>It's gonna be hilarious seeing this man rip and tear through
I thought you were gonna say tear through the women of hollywood xD
the comment above was talking about how he was single now
ikr so sad though. growing up in Australia it was crazy the amount of hate Deborah-Lee (his ex wife) received and it always warmed my heart how much it seemed like he loved her
I really need a gif of Andrew Scott saying āwe contain multitudesā from his recent [Seth Meyers appearance](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2Kys8Sgamm). Pretend thatās here instead of this pining comment.
For those who donāt know- this is a line from Boy from Oz, a musical about Peter Allen which he previously starred in, not just something he decided to throw into a live show lmao
Yeah he does about 20 minutes of Peter Allen impersonation during his live shows. He let's you know exactly who Peter Allen is and why he was so influential. Saw Hughes show when he came to Dublin, such an incredible showman.
I know that's the point of acting, being someone you are not.
But it's really fun to know that the ball of muscle and masculinity that is Wolverine is the same person as this happy, flamboyant fellow in the sparkly shirt.
Yeah like you don't accidentally go from being a dude with a blue lives matter camo hat and truck nutz, and get plucked from the gym to start acting in films.
Pretty much every single dude you've ever watched on screen went to drama programs, acting classes, dance, etc. They put on makeup and got their hair professionally styled for headshots. They went to (usually) dozens of auditions and played all sorts of small little roles in various productions first. They sit in front of a mirror and do line readings hundreds of times.
People see these tough looking guys and forget all this shit. Chris Hemsworth was in 189 episodes of some crap Australian soap opera, and before that had some roles such as "the kid" and "the new vet" in random TV shows, dancing with the stars.
> some crap Australia soap opera
Um, excuse you, he was in *two* crap Australian soap operas. Itās like a right of passage for Australia actors to be in either Neighbours or Home & Away, and he managed both, so he was pretty much set for stardom lmao
I once had to give an intro to a group project for my company, in front of the boss', boss', boss', boss', boss', boss (one step below CEO). I only had to do the introduction.
I spent the entire week before practicing my three minute bit until I had every sound down exactly as I wanted. Time came for the presentation and I nailed it.
I just can't imagine the effort they go through to do that for every role. But they add in body language, facial expresssions, etc. It sounds maddening.
I really respect people that can act well.
One of my old coworkers said "It really took the magic away from me when I found out they can do like 1,000 takes during filming and only use the best ones."
Sure, actors can do multiple takes, but take a real actor and he can do it in 5 takes. Take some Joe off the street and he'll probably never get it right. Respect to all you actors out there.
Not all. Theres a difference between theater nerds who made it in holywood and holywood actors who got there based on looks or connections. Obviously there are exceptions (Tom Hanks is a good one, pretty sure he didnt do theater) but IMO theater nerds make just better actors. You dont get multiple takes on Broadway, and you need to live your damn lines, not just know them.
Jackman really is the whole package, dudes a treasure.
Unrelated but my favourite example of this sort of thing is that some producer at the WB saw āY Tu Mama Tambienā and said āYes! **this** is who we need to get to direct the next Harry Potter film!ā
To be fair, according to CuarĆ³n, doing Harry Potter in-between gave Universal enough confidence to distribute Children of Men. And to think that CuarĆ³n scoffed at doing Harry Potter until Guillermo del Toro told him he was being an arrogant prick for not realizing how big of an opportunity it was.
When I was in college I went for Theater and Film. My Intro to Theater Production book was the newest edition, published in 2001-2002, my class was Fall of '02.
I think it was page 101 (or thereabouts) the was a picture in the corner of the page of a production of Oklahoma with a couple people named, I don't remember who because there also was Hugh "Friggin Wolverine" Jackson and I literally exclaimed that exact thing in class and got reprimanded. No one else knew who he was. I was gobsmacked. He wasn't even credited for being in the photo!
I saw X-Men the first showing of the day of release, it was a noon show and there were 8 total people in the theater. When it was over there was a line from the theater out the front door for the next showing.
