Taylor Swift took to social media on Friday to share a tear-jerking message to her ‘best friend’ Hugh Jackman, to mark the release of his film Deadpool & Wolverine.

The US pop star, 34, shared a photo to Instagram of her posing with lead actors Jackman, 55, and Ryan Reynolds, 48, and captioned it with heartfelt words.

‘Over the past few years I have watched one of my best friends on this planet pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness and magic into this film,’ Swift began.

‘He’s created the best work of his life, and this film feels like an actual joy portal, a wild escape from reality and an abs sandwich.’

Swift then jokingly referred to the other celebrities in the photo – Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively and the film’s director Shawn Levy – as ‘randoms’ because her admiration of Jackman was so high.

‘I don’t know how he did it. But that’s just Hugh for you. These other randoms crashed the photo and we were too polite to ask them to leave.’

‘Deadpool and Wolverine is out! Buy tickets if you like things that are unspeakably awesome!’

Swift’s heartfelt note quickly went viral and caught the attention of Reynolds himself, who shared it and added: ‘OMG, this may have just killed Hugh.’ – while Jackman quickly agreed by adding a ‘100’ emoji to his own repost.

It comes after Hugh revealed why Swift didn’t make him ‘feel great’ about his career after attending an NFL game with her last year.

Jackman made the comments at the New York world premiere of his new film, Deadpool & Wolverine on Monday.

The Aussie actor, alongside co-star Ryan, was asked about attending a Kansas City Chiefs game in October last year to cheer on Swift’s tight end boyfriend Travis Kelce.

Jackman, Reynolds, his wife Blake, and several other celebrities were invited to Swift’s VIP lounge to watch the game at the time.

‘If you ever really want to kinda not feel great about your career, go to [an NFL] game with Taylor Swift and Blake Lively — and then you’re Blake Lively, Taylor Swift “and others” at the game,’ Hugh told People magazine on the red carpet on Monday.

The X-Men star was making fun of the fact that he was referred to as ‘and others’ on several media sites that uploaded pictures from the game night.
