Three days ago,Hugh Jackmandecided to share hisimpersonationofJim Carrey’sThe Maskin anInstagram videothat quickly went viral. The star of that1994 classichas now responded, sparking one very hilarious social media war. Yes, as you will see in the photo below,Jim CarreyisThe Wolverine, and he is threatening his impersonation opponent with some deadly cutlery.
It’sThe WolverineVs.The Maskin what will surely be remembered as a showdown for the ages (well, in actuality you’ll probably forget about it before you get home from work tonight). They both wearyellow costumes, they are both impervious to injury, and they’re both flamboyant and loud superheroes! And they obviously like taking the piss out of one another, using the world as their platform. Though, this is more on the funny side. Don’t expect this jovialbeefto break out in the streets of Los Angeles with guns and claws blazing.
Jim Carreypicked up the gauntlet thrown down byHugh Jackmanearlier this morning. The 53-year-old proved he still knows how to own juvenile humor better than most, as he posed for anX-Menselfie. The Canadian whisked his hair into the trademark Logan style, a hairdo he actually sported first in 1995’s sequelAce Ventura: When Nature Calls, a full five years before anyone even knewHugh Jackman. He then tightened his neck muscles to give his best snarl. Using cutlery from his latest meal, he even brandished Wolverine’s iconic claw, with a corkscrew added in for good measure. He boldly stated the following in response to the Australian legend’s mocking.
“Nice move @RealHughJackman Now watch me make a meal out of your biggest role”

He was testing out the new Dubsmash lip-syncing app, which allowed theX-Menstar to record a brief clip of himself as he uttered Stanley Ipkiss’s signature quote, ‘Smoking’!' Its quite clear that the actor is having a ball with this new app. Interest in the app has peaked sinceThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonfirst introduced it to a wider audience. If you check out hisInstagramaccount, you’ll see that he has another short video where he uses the app to impersonateKaty Perry, singing Teenage Dream.
