Hugh Jackman And Jim Carrey Impersonate Each Other's Famous Roles, With Hilarious Results

Smokin! Watch Hugh Jackman's Perfect Impersonation Of The Mask (Before Carrey Returns Fire)

Australian movie star Hugh Jackman has sparked a friendly social media rivalry with Jim Carrey after uploading a perfect impersonation of the title character from The Mask.

Mimicking Carrey with pinpoint precision, Jackman delivers the famous 'Smokin!' line -- complete with Carrey Face -- into the camera before uploading it online and tagging Carrey.

#JimCarrey mate trying my best to do justice! Clearly, I should stay in my own lane.

But Carrey soon returned fire with an epic barb of his own -- holding up cutlery between his fingers to "make a meal out of" Jackman's famous turn as Wolverine.

Complete with epic Wolverine hair, and a face only Carrey could pull off.

Which Australian should next enter a social media battle with an overseas star?

Eric Bana, obviously.
