In an unexpected twist during a promotional interview for the much-anticipated Deadpool-Wolverine film, Hugh Jackman found himself in a rather amusing predicament involving none other than Prince Harry.
What began as a straightforward chat with Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, and director Sean Levy quickly transformed into a lighthearted spectacle when the Duke of Sussex decided to make an entrance.
The trio was comfortably seated on stage, discussing the excitement and challenges of merging two iconic Marvel characters.
Just as they were getting into the groove of the conversation, a commotion off to the side caught their attention.
To everyone’s surprise, Prince Harry appeared, sporting a cheeky grin and seemingly ready to join the fun.
“What’s happening?” Jackman exclaimed, his eyes widening in disbelief as the prince approached.
He raised a hand, half-heartedly trying to halt Harry’s advance.
But the royal was undeterred.
With a swift leap, he hopped onto the stage, eliciting gasps from the audience.
Reynolds and Levy exchanged glances, a mix of amusement and confusion evident on their faces.
Jackman, ever the professional, quickly took charge.
“Harry, get off the stage,” he commanded, his voice laced with both authority and playful annoyance.
Yet, the prince was having none of it.
“I just want to join in the fun!” Harry declared, his excitement palpable.
The audience erupted in laughter, fully entertained by the royal’s antics.
Reynolds, never one to miss an opportunity for humor, chimed in, “Harry, mate, I know you’re used to storming the stage, but this one’s ours.” His quip drew more laughter from the crowd.
Levy, sensing the need to ease the tension, stepped in with a diplomatic touch.
“Come on, Harry, let’s keep this interview PG, shall we?” he suggested, gesturing for the prince to step back.
However, Harry was not ready to retreat just yet.
With mischief sparkling in his eyes, he turned to Jackman and said, “You know, I’ve always wanted to try my hand at Wolverine.
Maybe we could swap roles for a bit.” This prompted another wave of laughter from the audience, who were clearly enjoying the unexpected royal cameo.
Jackman, unable to suppress a chuckle at the absurdity, replied, “Sorry, Oz, but this Wolverine gig is all mine.
How about you go find your own superhero role, eh?” Yet, Harry continued to inch closer, playfully pleading for a chance to join the action.
Reynolds couldn’t resist one last jab, teasing, “You know, Harry, I hear Prince Charming is looking for a new sidekick.
Maybe that’s more your speed.” The banter flowed effortlessly as the actors worked to keep the spirited prince at bay while maintaining their composure.
Eventually, it was Levy who managed to guide Prince Harry back to his seat, employing a gentle yet firm approach.
“Sorry, folks, but this interview is strictly for the professionals,” he announced to the audience, who responded with applause and cheers.
As the interview wrapped up, Jackman, Reynolds, and Levy shared a moment of reflection on the chaotic yet entertaining encounter.
“Well, that was certainly a first,” Jackman laughed, still shaking his head in disbelief.
Reynolds added with a smirk, “I don’t know, Harry, I think you might have a future in stunt work.
Just leave the acting to the professionals, eh?”
The audience roared with laughter once more, clearly appreciating the trio’s quick wit and camaraderie.
As they concluded the interview, the actors felt a sense of accomplishment, having navigated the unexpected royal intrusion with humor and charm.
This delightful incident will surely be remembered in the realm of celebrity interviews, showcasing the unpredictable nature of the entertainment industry.
And who knows?
Perhaps one day, Prince Harry will get his chance to don the claws and join the Deadpool-Wolverine team.
For now, though, he’ll have to settle for being the royal heckler, providing comic relief from the audience.
