Hugh Jackman wasn’t the only X-Men Origins: Wolverine star in Vancouver, Canada recently for reshoots … his co-star Ryan Reynolds (who plays Wade Wilson/Deadpool) was also spotted in town. Here are a few HAWT pics of Ryan workin’ out his hawt bod at a gym in Vancouver last Thursday:

Seriously, if there is ONE guy to rival Hugh Jackman‘s hawtness, it’s Ryan Reynolds. He is really workin’ that tank top shirt right. Those arms! I have to say that I really do commend Ryan for all his hard work. His commitment to staying physically fit is really appreciated by me and I’m pretty sure most of you Pink readers out there. We’ve only seen one promo pic from Wolverine but judging by that pic alone, Ryan is gonna look good in his Deadpool costume. I can’t wait to see more … hopefully with him wearing a lot less ;)

Hugh Jackman reads blogs, apparently. After a few worrisome comments were published in the venerated movie blog Ain’t It Cool News, Hugh sent an email (and a hawt promo pic) to the folks at Ain’t It Cool that tried to put fans’ fears to rest and explain why some scenes had to be reshot for the upcoming movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Here is the full text of Hugh‘s letter along with the kickass promo pic of some of the X-Men O.G.s (ie. original gangstas) that will be featured alongside Hugh‘s Wolverine in the new movie:

Hey Mate- Would you mind posting this? Thank you for your support! HJ

Hey everyone -

It’s Hugh Jackman, sending this note from freezing Vancouver. I have read a lot of your online comments regarding the footage that we are currently shooting and I share your passion for the Wolverine character and the movie – I owe it all to you guys!

I wanted to reach out and let you know that due to scheduling conflicts with certain cast members and location/weather considerations, we had to wait until now to shoot a couple of scenes. Please rest assured that WOLVERINE will be badass and hopefully meet all of your expectations. I am stoked by the positive response to the teaser, which clearly reflects the tone and scope of the film. If you like that, we’ve got much more in store!

In the meantime, here’s an exclusive shot of some characters you may recognize…

Cheers,

Hugh

Um, HOLY SHIZZ! Can you imagine getting an email from Hugh Jackman? Lordy, I think I’d die … but I’m totes digressing. I think it is really smart of Hugh Jackman to try and nip speculation on the film’s reshoots as soon as possible. Once bad buzz gets going on the Internets, it’s very difficult to undo the damage. I’m not sure that his explanatory email will satisfy all concerns by some of the fans but I think it’ll help some. It’s really very cool of him to to send off an email to try and address fans directly. The photo that came along with the email is pretty sick … it features from left to right: Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), Remy LeBeau/Gambit (Taylor Kitsch), Logan/Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Victor Creed/Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber) and Silver Fox (Lynn Collins). Reshoots or not, the film opens in theaters on May 1. I’m already ready. Personally, I have no doubt that the film will be as “badass” as Hugh promises.

Yesterday we saw a couple of pics of Ryan Reynolds as he was running in the famed New York Marathon and today we get to see his hotness just as he crossed the finish line — he managed to finish the marathon race in 3 hours and 50 minutes. Amazingly, Ryan was up for talking to reporters after his grueling run and gave much moral support credit to Michael J. Fox who he saw in the crowd cheering him on (Ryan ran for Team Fox which used the marathon to raise funds for Parkinson’s Disease research):

Mission accomplished! Ryan Reynolds completed the ING New York City Marathon on Sunday – and lived to tell about it. “I’m still standing. I’m very excited about that,” he told reporters after crossing the finish line in 3 hours and 50 minutes, faster than he anticipated. “It was an incredible experience.” Reynolds says in the last leg of the race, he was motivated to keep going by one special spectator. “When I saw Michael J. Fox on Fifth Avenue, I gained about 15 pounds in goose bumps,” said Reynolds. “It kind of pushed me through the last six miles or so.” Reynolds ran for Team Fox in honor of his father, Jim Reynolds, who has suffered from Parkinson’s Disease for the past 15 years. “[During the race] I thought a lot about my father and Michael and the 500,000 other people afflicted with this awful disease in the United States alone. I ran for those who can’t,” Reynolds told PEOPLE. Reynolds’s mother Tammy and brother Terry greeted him with hugs at the finish line in Central Park.

