Hugh Jackman received a surprise visit from Ryan Reynolds during the Friday night opening of his stage show, “From New York, With Love” at Radio City Music Hall.

During a Q&A break in the live performance, Reynolds emerged from the crowd to share some congratulatory remarks with Jackman.

Joking about the show, Reynolds said, "I was told this was going to be a comedy version of ‘Les Mis’ as a one-man show. We all said it was a terrible idea but he carried on. I see he’s duped me once again!”

Reynolds then launched into a sentimental speech about Jackman, saying, "This was the first major movie star I ever worked with, 16 or 17 years ago on ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine.’ … I saw was just about the best thing anyone could possibly experience if you’re working your way up in the industry."

Reynolds continued, "I love this man, I care about this man. He is genuinely the best human being I know."

Jackman responded, "I love you, Ryan Reynolds, I love you, man. Thanks for coming."
