In a video posted on Instagram on Wednesday, the Greatest Showman actor joked that Reynolds getting an Oscar nomination would make his life "insufferable".

"Ryan Reynolds getting a nomination in the best song category would make the next year of my life insufferable. I have to spend a year with him shooting Wolverine and Deadpool. Trust me; it would be impossible. It would be a problem," he said.

He added that he loved Ferrell, Octavia Spencer, and the song, but "please, please, from the bottom of my heart, do not validate Ryan Reynolds in this way. Please".
