It seems like everyone is out to troll Hugh Jackman. Ryan Reynolds may have finally taken a break from doing so but Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi has promptly taken over.

Jackman recently shared a video of himself arriving in Auckland, New Zealand in preparation for his one-man stage show The Man. The Music. The Show. Waititi immediately took notice and pointed out that the video was a fake because the Missing Link star wouldn't be allowed into the country. Take a look at his tweet below.

"This is obviously a green screen shot. They wouldn't let you through immigration," Waititi wrote.

Of course, it's all just some good-natured joking but we can't help but wonder what Reynolds thinks about Waititi trolling his best frenemy.

Jackman might be the butt of most jokes but the Greatest Showman actor is taking it all in stride. After all, he's already a Guinness World Record title holder. The Australian actor and his Logan co-star Patrick Stewart are currently the record holders for Longest Career as a live-action Marvel superhero spanning 16 years and 228 days. Both Jackman and Stewart first appeared in 2000's X-Men and retired after 2017's Logan.

Waititi himself is on a career-high as well. The What We Do In The Shadows co-director is set to helm one of the episodes of the highly anticipated Star Wars series The Mandalorian. He is currently working on the dark comedy Jojo Rabbit with Avengers: Endgame actress Scarlett Johansson.
