Ryan Reynolds has been having a bit of a tiff with his neighbours lately, so naturally Hugh Jackman showed up to prod at his Deadpool and Wolverine co-star.
Plenty of famous folks live quite close to one another and Reynolds isn't too far from where Martha Stewart lives, which might have counted against him when she appeared on the Rent Free gameshow.
The 83-year-old was asked which celebrities the public thought would be most fun to hang out with, correctly guessing that Snoop Dogg was one of the options but expressing surprise that Reynolds made the cut.

She said: "He’s probably on the list just ’cause he covers himself up in his movies and you don’t see his face.
"And you want to know something? He’s not so funny in real life. No, he’s not so funny. He’s very serious."
To round out her list of people she'd want to hang out with she said she'd 'take Ryan off [the list], and I would put in somebody else'.

Of course, Reynolds was going to say something back and he took to social media to do it, writing: "I’d disagree with her. But I tried that once. The woman is unexpectedly spry. She really closed the gap after a mile or so."
That might have been the end of it after they both had something to say to each other, but then Hugh Jackman jumped into the situation to stick the claws into his co-star as he tweeted: "Finally someone says it."
This is probably all in good fun as the two actors get along well and have taken the p**s out of each other plenty enough in the past.
They spent much of the press tour for Deadpool and Wolverine poking fun at each other, and Reynolds had spent his previous movies in the series making jokes about Jackman.

The recent movie even contained a reference to the Australian actor's divorce, as Deadpool said that Logan was 'usually shirtless but he’s let himself go since the divorce' in reference to him wearing his yellow costume from the comics.
If there's anyone who can deliver a verdict on whether Ryan Reynolds is funny or not then it's probably Jackman, as they became quite the double act when promoting their movie together.
They appeared on the likes of Hot Ones, Chicken Shop Date and of course our own wonderful Agree to Disagree show, where Reynolds got plenty of laughs out of Jackman.

Unless, of course, he was acting.
