Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were the stars of the night in New York on July 22 when Deadpool & Wolverine had its world premiere. Ever since Jackman walked the red carpet of the event, fans have been discussing his looks. A photo comparison of Jackman and Dafne Keen from Logan‘s red carpet and this event alone is proof enough that the actor is not showing any signs of aging.
Fans say Keanu Reeves will have to take a bow to this Australian actor in maintaining his looks and physique even at 55. Jackman originally announced retirement after the 2017 movie, but Reynolds probably pestered him back into the role of Wolverine, for which fans can’t thank the Deadpool actor enough.
Hugh Jackman’s Deadpool 3 Red Carpet Appearance Has His Fans In Awe
Dafne Keen has definitely matured into an adult from her 11-year-old appearance in Logan. However, standing beside her on the red carpet of Deadpool & Wolverine, Hugh Jackman doesn’t seem to have aged a bit. Keen and Jackman reunited as X-23 and Wolverine in the upcoming Marvel film, seven years after their stint in Logan.
All eyes were on Ryan Reynolds and Jackman on the red carpet, the two titular forces behind this much-hyped project. Fans particularly took notice of the Real Steel actor’s looks and physique, which impressed many of them. @TheCinesthetic posted two pics of the actor, one from the red carpet event of Logan and another from the red carpet of Deadpool & Wolverine.
One fan was quick to comment that Jackman is Wolverine in real life as he didn’t seem to age at all. Another complimentary comment shared that he was one of those humans, who was just immortal. One fan couldn’t believe that Logan was released seven years ago.
Another fan commented that The Greatest Showman actor aged in reverse. One comment shared how they missed the duo of Keen and Jackman in the movies ever since Logan. Some of the fan comments read:
he's basically real life wolverine. hugh doesn't seem to age at all

Apart from his looks, Jackman did not hold back in any of his stunts in the film, according to Reynolds. During an interview for PEOPLE, Reynolds shared that Jackman excelled in fight scenes with “speed and confidence, the likes of which I have never seen”, despite his age.