The New York Daily News managed to video their interview with Ryan Reynolds (and others) at the marathon finish line. After the jump, check it out …

Yesterday we saw a few photos of Ryan Reynolds talking to members of the media at a press conference ahead of today’s New York Marathon run … and today we have a couple pics of the man himself in action. Sweat dripping, arms pumping … Ryan sure does make runnin’ look gooood:

I understand that Ryan, who was numbered 14778, managed to complete the 26.2 mile run with a final time of 3:50:22. Sounds like a respectable time to me … and if you also consider that the man looked hawt while running this marathon, well, it sounds like a win-win situation to me. It’s unclear just how much money Ryan managed to raise on behalf of Team Fox (named for Michael J. Fox which seeks to raise funds for Parkinson’s Disease research) but I’m sure he managed to pull in some much needed funds. Well done, Ryan … we all knew you could do it! Woot!

Newlywed Ryan Reynolds, who recently got hitched to his ladylove Scarlett Johansson in a supersecret wedding in Canada in September, was on hand at Tavern on the Green in NYC yesterday to answer questions at a press conference ahead of tomorrow’s 2008 ING New York City Marathon. At yesterday’s press event, Ryan talked about why he was running in the race this year for the first time but, more importantly, was lookin’ all kids of hawt while doing so:

Among the 40,000 expected to pound the New York City Marathon’s 26.2 miles of pavement tomorrow is “Mr. Scarlett Johansson.” Actor Ryan Reynolds, a newlywed since September, is in his first marathon to raise $1 million for Team Fox’s research into Parkinson’s disease, which afflicts his dad. Reynolds called the race “26.2 miles of physical humiliation and searing psychic pain” and training for it “the purest form of hell I could ever imagine.” But despite recent bronchitis and some injuries, he waxed confident, what with Johansson among the cheering throng. “Who knows? I could be a head, a neck and a stump when I finish,” he said.

Kudos goes out to Ryan for taking on such a Herculean task like this, especially since he’s never done it before. I can’t even imagine coming close to pretending to partake in a 26+ mile run … or walk for that matter. I suspect that, with Scarlett cheering him on, Ryan will put for this best effort to help raise funds for his charity of choice. Good luck, Ryan … we’ll be cheering you on!

Happy news to report today … People magazine is reporting that Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds went and got themselves MARRIED in a “quiet” (ie. supersecret) wedding ceremony in Canada, Ryan‘s home country, last night. You may recall that ScRyan confirmed that they got engaged back in May of this year after they had been dating for about a year. I, for one, am not really surprised that they did the deed in this manner (they always struck me as the sneaky types) so much congrats goes out to the happy couple today:

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds made it official with a quiet wedding this weekend, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. Reynolds’s rep also confirmed that they were married … Johansson, 23, began dating Reynolds, 31, last year shortly after his split from singer Alanis Morissette, who recently expressed well wishes on her ex’s engagement.

Altho light on deets at this point, their secret nuptials went down pretty much the way I anticipated that they would. The couple have been extremely quiet about their relationship from the very beginning. I’m sure we’ll be hearing more info soon … at least, I hope we will … it’d be just like the couple to pull a Beyoncé & Jay-Z by staying completely mum on the topic for months to come. In any event, much love and congrats goes out to the happy couple. Mazel Tov!

There are a few really cute pics of the happily engaged Scarlett Johannson and Ryan Reynolds enjoying a bit o’ PDA together as they shopped and motorcycled together here in SoCal this week making the rounds … click HERE to check ‘em out:

The newly engaged couple are obviously madly in love and couldn’t keep their hands off each other on a ride to Malibu on Ryan’s vintage Triumph motorcycle. Ryan couldn’t even wait for the young starlet to take her helmet off before leaning in to give her a long loving kiss. During the romantic trip they stopped for lunch before putting on their riding gear to head to their next destination – the shops. Scarlett went for some retail therapy at the Hidden Treasures Boutique, while Ryan chose to stay out front of the store and take a rest on his bike. The star announced her engagement to Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds earlier this year but she claims she won’t be rushing down the aisle. Speaking on the Jay Leno show, she said: “We’re just enjoying our time. We’re just recently – very recently – engaged. So … we’re just taking it easy. And no big plan yet. I mean, I’m 23. There’s no reason to rush into it. Everything feels very natural and relaxed.”

ACK! They’re so cute, it kills me! Blah … I mean, I should be happy for ScRyan and their engagement but I kinda still harbor some resentment on Alanis Morisette‘s part. I know it’s stupid and pointless but I still feel bad that things didn’t work out for her and Ryan. She may claim to be over him but I’m not … hahaha ;) I mean, I get why Ryan is head over heels for Scarlett but … meh. They look happy tho, that’s something to celebrate.