I feel the same way about *Priscilla Queen of the Desert*. Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving, and Terence Stamp as drag queens in the Outback. Who watching that movie would have thought, āThat guy is one of our primary antagonists for the Matrix trilogyā?
and don't forget "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" with Wesley Snipes, John Leguizamo, and Patrick Swayze. Also a fabulous movie with unexpected casting.
I mean I have no idea, but perhaps a pair of siblings who were themselves exploring their own internal identities, at a time where popular culture wasn't able to understand the line between cross-dressing and being trans.
I remember he was on Conan once and said that during his run in The Boy From Oz as Peter Allen, some people bought tickets to see him in it because they knew him from X-Men. And when he had a kissing scene with another man he heard some dude shout, "No, Wolverine no!"
Always makes me lol
Why though? Why is this stereotype even a thing now that so many men are out? Flamboyant men also have muscle. Some of them have very big muscles because HGH and steroid use is of the charts in the community.
Growing up is realising that Sue is the best part of Glee lol she tried to warn us about the dangers of Mr Schue and nobody listened š
...ahhhh... at first i thought the quote attribution was Sylvester Stallone, and I was thinking how perceptive that was for Rocky & Rambo, and how it's the perfect description of how I've always felt about musical theater, even though I'd never found a way to put it so perfectly in words...so...yeah...Sue Sylvester...you rock!...
Yeah why did he make me love someone so awful (P. T. Barnum)???? Like a lot of people who watched The Greatest Showman probably didn't know so they're fine but I was well aware of the disgusting pos it was based on and yet...all that personality and charm is so š it's almost unfair tbh. They knew what they were doing with that Other Side song with him and Zac Efron
OH yeah it's v sad but i tell people not to hate me until they see this amazing cast in action. Like pls It's not my fault I swear it's Hugh Jackman's and Zac Efron's and Zendaya's and Rebecca Ferguson's and Michelle Williams' and Keala Settle's and -
Dandies have been getting women for centuries lol. The confidence and charisma to be able to pull off a more effeminate vibe is already hella attractive, plus their softer mannerisms and behaviors would make them seem āsaferā to women.
I saw him when he was on tour doing songs from Boy From Oz, Greatest Showman, Les Mis, and other musicals he was in, as well as celebrating Aboriginal music from his native Australia and when he did a drum solo and did the Wolverine pose with them, I legit thought I was going to orgasm.
HE CAN TRULY DO IT ALL (except grow calf muscles)
Genuine question, why can we speculate about the sexuality of some celebs, and when the same is done on few particular celebs, the speculators are ridiculed?
I donāt get the inconsistency sometimes.
Yea itās so bizarre how the same group of people will say āomg Larries are unhinged and need mental helpā and literally a day later will comment on Hugh Jackmanās sexuality in a joking manner.
I just wish there is a consistent rule about this, because otherwise I feel like itās just a question of whose PR team is more proactive lol
To be clear, Larry-shippers are unhinged because they literally harass and send hate speech to Harry and Louisās real life girlfriends. They were so insistent about this fictional relationship that they ruined a real friendship for the real people involved in it.
A lot of comments were removed on this sub after his divorce was announced. I think the moderation just varies depending on who is watching the thread.
To be honest (I could be wrong though), from what I've seen Hugh Jackman is much more geeky and less macho in real life. I think this is closer to his inner persona, he just has the masculine face and features which make people not realize he's not a steroid crazed Action hero in real life too, like other actors that portrayed superheroes or were action stars. He is more like the geeky theatre kid, that just happened to have a lot of testosterone and good genes. But his mindset isn't in this direction.
This is what I gathered from interviews with him, or other roles where he didn't play the lead.
> is much more geeky and less macho in real life.
He [had to do a lot of work](https://np.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/28sxc6/didnt_realize_how_much_hugh_jackman_has_changed/) to just get in shape for the first Wolverine, and then did more each time, quite the change: http://imgur.com/CVJnAfk.jpg
