Getting in shape to play Wolverine was a full-time job for Hugh Jackman.
On September 5, Hugh Jackman posted an audio clip on Instagram thanking his team for helping him get into shape for “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which features a shirtless scene for the 56-year-old.
He also explained that he put the work in at the gym to achieve his chiseled look for the Marvel movie.
“I’ve had a lot of people who talk to me and ask me questions about how I got into shape. What I did, what I ate, how I trained, how hard is it at your age? Just wanted to take a second and say, yeah I had to turn up, I had to do those deadlifts, I had to eat those meals but I had an incredible team who helped me,” he said.
“There’s no hope in hell I would have gotten there without them.”
He also touched on what went into filming his shirtless scene, saying: “On the day, because I was grumpy, I was not having water the night before, I was eating tilapia and beans for days and how to make that day work best for me, everyone on set was just making it easy.”
He previously told fans that he was eating 8,000 calories a day to bulk up for the film.
