‘Different Than Just…’: Deadpool & Wolverine Director Shawn Levy Recalls Unforgettable Experience Of Watching NFL Game With Taylor Swift

As a die-hard fan of Shawn Levy’s work and someone who admires his journey in the film industry, I can only imagine how surreal it must have been for him to watch an NFL game alongside global superstar Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Hugh Jackman.


Shawn Levy, the renowned director at 56 years old and responsible for directing recent productions like Deadpool and Wolverine, reminisces about a particular NFL game viewing experience he shared with the internationally famed Taylor Swift on October 1, 2023.

Shawn Levy on watching the NFL game with Taylor Swift

According to People magazine, on Monday, July 22, at the New York City premiere of their new film, Levy shared with the publication that he once watched a Kansas City Chiefs football game alongside Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Hugh Jackman.

The director shared with the media outlet, “Watching a football game with Taylor makes for a unique experience compared to just watching one. I didn’t anticipate the increased recognition that came about during that game.”

As an obsessed fan, I can’t help but cherish every detail of that unforgettable football game. The director echoed my sentiments, assuring us that despite the countless matches he’s witnessed, none will ever erase the memories of that remarkable event from his mind.

During that period, Shawn Levy, the director of Night at the Museum, posted some photos on social media with Swift, Reynolds, Lively, and Jackman. On Instagram, he captioned one story as, “I’ve ruined all future Sunday nights.”

In a past chat with the press, Shawn discussed the close bond between the two main actors in his forthcoming film.

Levy expressed his gratitude towards Jackman, whom he had the pleasure of working with for the first time while directing him in “Real Steel” back in 2011.

I recall the director mentioning that eleven years ago, Jackman expressed his strong bond of friendship with Reynolds. He shared that if they ever crossed paths with Levy, their collaboration would be unstoppable once more.

During a conversation about his connection with Reynolds, Levy shared that he hasn’t forged a really deep friendship since his college days.

The director of Free Guy shared that men often have a limited friend circle, yet remarkably, these two actors are the ones with whom he engages in deep conversations about life.

The three of them refer to themselves as “husbands, guys, and dads” when they gather together. Working together recently has brought them great joy.

Deadpool & Wolverine is set to hit theaters on July 26.
