"I've come in, I've heard The Greatest Showman playing, and I come around the corner, and there is my kids watching the movie, singing along," he recalled. "And Hugh is acting it out with them, like, just this big kid."

"This is a true story, I'm not making this up," Reynolds said.

Notably, the two frenemies have been making the rounds in order to promote their new movie, the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine.

The movie will mark the introduction of the X-Men to the Disney-owned Marvel Cinematic Universe after the company purchased 20th Century Fox, under which the first two Deadpool films were distributed.

"Actually, you're not even wrong. My kids watch Greatest Showman all the time," said Reynolds, who shares daughters Betty, James and Inez, as well as a fourth baby, with wife Blake Lively.

Reynolds recalled the impromptu scene as one of "the most heartbreaking, beautiful things I'd ever seen," adding that Jackman has outperformed him in both musicals and as a father.

He shared that after this incident he knew that nothing he would ever do could surpass what Hugh did for their children.

Earlier, Reynolds said, "Shawn Levy told me something that stuck with me forever, that people tend to only talk about their wins. But I think it's really important for your kids in particular to know that you lose."

"You don't get what you want all the time. Something you worked on really hard didn't work," Reynolds continued. "You feel like you said something embarrassing today, you did something that didn't sit right with you. It's just so important that [your kids] see that and don't just hear, 'Oh, Dad nailed it.' Because you lose so much more than you win."

Deadpool & Wolverine is out in UAE theatres on July 25.
