Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds Joke About Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's Fame When Asked About the Chiefs (Exclusive)

With Taylor Swift and Blake Lively in their “glittering prime,” it can be difficult to be the center of attention when they're at the same event as you —just ask Deadpool & Wolverine stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

At the world premiere of Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine in New York City on Monday, July 22, the film's titular stars expressed to PEOPLE just how famous Swift, 34, and Lively, 36, really are.

“If you ever really want to kinda not feel great about your career, go to an NFL game with Taylor Swift and Blake Lively — and then you're Blake Lively, Taylor Swift and others at the game,” Jackman, 55, quips on the red carpet to PEOPLE. Reynolds, 47, agreed and reiterated, "We're just and others."

The acting duo, Swift and Lively, who is married to Reynolds, famously attended the Kansas City Chiefs game on Oct. 1, 2023, to cheer on the team and Swift's tight end boyfriend, Travis Kelce, 34.

Asked whether they'll attend another game, Jackman replies, “Oh, I hope so,” while Reynolds says, “You don’t say no to that.”

Swift, a 14-time Grammy winner, memorably received an enormous amount of attention throughout this past NFL season when she attended 13 Chiefs games to cheer on her NFL boyfriend, who has in return attended 14 of her Eras Tour shows. They even kissed after the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory in February.

ch other during the Super Bowl as well as the Oct. 1 Chiefs vs. Jets game, where Jackman and Reynolds were photographed with them.

In 2022, Reynolds admitted that he, Lively and their kids are “obsessed” with Swift — and for good reason.

Swift included their daughter James’ voice on 2017's Reputation track “Gorgeous” and then shouted out James and the couple's other daughters, Inez and Betty, on her 2020 folklore track “Betty.”

Swift also mentioned Lively and Reynolds in her acceptance speech when that LP won Album of the Year at the 2021 Grammys. Later in 2021, Lively directed Swift's “I Bet You Think About Me” music video.

Meanwhile, Reynolds and Jackman continued to bond throughout 2024 as they promote Deadpool & Wolverine, which hits theaters on Friday, July 26.

One experience involved the actors recently visiting another pop star’s home. They, along with director Shawn Levy, went to Madonna's house to ask her for permission to use her 1989 hit“Like a Prayer” in theDeadpool & Wolverine trailer and movie.

Their star power worked even though “Madonna doesn't just license songs, particularly that song," Reynolds emphasized.
