Hugh Jackman became the target of comedian Ricky Gervais’ playful banter after sharing a shirtless poolside selfie on social media during the Christmas holiday in Sydney.
In the picture, Jackman flashed a broad smile while showing off his muscular frame as he lounged in the water.
While fans praised the image, Gervais took to X to humorously create the actor’s photo, sharing one of his signature bath selfies with the caption, “Twinsies.”
According to Daily Mail, Gervais’ post quickly went viral while sparking laughter among followers, and some fans even suggested the exchange could inspire a movie plot featuring the two stars as estranged brothers.
In regards to this, one user commented, “Hugh plays himself, and you play his jealous brother… Wackiness ensues!”
As per the publication, Jackman is currently spending the festive season in Sydney with his children, Oscar and Ava.
Meanwhile, his rumored partner and Broadway star Sutton Foster remained in the United States for the holidays.
Furthermore, this social media interaction came as Jackman continues to make headlines following his separation from Deborra-Lee Furness after nearly three decades of marriage.
