A celebrity’s rite of passage has become Hot Ones, the insanely popular talk show renowned for its ever-spicier chicken wing challenge. Some people welcome the intense experience, but others—like Ryan Reynolds, the star of Deadpool—have purposefully avoided host Sean Evans and his “deadly” wings for years.
The Predestined Meeting
When Reynolds and co-star Hugh Jackman agreed to accept the Hot Ones challenge, their evasive strategies eventually came to an end. Before the interview, Evans shared a hilarious anecdote: “I was looking for the bathroom when I heard someone say, ‘I’ve been avoiding this guy for years!'” When I glanced back, Ryan Reynolds was grinning broadly as he walked in my direction.”
The Hollywood stars and the fiery wings were about to engage in an epic combat.
Accepting the Burn
Reynolds and Jackman valiantly persevered through the growing heat, even touching the famed Da Bomb sauce. The players had to put up with a lot—screaming, sniffling, perspiring, and even crying. To make a lighthearted comment, Reynolds said he would “reenact the entire ordeal with crude sock puppets for my therapist.”
Joy in Winning
Even after the particularly “burning” parts, both actors were proud of themselves for overcoming the obstacle. Reynolds said, “I’m very happy that I completed it. On camera, having a nervous breakdown was strangely entertaining. Jackman concurred, stating, “I’m quite happy that I did that. I was somewhat anxious.”
Reactions from Unforgettable Celebrities
Not just Reynolds and Jackman had noteworthy responses on Hot Ones. “Who made this, and have they ever been punched?” was a lighthearted remark asked by Viola Davis in her 2022 interview, which host Sean Evans remembered with fondness.
Sizzling Ones: Not Just an Interview
Hot Ones has developed into a venue for celebrities to share their tales as well as to show off their bravery and sense of humor in the face of intense heat. The “spicy” moments from Hot Ones have left a lasting impression on both the artists and their fans.
Hot Ones consistently produces amusing and thought-provoking interviews, demonstrating that often the most memorable moments occur when things get a little heated. Examples of this include Ryan Reynolds’ fun avoidance techniques and Viola Davis’s perceptive questioning.
