Hugh Jackman advised Prince Harry not to join the stage during a joint interview with Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy.
The interview was meant to be a routine discussion about their film "Deadpool and Wolverine," but it took an unexpected turn when the royal guest became overly involved. The event unfolded during a group interview with Jackman, Reynolds, and Levy, who were talking about the film's challenges and excitement.
Suddenly, Prince Harry approached the stage with a playful grin. "What's happening?" Jackman exclaimed, attempting to dissuade the prince. Ignoring the warning, Harry leaped onto the stage, eliciting gasps from the audience. Reynolds and Levy looked on, both amused and perplexed.
Jackman quickly stepped in, directing Harry to exit the stage. Unfazed, Harry declared he wanted to join the fun. Reynolds quipped, "Harry, mate, I know you enjoy storming stages, but this one is ours," which prompted laughter from the audience. Levy, aiming to ease the tension, suggested keeping the interview PG. Harry, with a twinkle in his eye, jokingly asked Jackman if they could swap roles, expressing a desire to try being Wolverine. The audience erupted in laughter as Jackman playfully yet firmly responded, "Sorry, Harry, this Wolverine gig is mine. Find your own superhero role."
As Harry continued to edge closer, Reynolds added, "You know, Harry, I hear Prince Charming needs a sidekick," which brought another round of laughter. Despite the light-hearted banter, Jackman managed the situation with a mix of humor and professionalism. Levy eventually escorted Prince Harry off the stage, apologizing to the audience and suggesting a special Royal Edition interview in the future. The crowd applauded, clearly enjoying the impromptu entertainment.
Afterward, Jackman and Reynolds reflected on the incident, with Reynolds joking about Harry's potential career in stunt work. The trio's wit and charm turned the unexpected royal interruption into a memorable highlight, showcasing their quick thinking and camaraderie. Perhaps someday Prince Harry will get a chance to join the "Deadpool and Wolverine" team, but for now, he remains the royal heckler in the audience.
