Hugh Jackman, 56, found himself the target of some playful sledging from Ricky Gervais after posting a shirtless selfie from his poolside Christmas getaway in Australia. In the photo, Jackman flashed a big grin while showcasing his muscular physique, clearly enjoying the holiday moment.
Ricky Gervais, known for his witty and often irreverent humor, quickly took to social media to tease the actor, poking fun at the image in typical Gervais fashion. While Jackman’s fans admired his fitness and festive mood, Gervais’ lighthearted mocking added a humorous twist to the post, sparking more laughter from his followers.
While many fans swooned over Hugh Jackman’s festive poolside selfie, comedian Ricky Gervais, 63, seized the chance to humorously mock the Hollywood star. Known for his viral shirtless bath selfies, Gervais took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his own version of the photo, poking fun at Jackman’s holiday snap.
In his recreation, Gervais showed himself half-submerged in a bath, pulling a comically exaggerated expression. The playful jab at Hugh’s photo added a dose of humor to the situation, drawing laughter from Gervais’ followers and adding to the fun of the holiday exchange.
Ricky Gervais’ cheeky caption, “Twinsies,” jokingly suggested that he and Hugh Jackman might be separated at birth, prompting a flurry of hilarious responses from fans. One follower even proposed a potential movie script, where Hugh plays a fictionalized version of himself, and Ricky stars as his jealous brother. The story would revolve around a strained relationship between the two, eventually culminating in a dramatic on-stage argument that mirrors their real-life tension.
Other fans excitedly speculated about the duo’s future on-screen partnership, with one suggesting, “Two legends, one pool,” and another commenting, “Is this the start of a new superhero duo, Ricky?”
Many expressed how much they enjoyed the exchange, with one fan writing, “Buahahaha my stomach hurts from laughing. This was too good! Thank you!” Meanwhile, Hugh is enjoying the Christmas holidays in Sydney with his children, Oscar and Ava, reconnecting with old friends.
Hugh Jackman has been spotted spending time in Sydney with close friends, including his long-time personal trainer Michael Ryan and Gina Chick. His rumoured Broadway star girlfriend, Sutton Foster, has stayed in the United States for Christmas, seen attending a Pilates class in Los Angeles.
It’s unclear if Hugh’s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness is joining him and their children, Oscar and Ava, for the holidays. Hugh was reportedly planning to introduce Sutton to his children over Christmas, but Deb was allegedly “not keen” on the idea of a blended family Christmas. A source mentioned that Hugh might spend less time with the kids this year to respect the delicate situation.
In September 2023, Hugh filed for divorce from Deb after nearly three decades of marriage, which shocked many fans.
