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.
