Hugh Jackman has finally revealed the reason for his "feud" with fellow Hollywood leading actor Ryan Reynolds.

It looks like the hunky heartthrobs were fighting over a girl - Scarlett Johansson to be precise. But it's not what you think!

Jackman, who has been happily married to his wife Deborra-Lee Furness for 25 years, recently told The Daily Beast that it all started back when Johansson, a close friend of his, had just married Reynolds.

"How did it start? It’s gone back so long now," he told the publication. "God, this is a classic sign where your feud has gone too long, where you don’t even know why or how it started!"

He continued:

"I met him back on Wolverine, and I used to ream him because I was very close friends with Scarlett [Johansson], and Scarlett had just married Ryan, so when he came on set I was like, Hey, you better be on your best behavior here, pal, because I’m watching, and we started ribbing each other that way, and then it all escalated with the Deadpool thing and him calling me out, and trying to manipulate me through social media to do what he wanted."

The Daily Beast then referenced the fact that when Jackman and his wife celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary over the weekend, Reynolds told his wife to "hang in there" over social media. So naturally, Jackman was asked by the publication if he was planning to retaliate anytime soon.

He responded: "I try to limit it to five hours a day, planning retribution. I’ve found in the past that it just gets unhealthy if it’s more than five hours of obsessing over how to get Ryan Reynolds. But five hours is good and healthy and keeps me strong and ready."
