Hugh Jackman approves divorce joke

Hugh Jackman approved a joke about his divorce in the new film 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' which was directed by Shawn Levy. The joke, delivered by co-star Ryan Reynolds, references Jackman's character Wolverine letting himself go since the divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness. Levy confirmed that both Jackman and Jennifer Garner, who also had a joke related to her divorce from Ben Affleck, were consulted and felt comfortable with the humor. The director emphasized that all jokes were run by the actors to ensure they were in good spirits and not offensive. Jackman and Furness announced their split after 27 years of marriage in a statement expressing gratitude for their time together and a commitment to their family. The pair's decision to separate was framed as a pursuit of individual growth, and they requested privacy during this transition.
