In a recent episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“, Hollywood heavyweights Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman stirred the pot with their biting commentary on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Known for their comedic prowess, the duo didn’t shy away from making pointed remarks that sharply contrasted with the public image Harry and Meghan have meticulously crafted over the years.
During a segment where the actors had to guess the host of a fictional show, they seized the moment to take a jab at the couple.
When presented with a description that echoed the Sussexes’ narrative, Reynolds wasted no time.
“That sounds like a reality show where two people constantly complain about their privileged lives while demanding privacy,” he quipped, eliciting laughter from the audience.
Jackman chimed in, adding, “It’s like a modern-day fairy tale where the prince and princess are more interested in counting their money than saving the kingdom.” The banter was playful yet sharp, showcasing their ability to blend humor with social commentary.
Reynolds, ever the provocateur, didn’t hold back.
He likened Harry and Meghan’s quest for attention to a fading reality TV series that stubbornly keeps getting renewed, despite dwindling viewership.
“They’re like a dying reality show that keeps getting renewed because the producers think people are still watching,” he joked, further igniting the crowd’s laughter.
Jackman, typically more reserved, also weighed in on the controversy.
“It’s a shame to see such a privileged couple constantly playing the victim,” he remarked.
His words struck a chord, emphasizing the missed opportunities for meaningful change that the couple could champion instead of focusing on their own struggles.
The fallout from their comments has been swift.
Supporters of Harry and Meghan are up in arms, accusing Reynolds and Jackman of bullying and harassment.
On the flip side, many viewers have applauded the actors for their candidness, appreciating their willingness to address what some perceive as hypocrisy from the Sussexes.
This isn’t the first time Harry and Meghan have found themselves at the center of a media storm.
The couple has faced a barrage of criticism, ranging from allegations of hypocrisy to claims of exploitation.
