And as it turns out, Hugh has recently stepped back into the shoes of his Greatest Showman character, making a million dreams come true to entertain Ryan and wife Blake Lively‘s children: James, 9, Inez, 7, Betty, 4, and Olin, who was born in 2023.
“My kids watch Greatest Showman all the time,” Ryan revealed during a July 22 SiriusXM interview. “I walked into my house, and I’ve come in, I’ve heard The Greatest Showman playing, and I come around the corner and there are my kids watching the movie, singing along and there’s Hugh acting it out with them like just this big kid.”
The 47-year-old continued, “It was [one of] the most heartbreaking, beautiful things I’d ever seen. I knew I would never be able to top it, so I’ve started a new life in a new country with a secret family just like everyone’s supposed to.”
But of course, Hugh had the last laugh, adding, “By the way, we didn’t rent it, we bought it on your account. Residuals.”
