Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have had a lot to celebrate in recent months, both professionally and personally, and they've had their A-list friends to lean on as well.

One of their most prominent, however, had a clever way to show his encouragement for them, specifically Ryan, in his latest social media post.

Hugh Jackman, one of the Deadpool star's closest celebrity friends and co-stars, shared a photograph posing with a graphic portrait of Ryan that he had colored in himself.

Hugh shared an illustration of Ryan he had colored in

The illustration featured him making a heart with his hands against a prominent background of roses, with the caption beside it reading: "Colorful Fantasies with a Sexy Charmer."

The Wolverine star didn't look too pleased with his work in the photograph, although that was definitely for comedic intent given their history on social media of constant good-natured digs at each other.
