In an interview with Jackman for the duo’s June PEOPLE cover story, Reynolds told his costar, "Shawn Levy actually told me something that stuck with me forever, that people tend to only talk about their wins. But I think it's really important for your kids in particular to know that you lose.” “You don't get what you want all the time. Something you worked on really hard didn't work,” Reynolds continued. “You feel like you said something embarrassing today, you did something that didn't sit right with you. It's just so important that [your kids] see that and they don't just hear, 'Oh Dad nailed it.' Because you lose so much more than you win." “It's really stuck with me,” he added. Deadpool & Wolverine is in theaters on July 26.
