Hugh Jackman is a victor in his recent public "feud" with fellow actor Ryan Reynolds.
The latest spat between the "Wolverine" and "Deadpool" stars came as a means for charity through Sam’s Club when the pair entered into a competition with one another to sell the most products from their personal brands – Aviation Gin for Reynolds and Laughing Man Coffee for Jackman.
The terms of the deal were simple: Whoever sold the most over the course of a month would win the friendly competition and donations to the respective foundations they each were supporting would be matched.
Reynolds, 44, was playing the SickKids Foundation while Jackman, 52, was playing for his own charity, the Laughing Man Foundation.

The competition was also available for fans to participate in, no purchase necessary, and all they had to do was cast their vote for each celebrity online.
After Jackman tasted victory, he struggled to compose himself while accepting his win from Sam’s Club CEO Kathryn McLay and used the moment to take a jab at Reynolds who also learned his fate when Jackman placed to call to a blatantly misspelled "Bryan."

"You lost the Sam’s Club thing. I won," Jackman declared, adding, "Everyone hates you. Bye!"
