Surprising turn of events, both Jimmy Kimmel and John Mulaney have declined the opportunity to host the Oscars in 2025, leaving fans and organizers in search of a new star to take the stage. While the quest for the perfect host continues, a fresh suggestion has captured the imagination of the public: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
The initial buzz came when Entertainment Weekly shared the news of Kimmel and Mulaney’s rejections on Instagram. The post quickly became a hub for enthusiastic fans to voice their ideal choices. Many expressed a strong preference for Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman to co-host the prestigious event.
Top comments on the Instagram thread reveal a wave of support for the dynamic duo. One fan highlighted their previous on-screen chemistry with a GIF from the Deadpool & Wolverine announcement, fueling the excitement among other fans. Commenters were quick to echo the sentiment, with calls for Reynolds and Jackman to take the helm of the Oscars.
Fans’ Enthusiasm:
@aydiamond7: “Ask Hugh and Ryan please!!”
@inturiator: “Jackman – Reynolds 2025”
@shelleyj9125: “They could ask Ryan Reynolds & Hugh Jackman!”
@melaniebri7: “Everybody knows what they want: Hugh Jackman & Ryan Gosling 😄”
Despite their comedic prowess, it has been a while since actors have hosted the Oscars, an event that celebrates their cinematic achievements. Reynolds and Jackman’s potential co-hosting gig could bring a refreshing balance of humor and gravitas to the ceremony. Their existing rapport, demonstrated in their recent blockbuster, suggests that their on-stage chemistry could be both charismatic and entertaining.
Adding to the appeal, Hugh Jackman’s previous hosting experience could be a significant asset. Known for his memorable performance as the Oscars host in 2009 and his multiple Tony Awards hosting stints, Jackman has proven himself to be a crowd-pleaser. His expertise would undoubtedly complement Reynolds’ sharp wit and humor.
A Reynolds-Jackman partnership would likely promise a lively and memorable Oscars night. Fans can only speculate about potential sketches, perhaps featuring Reynolds’ iconic Deadpool character in comedic scenarios that playfully roast the year’s top films.
If this fan-fueled suggestion becomes a reality, the 2025 Oscars could be one of the most anticipated and entertaining shows in recent memory.
