The Greatest Showman star claimed that he enjoyed making the superhero film and had the time of his life, but he has one complaint from the father of four, who was also one of the writers of the film. 

While addressing the audience, Jackman said that he was upset over Wolverine not being a part of the opening credits dance number of the movie. 

The actor stated, “Don’t tell Ryan… I don’t need to be in every scene in the movie. But Ryan is a writer. And when I see the script, I see that the scene that I’m not in is the opening sequence, which is a dance number to an NSYNC song by Ryan.” 


The Daily Mail further reported that Jackman said, “I’m like, the one scene I’m not in has dance. Now, Ryan, he’s very talented, but dancing?”

The X-Men star went on to joke that there was no way he could have matched up with Reynolds’ body double, who performed the song in the film because that guy was like 25 years old.
