There’s no denying Katie Couric has a knack for comedy. Sure, she’s known for delivering the news with poise and professionalism, but she also knows how to keep things light and fun. Recently, the 62-year-old journalist gave fans a laugh when she playfully mistook Ryan Reynolds for his friendly rival, Hugh Jackman.

Sharing a snapshot from the A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s Gala, Katie captioned the photo, “Oh yeah. And this happened. I just love @thehughjackman.” The picture featured the 43-year-old Deadpool star, but Katie’s caption made it seem like she thought it was Hugh. It’s moments like this that remind us why we adore Katie—not only for her sharp mind but also for her quick wit.

Ryan’s caption, “These f–king a–holes,” accompanied a photo of Hugh and Jake Gyllenhaal laughing while Ryan looks utterly unamused. Even his wife, Blake Lively, couldn’t resist giving the post a thumbs-up. But beneath all the teasing, it’s clear these two have a deep respect and affection for one another.

A Look Back at Their Playful Past

Earlier this year, Hugh shared a side-by-side photo of himself and Ryan as children. With a simple caption, “Brother,” Hugh showcased their longstanding friendship. Of course, Ryan couldn’t resist adding his own twist, responding on Twitter with, “I had no idea you were such a gorgeous kid. Oh, that’s me.” And he wasn’t done there.
