, horrible. Like 10 people in America would go see this movie on opening weekend, and 5 minutes into the movie, the Marvel emblem would appear, and it could actually be Deadpool and Wolverine.“
“The thing is… if you make it to the last minute, and it gets blown up,” he added. “It could be heartbreaking. So, I don’t know. But we got lucky on this one.”
Jackman, however, gave an example of a dirty leak, recalling how in 2009 X-Males Origins: Wolverine was leaked online a few weeks before the film was released. He said that around 10 million people saw the leaked cut.
Ryan and Hugh’s unusual jobs before Hollywood
As usual, Evans went into the vault for some fascinating questions and never-before-heard details, including the bizarre jobs Reynolds and Jackman had before they became famous.
Reynolds recalled working as a forklift driver at a supermarket in Vancouver, revealing that he “crushed[his]ankles only a few times.” Jackman, meanwhile, shared that he was previously a clown for hire, despite having no experience.
“I actually rented a clown suit… and we had no experience, no experience really… I broke my rule and threw a party for an 8-year-old,” he recalled. “I always knew they were going to come looking for me and he found me and this kid yelled to his mom, ‘Mom, that clown is crap!’ And I was like, ‘Shut up, kid.’”
He added that since he could juggle, he picked up some eggs and cracked them over his head. “I was like, ‘Yeah, actually, what about this?’” Jackman said. “And (the kid) was like, ‘That’s funny!’ So I just kept cracking (the eggs). And then they jumped on me. And that was it. That was the last time I was Coco the Clown.”
Ryan is available in Scorching with advertising
When the two got to the fourth hot sauce, Los Calientes from Scorching Ones, Reynolds decided to make it known that it was the model’s personal hot sauce.
“This is a type of in-house product placement known as Scorching Ones, and I would say that this one of all the[hot sauces]is absolutely the most effective scorching sauce that I believe I have ever seen before. You can order yours, after all, online or at your local store.”
“I really feel like I can make love like Thor. Actually, that’s the one,” he said, to which Jackman chimed in, “Sean, I really don’t feel safe.”
Reynolds continued to praise the recent sauce throughout the interview.
Hugh can’t handle the heat
After all, wouldn’t it be The scorchers without any struggle. Both Reynolds and Jackman struggled, but the latter positively seemed to be more affected physically, with the heat causing the Australian actor to cry, shake, sweat and laugh in a controlled manner.
When they reached the sixth scalding sauce, beginning the second half of the problem, things got even worse.
“It tastes disgusting,” Jackman declared, to which Reynolds added. “It does. Do you know what I’m going to eat? A bag of rusty blades, that’s what I’m going to eat.”
Jackman looked delirious and couldn’t stop laughing. “I’m just saying sentences right now,” Reynolds said after trying to answer Evans’ question. “That f–ked me up.”
“That f–ked me up too,” Jackman agreed, as he began to cry. “Tears are coming! Tears are good. Real men cry.”
After the next wing, Jackman, who was having a laugh-out-loud argument, confirmed his sweaty armpit to the camera. “It’s on! It’s on. The pits are going.”
“Hugh has never felt physical pain, so for him as a pampered star, this is an essential, essential rite of passage,” Reynolds said. “His next role will be excellent.”

When the pair reached the eighth section — the famous sauce commonly known as Da’Bomb Past Madness — Jackman, now in tears, said he “might have reached my limit.”
“I’m in trouble,” he said, before expressing his shock that his co-star was doing so much better than him.
Reynolds and Jackman were then tasked with participating in a recreation, in which they were given paddles with a Canadian flag on one side and the Australian flag on the other, and had to choose one of their respective home countries to answer a question, such as which country makes the best movies.
They tried to play the sport while persevering in the battle against the heat. Jackman even accused Evans of giving them ice cream with “f–king chili in it.”
For the final wing, instead of adding a little extra like most friends do, Reynolds had the smart idea to add just a few dabs of Da’Bomb on top, and her castmate — who gasped in response — joined in.
Jackman danced in celebration of the fact that they had solved the problem, but his friend reminded him that there would apparently be some scary and uncomfortable side effects later on, mainly because of the Da’Bomb.
“It’s a war crime bottled up and getting worse,” Reynolds said.
It’s all love
After effectively dealing with the consequences of their defeat, Reynolds and Jackman opened up about their friendship and sweetly praised each other.
“For any individual who tends to do that, I’m inclined to over-function a little bit, right?” Reynolds said. “I think anxiety gets me to a point where I kind of over-prepare, over-function, over-reserve, all of those things. Working with someone who’s so contentious, when we’re together, outside of our public personas, making fun of each other, most of our conversations are pretty weak.”
“I’m going to reenact this whole thing with gross sock puppets for my therapist,” he joked, before asking Jackman if he could “talk about me.”
“Ryan is 47 years old. … In love, good father, good family, good family, loves his job, loves his job, and I have nothing — other than making me do it and he said if you don’t do it, I’m just going to belittle you and make fun of you and tell all of Australia that you just don’t have the heart and Canada is the best — but other than that, I have nothing,” Jackman said. “There’s nothing (bad) to say.”
