Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds Shoey Scandal Exposed
Well hello everyone and welcome back to Mirror 7 News. Today, we're diving into the world of celebrity and a tradition that's uniquely Australian, but with a twist that's got some fans scratching their heads. We're talking about a recent celebration involving Hollywood heavyweights Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. They were marking a victory for the Bonds Flying Roos team, a SailGP competition they co-own and decided to embrace a classic Aussie ritual: the shoey. It's a moment that initially seemed like pure national pride from our beloved Wolverine, but as always, the eagle-eyed internet has found something a little suspicious.
This whole situation kicked off when Ryan Reynolds shared a video of Hugh Jackman introducing him to the shoey tradition. It’s a moment that delighted many fans, seeing the Australian actor share a bit of his culture with his famous Canadian friend. The Bonds Flying Roos had just clinched a win in the SailGP competition and what better way to celebrate than with a drink from a shoe? It's a tradition that’s both celebrated and sometimes debated here in Australia, but when Jackman’s involved, you expect it to be authentic, right?

In one of the photos, you can see Jackman and Reynolds posing with what appears to be the shoey vessel. While it resembles a high-top Converse at first glance, eagle-eyed fans noticed some peculiar details. The shoe itself looks unusually small and more importantly, the sole features a design clearly linked to their upcoming film, Deadpool & Wolverine. This immediately sparked speculation that it wasn't a real shoe at all.
And the plot thickens, because it turns out the "shoe" was actually a ceramic cup, shaped like a shoe, designed for their movie. Purists would argue that a ceramic prop doesn't quite cut it as a genuine shoey, which traditionally involves drinking from your own footwear straight off your foot. Comments flooded in, with fans calling it "Un-Australian" and a "very 'Hollywood' shoey." While the authenticity of the vessel might be up for debate, the beer inside was apparently enjoyed and Jackman certainly seemed to celebrate the win with gusto before passing the ceramic shoe to Reynolds.
Despite the debate over the shoe's authenticity, this little stunt has certainly managed to draw more attention to the Bonds Flying Roos and their SailGP journey. It's part of a broader push to highlight the team, with Jackman and Reynolds even announcing an upcoming Disney+ series about them, much like Ryan Reynolds' successful "Welcome to Wrexham" and Netflix's "Formula 1: Drive to Survive." So, while the shoey itself might have been a prop, their support for Australian sport is clearly genuine. Perhaps we can forgive the slightly less-than-traditional vessel for the sake of promoting the team and the sport they clearly love. Stay with Mirror 7 News for all updates as they happen.
