Sorry to break it to you, but Ryan Reynolds isn't doing the full 'Bye Bye Bye' dance in 'Deadpool & Wolverine'

• "Deadpool & Wolverine" opens with a fight sequence set to *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye."
• Most of the choreography is performed by a dance double named Nick Pauley, who's credited as Dancepool.
• "If it looks like the person who's dancing doesn't have arthritis, that's him," Reynolds said of Pauley.

Warning: Major spoilers ahead for "Deadpool & Wolverine."

Ryan Reynolds is many things — actor, producer, writer, and entrepreneur . But busting out * NSYNC choreography isn't his strong suit.

" Deadpool & Wolverine ," the third installment of the "Deadpool" franchise, costars Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine. Before the two characters join forces for an epic team-up, Deadpool goes to North Dakota to dig up the grave of Logan, who died in the third stand-alone Wolverine film "Logan." When soldiers from the Time Variance Authority (TVA) catch up to Deadpool, a gory battle ensues and the merc fights them with the help of Logan's adamantium skeleton.

The fight sequence is set to *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye," with Deadpool performing Darrin Henson's iconic choreography while fending off the soldiers.

In reality, Reynolds had a lot of help from dancer Nick Pauley, who's credited as Dancepool.

Reynolds named Pauley as his dance double in a recent "Deadpool & Wolverine" press conference attended by Business Insider.

"A guy named Nick Pauley is the guy that choreographed it," Reynolds said. "I mean, he's doing a lot of the moves that have been established previously by *NSYNC. If it looks like the person who's dancing doesn't have arthritis, that's him."

Reynolds said that he was able to execute some of the moves, but with less ease than the dancer.

"And then there's the moments where there's a bit of a pop and lock, except the pop really pops, like it cracks, and the lock will not unlock," Reynolds said, adding that most of the credit goes to Pauley. "I will hang my hat on his talent there and thank him for his contribution and services."

Following the release of "Deadpool & Wolverine," Pauley shared a photo of himself wearing the Deadpool costume and another image at the film's premiere in New York City.

"Watching the footage back was pretty surreal. I hadn't remembered what I freestyled in between the choreography, and it was hilarious to watch it back and be like 'oh my god now I remember doing that,'" Pauley wrote in his Instagram caption.

"When filming, I felt right at home. @vancityreynolds and @slevydirect - thank you for your encouragement and enthusiasm when bringing me onboard. It gave me a lot of purpose… an amount I haven't felt in a while," he added.
