Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have exchanged friendly fire in their amusing ‘feud’ for several years.

The musical sees Ryan sing and dance through a film for the first time in his career – two skills that Hugh is very proficient in.

‘I’m sure Hugh is going to have a field day with this,’ the 46-year-old told the Binge Guide in Stellar Magazine this weekend. 

‘Hugh is a lot like the many dancers and musical talents we were rubbing shoulders with each and every day on this film in that he’s one of those people who makes it all look sort of effortless and effervescent. 

‘And I don’t have any of that’ the Van Wilder star said.

Ryan stars with Will Ferrell in a Christmas-themed movie musical, Spirited, and says learning how to sing and dance for the comedy is the toughest thing he’s ever done.

Reynolds, who performed numerous stunts in action films such as Deadpool, said: ‘I understand the music and dance of fight sequences. 

‘I’ve done that my entire career. I have a shorthand with those.’

Yet he mused: ‘I can kind of memorise a pretty complicated fight sequence quicker than most, I’d say.

‘But a dance number is just starting from ground zero. For me it was really challenging.

‘I moved very slowly at the beginning, and I’m not totally certain I got much faster by the end but, thankfully, it’s not a live show so we get multiple cracks at each moment.

‘I’ve got to say, singing and dancing is so much harder than anything that I’ve ever tackled.’

Hugh said he struggled to remember the specifics, but it did start over Ryan’s ex-wife, Scarlett Johansson, who he was married to from 2008 until 2011.  

‘It’s gone back so long now… God, this is a classic sign where your feud has gone too long, where you don’t even know why or how it started!’ he told Daily Beast.
