Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman open up about having beers with Taylor Swift

According to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, Taylor Swift is “hilarious” and great to have a beer with.

This came up while the Deadpool and Wolverine stars were promoting Heineken Silver in a new ad campaign. Blake Lively, Reynolds’ wife, is a close friend of Swift’s, and Reynolds’ daughters James, Inez, and Betty are even referenced in Swift’s song “Betty.” That’s how the stars know each other.

PEOPLE had the chance to interview Reynolds and Jackman, where they confirmed they’d definitely have a beer with Swift.

“Taylor Swift is a fun person to have a beer with,” Reynolds said.

Jackman quickly joked, “Who?”

“Well, if you get access to outside information—once you leave the bomb shelter—you’ll understand. Huge politician,” Reynolds quipped back. “And one of the funnier people. People keep asking if she’s in the movie, and I keep saying if there’s ever someone else to play Deadpool, I think it might actually be Taylor.”

In discussing his household dynamics, Reynolds admitted who the biggest star at home was.

“Oh, Taylor Swift,” he said. “Do you think I’m a fool? Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift all the way.”

Reynolds added some insight about Swift’s superpowers, referencing her song “Cruel Summer.”

“She uses her powers for good—could use them for bad—but uses them a different way,” he added. “[She’s] one of the funniest people you’ll meet.”

Regarding sharing a beer with Swift, Jackman said, “I concur. She’s very funny.”

In the Heineken Silver ad, the two actors are seen fighting. Deadpool gets thrown against a tree, and the hilarity ensues.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,” Deadpool says to Wolverine. “You don’t want to do this.”

“Oh, I promise you…I do,” Wolverine replies.

At this point, Jackman’s character tries to extend his claws, but they fail to work.

“What have you done?” Wolverine asks.

Deadpool then pulls out two Heineken Silvers, and they both toast.

“See? Isn’t this better than fighting?” Deadpool asks.

“Nope,” Wolverine responds.

Regarding wrapping up Deadpool, Reynolds found it difficult to conclude shooting.

“Usually, you’re just thrilled to be done,” Reynolds said. “This one? No. I had depression when we finished our actual photography.”

“It’s hard,” Jackman added. “Thankfully, we’re all together promoting it, and we are taking in every second because it’s such a rare thing. Shawn also, the director, the three of us are like the three amigos. We live close by. We hang out together, so shooting the movie, prepping the movie, now promoting the movie together? Yeah, [the end] is bittersweet.”

Catch Deadpool and Wolverine when they arrive in theaters on July 26. As for Taylor Swift, you can see her on her Eras Tour.
