Taking to her Inatagram, Swift began her post, "Over the past few years I have watched one of my best friends on this planet pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness and magic into this film."
"He's created the best work of his life, and this film feels like an actual joy portal, a wild escape from reality and an abs sandwich," it continued.
Swift then humorously referred to the other celebrities in the photo — Reynolds, his wife Blake Lively, and the film's director Shawn Levy — as "randoms," highlighting her immense admiration for Jackman.
"I don't know how he did it. But that's just Hugh for you. These other randoms crashed the photo and we were too polite to ask them to leave," adding, "Deadpool and Wolverine is out! Buy tickets if you like things that are unspeakably awesome!"
Swift's heartfelt note quickly went viral and caught the attention of Reynolds himself, who shared it on his Insta Stories and added: 'OMG, this may have just killed Hugh' - while Jackman quickly agreed by adding a '100' emoji to his own repost.
Hugh Jackman's career unease after attending NFL game with Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds
Taylor Swift's post come after Hugh Jackman's recent revelation about why attending an NFL game with Taylor Swift in 2023 made him feel uneasy about his career.
The Australian actor, along with co-star Ryan Reynolds, was asked about their experience at a Kansas City Chiefs game in October 2023, where they were cheering for Swift's tight end boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Jackman, Reynolds, his wife Blake Lively, and several other celebrities had been invited to watch the game from Swift's VIP lounge.
"If you ever really want to kinda not feel great about your career, go to [an NFL] game with Taylor Swift and Blake Lively — and then you're Blake Lively, Taylor Swift 'and others' at the game," Hugh told People magazine at the premiere of their Marvel Studios movie in New York City on July 22.
The three actors were seen alongside supermodel Gigi Hadid on the red carpet.
Reynolds agreed, adding, "We're just the 'and others.'"
'X-Men' star Jackman humorously noted that he was indeed labeled as "and others" by several media outlets that posted pictures from a game night.
Meanwhile, Jackman and Reynolds' film is expected to have a successful opening weekend, with experts predicting a $165 million debut, potentially the best of the year, according to Variety.
