AceShowbiz - Hugh Jackman, 56, recently posted a selfie on social media showing him enjoying a swim in a pool during his Christmas holidays in Australia. In the photo, Jackman ditched his top and smiled widely.
Comedian Ricky Gervais, 63, who is known for his own bath selfies, took the opportunity to poke fun at Jackman's photo. On X, formerly known as Twitter, Gervais recreated Jackman's selfie, showing himself half-submerged in a bathtub and pulling a comedic expression.
Gervais captioned the image with the amusing remark, "Twinsies", suggesting a fraternal connection.
Fans reacted with a mix of laughter and excitement to Gervais' cheeky reply. Some proposed that the exchange could inspire a movie script, while others simply exclaimed their amusement.
Jackman has been spending time in Sydney with his children, Oscar and Ava, for the holidays. He has also reunited with several Australian friends, including Michael Ryan and Gina Chick.
Jackman's rumored Broadway star girlfriend, Sutton Foster, has remained in the United States for Christmas. However, it is not clear if she will join Jackman and his family Down Under for the holidays.
Previously, Jackman reportedly planned to introduce Sutton to his children from his marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness, but Deborra was said to be against the idea of a "blended" Christmas.
Jackman and Gervais's exchange has sparked amusement online and further solidifies Gervais's reputation for his playful and humorous approach to social media.
