Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds recently exchanged playful barbs about each other’s height in a humorous social media post. The interaction, which took place on X (formerly Twitter), featured a black-and-white selfie of the pair holding a Nautical Almanac, promoting their co-owned Australian sailing team, the BONDS Flying Roos.
Jackman, known for his roles in films such as Logan, took the opportunity to joke about the height difference between the two. In his post, he quipped, “He’s not taller. His hair is just higher,” suggesting that their heights, both reported at 1.88 meters, are equal. The light-hearted comment sparked a wave of reactions from fans, many of whom joined in on the fun.
Among the comments, one fan playfully suggested, “He’s clearly taller, Hugh,” while another chimed in with, “He is standing on a telephone directory.” Others commented, “Tell Ryan to put down the hairspray,” and “Ah, so it’s all about the hair height, not the height height.” The banter highlighted the friendly rivalry between the two actors, which has been a source of entertainment for their followers.
The playful exchange comes as the duo prepares for the upcoming KPMG Sydney Sail Grand Prix, scheduled from February 28 to March 1, 2026. Last year, it was announced that Jackman and Reynolds became co-owners of the BONDS Flying Roos, joining driver and CEO Tom Slingsby to lead the newly rebranded team.
In a joint statement, the pair expressed their excitement: “We’re incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure. Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country, as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia.” Their statement humorously acknowledged the playful nature of their partnership, which has attracted attention both in the sailing world and beyond.
As the BONDS Flying Roos gear up for their first race under new ownership, fans can expect more light-hearted interactions between Jackman and Reynolds. Their camaraderie not only promotes their team but also entertains an audience eager for more of their friendly rivalry.
