In a new interview, Ryan was asked about the potential theories and if he’d want to work with his wife one day. He had quite the comical answer in the end…he can’t afford to hire her!

Ryan was asked, “What would it mean to work with your best friend Blake?”

“She’s not half the friend that Hugh is,” Ryan joked, citing his friendship with co-star Hugh Jackman, who portrays Wolverine.