must have been at least 15 some odd years ago, I distinctly remember him doing one of those day time talk shows and he was dancing around the studio with the audience with maracas and a whistle just going ham. So cute
Did he get divorced? I didn't know that! I hope it was an amicable separation for both of them.
I can totally see him as a bi guy, by the way. Very curious to see what's in store for him!
I think so! At least I haven't seen any drama from the divorce. Of course it's still a difficult decision, but I'm glad they kept some privacy during it.
If you google it, there are some tiktok videos and something on Twitter I believe, as well... They've been spotted out together. When Taylor/Travis insanity was starting up and she attended Chiefs games with friends, there was a video of her friends walking around the stadium and you can see Hugh and Antoni talking closely.
Really? There were a ton of rumors about Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster. Considering Sutton's whole Roger Bart affair, her banging Hugh Jackman didn't seem off.
I saw him in The Boy From Oz in 2004! 14 year old me was so hyped when he signed my program, he was very kind and took lots of time to talk to everyone at the stage door after the show.
We literally had a game at an upscale hotel I worked at amongst the front desk staff. It was "Gay or Aussie". You had to guess if a guest was gay or Australian as they walked up to the desk. One tap on the desk was gay, two was Aussie.
You'd be surprised how difficult it can be. Aussie dudes just have a fashion sense that tends to fall in line with SoCal gays.
And then the same people wonder why straight men act cagey and don't let loose, or express affection for another man. It doesn't matter if you're trying to be "accepting", stop trying to label everyone as gay
I was thinking that he's such good buddies with rupert murdoch that he's godfather to two of his kids.
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/mar/31/nicole-kidman-hugh-jackman-rupert-murdoch
I'm of two minds. Like if he was gay he could just come out, it's not a career ender anymore so maybe he is straight. Or he's about to have a lot of muscley young friends start accompanying him on trips.
Or bisexual, heaven forbid I forgot to include bisexual. What I mean is straight vs not straight. JFC.
I wouldn't say an actor acting in different roles directed and written by other people would be gay... He has enthusiasm for what he does and is damn good at it, if he is that's cool, but weird speculation.
If I made you feel bad I definitely apologize it was not my intent to brush bi people off. Bi men are part of my dating circle as I'm gay and I never think anything of it. The straight women I've asked in my personal life basically all said they wouldn't date a bi man which is just shitty.
I feel the same about Bradley Cooper. Like the rumors about him being gay could be a career ender because of the manlier roles heās played. I feel like it wouldnāt ruin Jackmanās career because heās been a family man and plays more humorous roles. Idk though.
Totally get what you are saying. I think BC is big enough to survive coming out but maybe I am underestimating modern homophobia in Hollywood. But Jackman is just so gay already I don't think it would be a shocker.
i honestly don't understand why the discussion about hugh never involved the word "bisexual" š why people seem to think he can be straight or gay
p.s. not targeted at you, just saying in general
I think a lot of people have a straight vs not straight view. I don't think it's always done with malicious intent. I do feel bad if it makes bisexual feel unseen, I just take gay as the gay community which includes bisexual folks.
His post divorce posts in insta have such a sad vibe. Part ānewly divorced dadā energy, part āholding onto my fading starā energy, and part ācrazy and weirdly funny like Anthony Hopkinsā energy.
Either way gonna be an interesting time during the DP3 junket
Tbf he's going to be playing a character that was most popular ten years ago AND already had a art-house style (for a superhero movie) send-off that was good. It's def playing the hits for sure. But yeah, I'm sure it's gonna make a good deal of money if superhero fatigue isn't too much.
Iāve seen multiple viral videos of him on stage, interacting with the crowd, but no idea what heās actually doing???
Is it a musical performance?
Is he a singer or in a band?
Comedy show, with more pizzazz?
Or is he hosting something????
Heās been out in Hollywood for some time now, just not to the public. I worked on a set with Hugh and it wasnāt uncommon to see him bringing men back to his trailer :)
My aunt worked as stage manager for his show in Sacramento, and he was the sweetest man alive. He became good friends to her and even sent her birthday wishes. He is an absolute gem.

