Are we surprised the truce was broken not even one week after it was made?
Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds promised to call off their long, well-documented legacy of trolling one another last week. Each agreed to make an ad for the other’s company to note their fresh new amicable start—Reynolds pushing Laughing Man Coffee and Jackman peddling Aviation Gin.
Official truce with @realhughjackman! As a gesture of goodwill, I’m gonna make a beautiful ad for his company, Laughing Man Coffee. Can’t wait! pic.twitter.com/M91iBBydO7

Six days later, and the frenemies debuted a video unveiling their ads for one another. One of the ads was (predictably) not quite what the other was expecting…

While Reynolds’ coffee ad was hughnormously hughsterical and even borderline genuine, Jackman’s ad consisted of dissing Reynolds, then tilting the bottle of gin on its side to empty all over the coffee table.

The ad mostly served to highlight our need for a Deadpool X Wolverine movie collab, while ensuring that this is one Hollywood truce we will (luckily) never see come to fruition.

When @RealHughJackman poured the gin out on his table that was the incing on the cake for me. LOL These guys need to do another movie together.
