The 47-year-old Canadian actor, who recently revealed the co-star he argued with on set of Deadpool & Wolverine, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, commemorating the milestone with a series of behind-the-scenes snaps from the superhero film.

He continued: “The way #DeadpoolAndWolverine has captured the moment is hard to process. Feels a bit like it’s happening to someone else. Either way, making these movies has been more fun than anyone has a right to have. I can’t help but skip down memory lane a bit.”
