Brandon Sklenar<\/a> has been right beside his <\/span>It Ends With Us<\/em><\/a> co-stars promoting their upcoming romantic drama for weeks, but he wasn’t expecting to get a surprise grilling from <\/span>Ryan Reynolds<\/a> and <\/span>Hugh Jackman<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n On Tuesday, Sklenar, 34, attended the New York City premiere of <\/span>It Ends With Us, <\/span><\/em>where<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>he\u00a0spoke with ET’s Rachel Smith about the recent viral promo, which he “had no idea” about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ahead of the premiere, Reynolds, 47,\u00a0<\/span>shared a clip of him crashing a junket interview with Sklenar<\/a> — who plays the love interest of Reynolds’ wife, <\/span>Blake Lively<\/a>, in <\/span>It Ends With Us<\/span><\/em> — and posing as an interviewer to grill the actor on the nature of his relationship with Lively, 36. The hilarious bit also saw Reynolds ask his real-life mom,\u00a0Tammy Reynolds, to grill Sklenar, as well as <\/span>his Deadpool & Wolverine<\/em> co-star<\/a> and real-life bestie, Jackman, 55.<\/span><\/p>\n “The first time I ever read it was while we were shooting it,” Sklenar revealed to ET. “So I had no idea what was happening.”<\/span><\/p>\n The “junket crashers” video saw Sklenar awkwardly dodging questions from Reynolds and Reynolds’ mom about why he wants to steal Lively away, and reached a strangely heartfelt high point when Jackman came out and Sklenar was genuinely moved just by getting to meet the beloved movie star.<\/span><\/p>\n “I found out Hugh was coming like an hour before,” Sklenar explained. “He’s the literal dream… I mean, all of them are….\u00a0[but] to have someone that is <\/span>that<\/span><\/em> prolific and incredible — it could be a musical, it could be <\/span>Wolverine<\/span><\/em>, it can be <\/span>Prisoners,<\/span><\/em> it can be whatever it is, and he’s literally one of the greatest actors walking the Earth.”<\/span><\/p>\n Sklenar said he was truly moved by getting the meet Jackman in person.<\/span><\/p>\n “He’s so unbelievably kind and down to Earth,” he shared. “We finished that video and I walked away and someone came up and was like, ‘Do you want an iced coffee?’ And I just started crying, like legitimately crying. It was just so beautiful.”<\/span><\/p>\n “It was such a beautiful thing to do, such a show of support,” he added, referring to Reynolds and Jackman lending their star power and buzz to promote another film they aren’t even in. “It was just amazing, like on a human level. Just incredible.”<\/span><\/p>\n It Ends With Us<\/span><\/em> will be going up against <\/span>Deadpool & Wolverine<\/span><\/em> for its third weekend at the box office. The superhero epic has already become the high-grossing R-rated film at the domestic box office and <\/span>raked in $852 million worldwide<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n It Ends With Us<\/span><\/em>\u00a0— adapted from\u00a0<\/span>Colleen Hoover’s<\/a>\u00a0novel of the same name —\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>follows flower shop owner Lily Bloom’s<\/a>\u00a0(Lively) volatile relationship with boyfriend Ryle Kincaid (<\/span>Justin Baldoni<\/a>) amid the reappearance of her first love, Atlas Corrigan (Sklenar).
