During the interview, the actor shared that maintaining a physique does not only require training but also relies heavily on the diet you take. The actor said,
” I assumed it was all about pumping iron but it’s a science, the whole eating thing is a science.” The actor further talked about how difficult it is to maintain a diet and he often tends to complain about it. The actor said, “I complain about it all day long I’m in this thing right now where I’m eating 5000 calories a day, I’m just loading eating and I’m complaining, my wife’s like shut up, I’m gonna kill you.”
Indeed, it takes a lot to get the physique Jackman has acquired for the role. However, to make an impactful return, all the efforts were worth it.

One of the best roles of Hugh Jackman’s career is undoubtedly Wolverine. The actor has played the role for nearly 20 years and has done justice to it. However, after appearing in the 2017 film Logan as the titular character of Wolverine, Jackman announced his retirement from the character.
However, thanks to Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds, he brought back Jackson in his yellow costume. The actor himself was adamant about the end of his character; however, later he realized that the collaboration of Deadpool and Wolverine must be very interesting. Earlier, during an interview, the actor reflected on his comeback as Logan a.k.a Wolverine, and said,
“I really thought I was done. Like, I was at peace with it. I got asked every day, either in interviews, or Ryan Reynolds ringing me, ‘Can we do it again?’ I’m like, ‘No, I’m done.’ Someone said to me, I think it was Deb, she’s my wife, she said, ‘You know, after this, what is it you really wanna do?’ And I was just driving down a day later and I thought, ‘What do I want?’ And it came to me like that, because when I keep thinking of me and Ryan and Deadpool and Wolverine, which are classic comic book rivals, there’s also a dynamic that I’ve never really got to do before as Wolverine.”
Indeed, it will be interesting to witness the chemistry between the two most beloved superheroes, Deadpool and Wolverine. Deadpool 3 is all set to hit theaters on May 3, 2024.
