One particularly charming moment captured involves an elderly woman who mistakenly approaches Hugh Jackman, believing him to be Ryan Reynolds, to ask him out on a date. The amusing and endearing interaction between the granny and the actors is sure to bring a smile to your face.
Content creator Ross Smith shared this delightful video on social media featuring his grandmother, affectionately known as Gangster Granny.

Ross captioned the post, “Sorry, @blakelively, you have some competition now (you can’t make this stuff up).”

The clip begins with Gangster Granny cheerfully greeting “Hi, Ryan” as she approaches Hugh Jackman. Her grandson promptly corrects her, saying, “No, that’s Hugh.” The Wolverine star, maintaining his characteristic grace, responds, “No, I am not Ryan, but I know Ryan. Do you want me to give him a message?” Ross then adds, “Yeah, she wanted to invite him on a date, but she went to the wrong guy.” Hugh responds with a friendly, “Oh, that’s alright.”
