Mega-exhausting!
Hugh Jackman ate 6,000 calories a day
For his return as the comic hero, Hugh Jackman ate 6000 calories a day for a while. He also did intensive strength training, as the 55-year-old explained. However, this was no longer easy for him at his age.
"Did I find it difficult? Yes, it was harder than ever before," the Australian told the German Press Agency. "Part of me complained about it, another part of me loved it. I like the rigor. I like the discipline it brings. It's actually good for my head."
Legendary role
Jackman has returned to his legendary role as the comic book hero for "Deadpool & Wolverine" - which opens in cinemas on Wednesday.
"Good thing"
He has embodied the Marvel character Wolverine in the "X-Men" films since 2000. Now he is starring alongside Ryan Reynolds in the only Marvel blockbuster of the year.
As the muscular protagonist with legendary sideburns, Jackman became a cult figure in the 'X-Men' series.
He wanted to return to his very fit form for his new film. "Basically, when you're 55 years old, it's a good thing to say you need to be as healthy, fit and strong as possible," said Jackman.
During preparations, did he ever feel like he didn't want to do the hard training anymore? "I'm an actor," Jackman joked. "I complain all the time."
