During a press junket for "It Ends With Us," starring Blake Lively and Brandon Sklenar, Sklenar faced unexpected interruptions from Ryan Reynolds, his mother, and Hugh Jackman. Reynolds, who is Lively’s husband, humorously questioned Sklenar about his role and physical appearance. “This is cool. It’s not everyday the husband gets to interview his wife’s love interest,” Reynolds said. He also asked Sklenar about his physique and joked about recruiting him to be his new dad.

The comedic skit continued with Reynolds’ mother taking over the interview. “Well, it’s not everyday the mother-in-law of the leading lady gets to interview the love interest,” she remarked, playfully accusing Sklenar of trying to replace her son. Despite the playful intimidation, she ended up expressing admiration for Sklenar.

Hugh Jackman later joined the fun, questioning Sklenar with a mock-serious tone: “What the hell are you doing messing with my best buddy’s wife?”

Jackman, like Reynolds and his mother, also became enamoured with Sklenar during the interaction.

The promotional event highlighted the film’s release, which is set to compete with Reynolds' and Jackman’s film, "Deadpool & Wolverine."

 "It Ends With Us," an adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel, opens in theatres on August 9.
