But after watching a full interview of just the two of them gushing about their friendship, viewers could barely handle all the adorableness.

Reynolds and Jackman's friendship started back in 2008 when Reynolds was hired to portray Wade Wilson (ya know, Deadpool) in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

During the interview, Reynolds revealed that Jackman welcomed him with open arms, and the rest was history.

Swoon.

Later in the interview, the two spoke in detail about the "secret sauce" behind their lasting friendship.

Reynolds claimed it's not too different from having a partner or even from marriage, noting:

"Since the day I met Hugh Jackman... I am genuinely rooting for you every time all the time."
"I want you to win and I know you to be a person that often puts others in front of yourself, and it's not a show."
"I see you do it in quiet, I see you do it out loud, I see you do it in every instance, and I think of you a little bit as this guy that kind of like will grab the ticking time bomb and fly into the atmosphere into space and let it explode, and, you know, save all the people on the ground."

He continued:

"I so admire those qualities in you and love that in you."
"And since the day we met in Sydney, I root for you, and I just want to see you live the most full-throated life that you can possibly live."

He added that it's the same way he feels about his wife, Blake Lively.

After thanking Reynolds for his absolutely lovely take, Jackman said he agreed, explaining friendship, to him, is having someone he can say absolutely anything to: "the stuff you're ashamed, embarrassed, anything."

"So you can tell me anything and I can tell you anything, and I don't feel like you're going to be judging or necessarily giving me the answer: ‘Do this.’ And I think that has been the key.”

Jackman added:

“And ever since I've known you, and I would say in particular in like the last five, 10 years, we've had more time where we go for our walks because you're an unbelievable listener."

He continued:

"I guess I hadn't put it together."
"Deep down, I know you're rooting for me, and you know I'm rooting for you."
"So you can tell me anything, and I can tell you anything. And I don't feel like you're going to be judging it or necessarily giving me the answer."

Reynolds chimed in:

"Yeah, we rely on each other for the real kind of advice that you want, you know?"

Viewers of the interview loved seeing the real conversation between the two, many adding that this type of connection and interaction needs to be normalized between males.

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has often bragged about his overwhelming victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming he won by a landslide. But while he did manage to finally win a popular vote in 2024, something he lost in 2016 and 2020, it was hardly a landslide.

About 90 million eligible, registered voters didn't bother to vote at all in 2024, while Trump garnered only ~77 million votes, VP Harris received about ~75 million—a difference of only ~2 million which is less than the population of Trump's hometown of Queens, New York City.

California Governor Gavin Newsom called out the hypocrisy of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after sharing a clip from last year showing she'd once criticized the Biden administration for considering deploying the National Guard when Democrats suggested it as a response to Texas' immigration crackdown at the time.

That's noteworthy because Noem has made an about-face, defending President Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests in response to his administration's immigration raids by claiming he'd taken this drastic step "for the safety of this community ... to keep peace."
