SUMMARY
Jackman emphasized the importance of dance training in performing stunts for action movies.
Both actors found joy in incorporating dance and stage show experiences into their superhero roles.
Marvel actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman open up about the challenges of getting back in superhero shape for Deadpool & Wolverine as actors over the age of 45.
In their People interview where Reynolds and Jackman interviewed each other, the Marvel alums chatted about their superhero training for Deadpool & Wolverine, as they shared the following:
Ryan Reynolds: I couldn’t believe what I saw with what you did physically for this movie. Not just the aesthetic transformation that’s amazing that’s incredible that anyone could do that but just the sheer relentlessness that you dedicated yourself towards stunts, choreography. It was the first time I’d ever seen how invaluable and I hope any young actors are listening to this how invaluable a background in song and dance is when you were doing an action movie. You hit your marks in those fight scenes with speed and confidence the likes of which I have never seen. I don’t care if you were 25, 35, 45, I could not believe what I saw.
Hugh Jackman: Thank you man, Brian Smrz, who’s a great second unit [director] he was the first person to tell me, he said I every time I hire a stunt man or someone’s coming up. I say, “Do dance class,” and they go, “What? I’m going to learn to smash a car and ride a motorbike and jumping,” and he said, “But there’s a mixture of relaxation with the strength that you need, it’s basically choreography. So to to take a punch it’s more about the relaxation.” It’s true, so I approach stunts in the way I would if – I’m not a dancer, but I have done a lot of dance training now and dance in my job and I love the process of it. I love getting something into your bones, learning something. You watch something, you get it in here, and how does that get in your bones? I had got to the point probably 10 years ago I was like, I’m not enjoying it. It was hurting. It was tough. But I’ve had a break, and I’ve been doing a lot of dance. I’ve been doing stage shows. And so when I came back to it, it was really fun.