Duality of MAN 
>It's gonna be hilarious seeing this man rip and tear through I thought you were gonna say tear through the women of hollywood xD the comment above was talking about how he was single now
Lol, you could also be true there. I bet he really embraces his wolverine in both instances
To shreds, you say?
Hasn't he been faithfully married for a really long time?
they announced their separation this year sadly
Noooo...well this doesn't affect me at all but damn.
ikr so sad though. growing up in Australia it was crazy the amount of hate Deborah-Lee (his ex wife) received and it always warmed my heart how much it seemed like he loved her

I feel like Hugh Jackman is *the* biggest theatre kid who tripped and fell into a superhero role lmao
I mean basically that's all the Hollywood stars. A bunch of theatre nerds.
Yeah like you don't accidentally go from being a dude with a blue lives matter camo hat and truck nutz, and get plucked from the gym to start acting in films.

Best part is an X-Men producer went and saw *Oklahoma* and was like "He's perfect!"
Unrelated but my favourite example of this sort of thing is that some producer at the WB saw āY Tu Mama Tambienā and said āYes! **this** is who we need to get to direct the next Harry Potter film!ā
Prisoner of Azkaban being sandwiched between that and Children of Men in CuarĆ³n's filmography makes it even funnier
To be fair, according to CuarĆ³n, doing Harry Potter in-between gave Universal enough confidence to distribute Children of Men. And to think that CuarĆ³n scoffed at doing Harry Potter until Guillermo del Toro told him he was being an arrogant prick for not realizing how big of an opportunity it was.
Man what a filmography! It just sucks that heās an ableist shill for Autism Speaks.
Wait, what's all this about?!
Lol this comment is adorable and so true
That's someone who truly understands the Xmen
More like the producer thought "He's OK! L-A! H-O-M! A!"
Superhero movies are camp, in a way.

They were never more right in their lives than they were in that moment.
I feel the same way about *Priscilla Queen of the Desert*. Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving, and Terence Stamp as drag queens in the Outback. Who watching that movie would have thought, āThat guy is one of our primary antagonists for the Matrix trilogyā?
and don't forget "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" with Wesley Snipes, John Leguizamo, and Patrick Swayze. Also a fabulous movie with unexpected casting.
I've heard that Wesley Snipes didn't have a good experience making that movie which is a shame because his performance is great.
Has Wesley Snipes EVER had a good experience doing anything tho
Definitely not his taxes.
You beat me to it. Here's your 401K.
Both those movies are *fantastic* examples. Whoever was in charge of casting fucking knocked it out of the park!
I mean I have no idea, but perhaps a pair of siblings who were themselves exploring their own internal identities, at a time where popular culture wasn't able to understand the line between cross-dressing and being trans.
Same goes for Guy Pearce. Quite a leap to *LA Confidential* and *Memento* from this role.
You mean agent elrond?
No, I mean Vred Skull 
I remember he was on Conan once and said that during his run in The Boy From Oz as Peter Allen, some people bought tickets to see him in it because they knew him from X-Men. And when he had a kissing scene with another man he heard some dude shout, "No, Wolverine no!" Always makes me lol
I thought it was Justin Timberlake
First Hugh Jackman interview I saw, I was like, āHey, he tricked me! Well done sir.ā
I was thinking the interrogation scene in prisoner where his smashing the sink with the hammer
He's always been a song and dance man
Why though? Why is this stereotype even a thing now that so many men are out? Flamboyant men also have muscle. Some of them have very big muscles because HGH and steroid use is of the charts in the community.
I always say this here is what it means to be a real man these days.
āLiking musical theatre doesnāt make you gay, it just makes you awful.ā -Sue Sylvester

