Ryan Reynolds made a cameo at Hugh Jackman’s New York City concert, amid he and wife Blake Lively’s nasty legal battle with her “It Ends With Us” Justin Baldoni.Reynolds, 48, surprised a packed crowd at Radio City Music Hall on Friday when he stood up in the audience for an impromptu “Hugh & A” session during the opening night of the Broadway vet’s concert series “From New York, With Love.”The show features Jackman, 56, performing songs from some of his most iconic stage and screen roles, including “The Boy From Oz,” “Les Misérables,” “The Greatest Showman” and “The Music Man.”Reynolds started off the interaction with his signature sense of humor, per People, joking: “I was told this was going to be a comedy version of ‘Les Mis’ as a one-man show.

We all said it was a terrible idea but he carried on. I see he’s duped me once again!”But after a few quips, the Canadian actor took a moment to honor his “Deadpool & Wolverine” co-star with a heartfelt speech.“This was the first major movie star I ever worked with, 16 or 17 years ago on ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine,'” Reynolds reminisced. “And I was young still.

I was impressionable. I was expecting going to this movie set with this guy right here, and I didn’t know, I really didn’t know what was gonna happen. … But what I saw was just about the best thing anyone could possibly experience if you’re working your way up in the industry.”The father-of-four added that what Jackman was was “a movie star, a capital M movie star…”“I saw this gentleman right here walk around that set, and just like here, he knew every single person’s name, even though he was making them up half the time,” Reynolds continued. “He showed a kind of courtesy and gentleness and curiosity, and he put value.
