Hugh Jackman recently chatted with Entertainment Tonight's Rachel Smith about his recent Emmy nomination, his life at home during quarantine, and more.

Jackman talked about his "feud" with his friend Ryan Reynolds, who made a video in response to Jackman's Emmy nomination.

"That's crazy," Reynolds said of the nom. "Not that you don't deserve it, well..."

"Blake [Lively, Reynold's wife] just texted me and said 'He won't get out of bed. He's furious. He's very angry with the Academy'," Jackman said.

Jackman was recently nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his role in Bad Education.

Hugh Jackman has made an impression on audiences of all ages with his multi-hyphenate career persona, as successful on stage in front of live crowds as he is on film. From his award-winning turn on Broadway as the 1970s singer/songwriter Peter Allen, to his metal claw-wielding Wolverine in the blockbuster X-Men franchise, Jackman has proven to be one of the most versatile actors of our time.

Jackman garnered his first Academy Award nomination, for Best Actor, for his performance in Tom Hooper's Les Misérables, based on the popular stage show created from Victor Hugo's famous novel of the same name. Jackman's standout performance as protagonist Jean Valjean also earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical, as well as Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award nominations, for both Best Ensemble and Best Male Actor in a Leading Role, and a BAFTA Award nomination. Most recently, he was nominated for his role as P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman. Sales for the soundtrack to the film have broken records the world over and reached multi-platinum status in many countries including the UK and America.
