Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman Share How It Is to Have a Beer With Taylor Swift

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are enjoying more than just screw-top rosé with Taylor Swift. The ‘Deadpool’ and ‘Wolverine’ stars, who have teamed up with Heineken Silver for the ‘All The Taste, No Bitter Endings’ campaign, tell PEOPLE exclusively that Taylor Swift is someone they’d invite to share a drink.

“Taylor Swift is a fun person to have a beer with,” Reynolds states, to which Jackman jokingly responds, “Who?” Reynolds quips back, “If you get access to outside information — once you leave the bomb shelter — you’ll understand. Huge politician. And one of the funnier people. People keep asking if she’s in the movie, and I keep saying if there’s ever someone else to play Deadpool, I think it might actually be Taylor.”

Reynolds shares a well-known friendship with Swift: his daughters James, Inez, and Betty are referenced in Swift’s song “Betty,” and his wife Blake Lively is one of Swift’s closest friends. When asked who the bigger celebrity is in his household — Deadpool or Swift — Reynolds doesn’t hesitate. “Oh, Taylor Swift,” he says. “Do you think I’m a fool? Taylor Swift all the way.”

In ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’, directed by Shawn Levy, Reynolds’ Deadpool teams up with Jackman’s Wolverine for a new mission, based on Marvel comics. Reynolds emphasizes that Swift is anything but an anti-hero. “She uses her powers for good — could use them for bad — but uses them a different way. [She’s] one of the funniest people you’ll meet.”

In the campaign ad, Deadpool offers Wolverine a truce amid an argument by presenting him with two Heinekens to enjoy together. “See?” Deadpool asks as they sit side by side. “Isn’t this better than fighting?” “Nope,” Wolverine quips as Deadpool tries to put his hand on Wolverine’s shoulder.

Offscreen, Heineken isn’t the only thing that unites the longtime friends. Jackman, who cheered on Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce alongside Reynolds and Swift at a Chiefs-Jets game, agrees with his friend about sharing a beer with Swift. “I can concur,” Jackman says. “She’s very funny.”

Both Reynolds and Jackman note that wrapping ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ was bittersweet. “Usually, you’re just thrilled to be done. This one? No. I had depression when we finished our actual photography,” says Reynolds. “It’s hard,” adds Jackman.

“Thankfully, we’re all together promoting it and we are taking in every second because it’s such a rare thing. Shawn also, the director, the three of us are like the three amigos. We live close by. We hang out together, so shooting the movie, prepping the movie, now promoting the movie together? Yeah, [the end] is bittersweet.”