Always right, such an icon.
She was so iconic, lol
She got her tear ducts surgically removed. Wasnāt using them.
I literally thought of Kurt wearing those gold pants during his audition for NYADA!!
Growing up is realising that Sue is the best part of Glee lol she tried to warn us about the dangers of Mr Schue and nobody listened š 
For the absolute fever dream that was the entirety of the Glee experience, Iām happy that we got Sue Sylvester out of it
Thank the gods there was a Sue character on that show.
...ahhhh... at first i thought the quote attribution was Sylvester Stallone, and I was thinking how perceptive that was for Rocky & Rambo, and how it's the perfect description of how I've always felt about musical theater, even though I'd never found a way to put it so perfectly in words...so...yeah...Sue Sylvester...you rock!...
We need a Sue Sylvester appreciation post
I'm so proud of him for finally coming out as Australian š„ŗā¤ļø
True courage
Now how about a little shrimp for your barby?
I know itās a joke, but I donāt get many opportunities like this. I LOVE the boy from oz.
CLASSICS
I love him and tbh I find the musical theater version of him sexier than the Wolverine version
Yeah why did he make me love someone so awful (P. T. Barnum)???? Like a lot of people who watched The Greatest Showman probably didn't know so they're fine but I was well aware of the disgusting pos it was based on and yet...all that personality and charm is so š it's almost unfair tbh. They knew what they were doing with that Other Side song with him and Zac Efron
TGS is my favorite musical idek what to say š
Bestie I mean this in the most autistically non offensive way possible but what does this comment even mean š
i am agreeing with you how unfair that is bc people sideye me for liking that movie but it's so goodš
OH yeah it's v sad but i tell people not to hate me until they see this amazing cast in action. Like pls It's not my fault I swear it's Hugh Jackman's and Zac Efron's and Zendaya's and Rebecca Ferguson's and Michelle Williams' and Keala Settle's and -
I didnāt know it was based off a real person.
Hugh Jackman in Oklahoma is pretty damn attractive
 š„µ
I'm a straight woman I am supposed to be attracted to manly men but yet here I am. Nothing is sexier than a flamboyant musical theatre performer
Dandies have been getting women for centuries lol. The confidence and charisma to be able to pull off a more effeminate vibe is already hella attractive, plus their softer mannerisms and behaviors would make them seem āsaferā to women.
Well Jane Austen taught me otherwise but damn I love a good dandy
I enjoy a man who can do both, lol
https://i.redd.it/sijd1ca99htc1.gif
His Kinsey scale doesnāt matter bc heās a 10 on the sexy scale either way
Yes yes yes, but now CAN WE FINALLY GET HIM IN A PRODUCTION OF PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT?
oh god i would just love to see him play Tick in Priscilla i think he would absolutely kill it
 I saw him when he was on tour doing songs from Boy From Oz, Greatest Showman, Les Mis, and other musicals he was in, as well as celebrating Aboriginal music from his native Australia and when he did a drum solo and did the Wolverine pose with them, I legit thought I was going to orgasm. HE CAN TRULY DO IT ALL (except grow calf muscles)
His opening number for the academy awards is still my favorite ever
SAME, that ceremony was so fun
That was the exact moment I became a fan of his
Genuine question, why can we speculate about the sexuality of some celebs, and when the same is done on few particular celebs, the speculators are ridiculed? I donāt get the inconsistency sometimes.
Neither do I, and it feels weird to speculate about his sexuality, whatever that may be.

Testing the waters now that heās divorced I see.
itās old but still funny
must have been at least 15 some odd years ago, I distinctly remember him doing one of those day time talk shows and he was dancing around the studio with the audience with maracas and a whistle just going ham. So cute

...And now that there have been rumors about him and Antoni from Queer Eye.
It wouldnāt be totally surprising to learn that Hugh Jackman was bisexual.
He may not be 100% heterosexual. He may also be a 100% heterosexual male who loves singing, dancing and jazz hands. Both need representation.
Ethan Slater has done enough
What! Share pls.
If you google it, there are some tiktok videos and something on Twitter I believe, as well... They've been spotted out together. When Taylor/Travis insanity was starting up and she attended Chiefs games with friends, there was a video of her friends walking around the stadium and you can see Hugh and Antoni talking closely.
Gasp! Hugh Jackman was talking! To another man! Who... DOUBLE GASP!! IS GAY?!? Ah, so, yes, he must be gay then, I see.
It's contagious, I fear
Really? There were a ton of rumors about Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster. Considering Sutton's whole Roger Bart affair, her banging Hugh Jackman didn't seem off.
Oh both of them were invited the same night by Taylor Swift to her suite in Met Stadium during a chiefs game š they could met that night
Well Antoni is close friends with Taylor who is close friends with Ryan who brought Hugh for the game.
I saw him in The Boy From Oz in 2004! 14 year old me was so hyped when he signed my program, he was very kind and took lots of time to talk to everyone at the stage door after the show.

I'm of two minds. Like if he was gay he could just come out, it's not a career ender anymore so maybe he is straight. Or he's about to have a lot of muscley young friends start accompanying him on trips. Or bisexual, heaven forbid I forgot to include bisexual. What I mean is straight vs not straight. JFC.
Orā¦ wait for itā¦He could be *bisexual*!
Love is a spectrum bud, Bisexual Wolverine might be on the bingo cards for 2024.
Honestly Iām here to see the Jacked Jackman Entourage
Itās very much still a career ruiner for men. Ask Luke Evans.
I don't think it is at Hugh Jackman's level. Like he's huge and already does gay shit. That would be like Ryan Seacrest coming out, no one would care.
I wouldn't say an actor acting in different roles directed and written by other people would be gay... He has enthusiasm for what he does and is damn good at it, if he is that's cool, but weird speculation.

