Whenever Hugh Jackman jump into the role of Wolverine, the guy gets completely ripped! It’s like he gets better and better shape every time he plays the character, and with Deadpool 3 coming, he’s going through that crazy process of getting into superhero form.
As most people call the film Deadpool 3Jackman is calling him Wolverine 10. Regardless of what you call him, Jackman follows a diet that will lead him to his goal of 6,000 calories a day! He’s working his way up to this and is currently on about 4,500 calories a day! During an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbertthe actor said:
“That’s 6,000 calories. About 6,000 calories a day. I think I’m stacking right now, at about 4,000-5,000 calories. I was wearing a heart rate monitor like Harold Hill. So, my trainer said I need to know what I’m working with here, because I’m trying to gain mass. So, during the show, I burn 1,500 calories, eight times a week. He said, you have to eat!
I can’t even imagine eating so much food! That’s a lot of food! There has been a lot of talk lately about steroid use with actors loading up for film roles and in a separate interview with Who is talking to Chris Wallace (via Variety), Jackman was asked whether or not he’d ever been “juice” or taken steroids to improve his body while preparing to play Wolverine, and this was his response:
“No, I love my job. And I love Wolverine. I have to be careful what I say here but I have been told anecdotally what the side effects of this are. And I was like, ‘I don’t like it that much.’ So no, I did it the old fashioned way. And I tell you, I’ve eaten more chickens – I’m so sorry to all the vegans, vegetarians and chickens in the world. Literally, karma is not good for me. If the deity has anything to do with chickens, I’m in trouble.
Good for him! I love that Jackman gets fit with good old fashion diet and exercise. It’s pretty amazing to see how he was able to gain mass like that! The guy is definitely committed to the role and super disciplined while working his ass off.
