Ryan Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, made a generous donation to two separate food banks in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. But even during the announcement of their combined charitable act, the Deadpool actor couldn't help but take a shot at his longtime 'rival' and counterpart, Hugh Jackman, during the process. For years both, Reynolds and Jackman have been participating in an ongoing fictitious beef to publicly humiliate one another. Last year, the two attempted to end their ongoing feud on camera but failed miserably. Now, the rivalry continues even during a philanthropic act of generosity. Kevin Winter/Getty Images
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively donated a total of $1 million to be split between the Feeding America and Food Banks Canada organizations. The Waiting... actor took to his Twitter account to encourage others to the same for those in need struggling, captioning his statement, "I think we can all agree, Covid-19 is an asshole. If you can help, visit, http://FeedingAmerica.org and/or http://FoodBanksCanada.ca." Within the post, the declaration reads:
"Covid-19 has brutally impacted older adults and low-income families. Blake & I are donating $1 million to be split between FEEDING AMERICA and FOOD BANKS CANADA. If you can give, these orgs need our help. Take care of your bodies and hearts. Leave room for joy. Call someone who’s isolated and might need connection."
The 43-year-old thespian then closed out his call-to-action taking a dig at the Wolverine actor, writing:
"(Hugh Jackman’s # is 1-555-[crying emoji]-HUGH.)"
Blake Lively also took to her social media accounts to announce her act of charity and to encourage others to participate in coronavirus relief efforts. However, it appears that she might be on Team Hugh as she ended her statement, writing:
"Sending so much love," the post reads. "Now can someone please tell Ryan that ’emotional distancing’ from his mother in law is not a thing. Nothing can save him."
Even in the midst of a global pandemic, the saga between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman has yet to come to an end. Check out the duos "truce" in the video provided below.
Hugh Jackman Apologizes For Coronavirus Hand-Washing Faux Pas
Hugh Jackman issued an apology after he got heat for leaving the tap running while he was demonstrating how to wash your hands to ward off coronavirus.
Hugh Jackman is terribly sorry for leaving the tap running for a full 20 seconds while he was giving a "tutorial" of sorts on how to properly wash your hands so as not to contract coronavirus. The actor certainly had good intentions when he shared a video of himself thoroughly scrubbing his paws to the chorus of Doja Cat's hit song, "Say So," made popular by the viral TikTok dance challenge.

However, his attempt at spreading awareness (and, subsequently, not spreading coronavirus) about the correct techniques for effectively washing your hands soon turned into a controversy when the Internet bashed him for unnecessarily leaving the water running for the whole 20 second lathering period. While Hugh has since deleted the clip, it was saved and shared by a fan on Twitter, who didn't seem to have an issue with Hugh's water-wasting errors.
"Hugh Jackman washing his hands to ‘Say So’ by Doja Cat to brighten your day," the user tweeted. Unfortunately, it did quite the opposite for many people, and Hugh decided to give his hand-washing demo another shot. He returned to Twitter for round two, this time remembering to turn the tap off.