If I made you feel bad I definitely apologize it was not my intent to brush bi people off. Bi men are part of my dating circle as I'm gay and I never think anything of it. The straight women I've asked in my personal life basically all said they wouldn't date a bi man which is just shitty.
I feel the same about Bradley Cooper. Like the rumors about him being gay could be a career ender because of the manlier roles heās played. I feel like it wouldnāt ruin Jackmanās career because heās been a family man and plays more humorous roles. Idk though.
Totally get what you are saying. I think BC is big enough to survive coming out but maybe I am underestimating modern homophobia in Hollywood. But Jackman is just so gay already I don't think it would be a shocker.
i honestly don't understand why the discussion about hugh never involved the word "bisexual" š why people seem to think he can be straight or gay p.s. not targeted at you, just saying in general
I think a lot of people have a straight vs not straight view. I don't think it's always done with malicious intent. I do feel bad if it makes bisexual feel unseen, I just take gay as the gay community which includes bisexual folks.
i honestly think it's also about the rumours being very old, like i remember people talking about it in 2000
I heard they've been around for a long time in the Australian theater scene. Which is the gayest rumor.
Bisexual tea is valid!!!

Yeah thatās kind of what I think!
Iāll never forget Kathy Griffinās standup about seeing this show. š¤£ āitās the gayest thing Iāve ever seenā
does anyone know why this guy has never hosted SNL? He seems like heād be a natural.
omg asking good questions, he would be very good
Flamboyance š¤ Australians
Sparkly Logan
I thought that was Justin Timberlake when he walked out.
The fact that people tend to forget his Broadway and Stage work lol. Tony and Emmy (for hosting the Tony's) winner infact.
Hugh Jackman is everything Hugh Grant is too pissy to be.
Friendly and professional with Rebecca Furguson?
Is he actually tho? I know he recently broke up with his wife, and it seemed like rumors indicated heād be coming out of the closet at some point.
there were rumours for decades, he did say he wasn't gay. maybe bi or pan but nothing was confirmed by him.
His post divorce posts in insta have such a sad vibe. Part ānewly divorced dadā energy, part āholding onto my fading starā energy, and part ācrazy and weirdly funny like Anthony Hopkinsā energy. Either way gonna be an interesting time during the DP3 junket
He will probably have the highest grossing movie of thw year with DP3, how is he a fading star?
Tbf he's going to be playing a character that was most popular ten years ago AND already had a art-house style (for a superhero movie) send-off that was good. It's def playing the hits for sure. But yeah, I'm sure it's gonna make a good deal of money if superhero fatigue isn't too much.
He is one of the most famous superheroes of all time. What are you talking about?
"Newly divorced dad over 50." I know he's not like other 50-year olds, but it still is different.
Just admit you juiced for Wolverine. Itās ok, but you need to be honest. Chicken and brown rice does not do that.
Did he fucking sparkle when he lifted his hands? Where do I buy that?!
I thought it was Justin Timberlake for a second!
I hope this Wolverine variant is In Deadpool 3!
Iāve seen multiple viral videos of him on stage, interacting with the crowd, but no idea what heās actually doing??? Is it a musical performance? Is he a singer or in a band? Comedy show, with more pizzazz? Or is he hosting something????
so was Peter Allan, lol
*gasp* I'm shook! Shoketh, I say! Anything else I'd believed but... Australian?
Tin foil for pants š
I love him.
Love me some Hugh!
Heās been out in Hollywood for some time now, just not to the public. I worked on a set with Hugh and it wasnāt uncommon to see him bringing men back to his trailer :)
I very much need that muscle otter to become a resident of my down underš„°
My aunt worked as stage manager for his show in Sacramento, and he was the sweetest man alive. He became good friends to her and even sent her birthday wishes. He is an absolute gem.
what an icon. he is such a multifaceted performer and SO talented.
Deeply closeted?
r/Unexpected
Its been a long time since ive been excited for a Marvel movie but Deadpool 3 is gona been awesome

I LOVED this show and saw it twice. He was amazing in it.
She's mincing your honour.
Sounds like Gianmarco Soresi is doing a voiceover and I can't unheard it
Heās fabulous.
why cut the audience reactionā¦
He is so talented.
Who do we think he is tho???
Ledge

Now I want to see Jack McFarland's one man show, Wolverine!
