Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman agree to postpone 'feud' to raise money for food charities
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have long teased each other on social media. Heck, the former has even made jokes at the Wolverine actor's expense in both of his Deadpool movies.
But now, the X-Men stars have decided to settle their differences for a whole 24 hours in honour of the All In Challenge, which aims to provide food and supplies to children, elderly people and frontline workers amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"The Jackmans and Reynolds have been mortal enemies for as long as there has been Jackmans and Reynoldses..ses," a deadpan Reynolds announced in a video the pair both shared on Twitter.

"For generations, it's been a point of family honour to oppose each other," Jackman added, before going on to explain that the rivalry stems from the fact that he started a coffee company and Reynolds started a gin business.
"But for one day, and one day only, we have agreed to agree to not disagree and only a pandemic could make that happen," Reynolds went on.
Jackman said: "We've agreed to join the All In Challenge. We'll stop our feud for one day and help sell a different type of drink."
Hugh and I have a temporary cease-fire on our feud for the @allinchallenge. So, I nominate, legendary Astronaut, @Cmdr_Hadfield, Soccer Superstar, @AshleyLawrence - and just to screw with him... @RealHughJackman. (WHAAT? A challenge inside a challenge.) https://t.co/9RKgI0G1X5 pic.twitter.com/pyFG5Agstr

Those who donate to the cause – which will see 100% of funds go to Feeding America, Meals On Wheels, World Central Kitchen and No Kid Hungry – will be entered into a draw to have Reynolds and Jackman come to their house.
There, the feuding duo will "help [the winner] and [their] kids set up a lemonade stand" and sell the beverage for two hours.
