'With sprinkles and little love hearts': Hugh Jackman says Ryan Reynolds sent him 'Wolverine and Deadpool cupcakes' to try and convince him to star in a crossover film
He decided to step down from his role as Wolverine after 17 years following a 'gut' feeling.
Now, Hugh Jackman, 48, has revealed that might not be the only thing that's been filling up his stomach.
In an interview with Channel 10's The Project on Thursday, the Australian actor said that Ryan Reynolds had been sending him cupcakes to try and convince him to star as Wolverine in a Deadpool film.

'How is your phone not off the hook with Ryan Reynolds being like come on?' interviewer Maude Garrett asked about the potential of the star reprising his role in a crossover.
'Not only is it off the hook, cupcakes!' he quipped in reply.
Lighting up at the suggestion, his interviewer excitedly responded: 'Were they Deadpool and Wolverine ones?'
Cupcakes?! Hugh said that Ryan is sending him cupcakes with 'sprinkles
'Yeah with sprinkles and all that... and love hearts!' Hugh said, playing along.
'Which is also his way of saying, come on, fatten up buddy'.
Earlier in the interview, the Logan star was singing a different tune when asked whether this was his 'last hurrah' as Wolverine.

'This is it, there was many days on set where I'm like: good choice!' he joked.
'I feel like the athlete who has had a 17-year career and announces his retirement'.
He reconfirmed his stance later in the interview, when he discussed concerns over how he'll stay in shape now that he's not starring in the action-heavy role.
'I don't know what will happen now, because I've got nothing on the horizon,' he said, appearing slightly downcast with the admission.
Retirement? 'I feel like the athlete who has had a 17-year career and announces his retirement' said Hugh
'It's the right time, I just know it in my gut'.
With the impressive last laugh, Maude quipped back: 'You gotta listen to that, while you don't have one!'
The hunky actor wasn't sporting the nose bandage he's been wearing in recent weeks while recovering from skin cancer surgery.
The much-loved personality has been undergoing treatments to remove basal cell carcinoma from his nose for several years now, with his most recent removal being his sixth.
