Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal have hilariously trolled Ryan Reynolds with a Christmas jumper prank

Ryan Reynolds has been pranked by his Hollywood chums.

The actor, 42, posted a snap of himself wearing an ornate Christmas jumper, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman.

They said “it was a sweater party”, he wrote.

His A-list friends looked as though they could not stop laughing, while Reynolds kept a straight face, at what looked like a festive party.

The Green Lantern and Deadpool star, who is married to Blake Lively, is known for his funny Instagram posts.

Recent posts include a quip about meeting Sir Paul McCartney.

Reynolds shared a picture on himself with the Beatles star – and joked that it was probably a lifetime highlight for Sir Paul.

“Have you ever had a dream to meet someone so badly and somehow it comes true?

“You’re welcome, Paul,” he wrote.
