The surprising announcement this week revealed that both actors had played their superhero roles in Marvel’s X-Men franchise for 16 years and 228 days each - Stewart as Professor Xavier, and Jackman as Wolverine.
Jackman and Stewart co-starred in the first X-Men movie in 2000, and then returned again years later on-screen in 2017’s “Logan.”
The actors will now be featured in the next edition of the The Guinness World Records.
