I damaged my voice playing Wolverine,” said the ‘Logan’ star, who will return in ‘Deadpool 3.’

The actor mentions it Wolverine’s growls affected his voicethat would have gone unnoticed, but Hugh Jackman working in theater and in several musical works, his performance has not been the same over the years: “My falsetto is not as strong as it used to be, and I attribute this directly to some of the i growls and screams that I made”.

And for example, “Les Miserables” or “The Greatest Showman” were the musicals where her vocal ability was affected.
