Culture News ‘I don’t love my job enough to do this’: Wolverine shuts down rumors about his muscle gain

Wolverine’s plastic can be the envy and is probably a model of a successful fitness. However, it will be necessary to display the same desire and the same rigor as Hugh Jackman to display it on all the roofs since the Australian actor indicates that he did it “the old fashioned way”.
Summary
“I just did it the old fashioned way” One last dance for Logan and his claws?
“I just did it the old fashioned way”
Known for many roles in the cinema, Hugh Jackman is above all glued to the image of Wolverine: a superhero whose claws and skeleton are covered by the indestructible metal that is adamantium. He is notably showing on the big screen with the various X-Men films, an adaptation of Stan Lee’s comic in which several mutants are under-educated by Professor Xavier. It’s still Hugh Jackman who embodies the adult version of the superhero: a role for which it takes more than showing the muscles.
On this subject, the Australian actor specifies that he has never cheated to gain muscle mass. It is in an interview granted to Chris Wallace of CNN that he specifies that he does not take steroids:
No, I like my job. And I love Wolverine. I have to be careful what I say here, but I had been told anecdotally what the side effects of this were. And I said to myself: “I don’t like my job that much”. So no, I just did it the old fashioned way. And I’m telling you, I ate more chickens – I’m so sorry for all vegans and vegetarians and chickens in the world. Karma is literally not good for me. If divinity has anything to do with chickens, I’m in trouble.
Further proof that Hugh Jackman has invested himself body and soul in his role as Wolverine.
A last dance for Logan and his claws?
On this subject, it was believed that Hugh Jackman had definitely put away Wolverine’s claws after the movie Logan (2017). A departure that has never really been explained by the Australian actor. Nevertheless, one can assume a certain weariness for the person concerned after 17 years of playing the role and all that goes with it, in particular a very regulated diet. In addition, we can also read that he would have been advised to leave the stage before seeing a weariness in him but also in the fans.
In any case, Hugh Jackman finally did not hang up his claws and even filed them. It is in a humorous video shot by Ryan Reynolds (one of his great friends in the middle) that he announces his return for the third opus of Deadpool 3.
Enough to extend his experience as Wolverine by 7 years since the film is expected on September 6, 2024 in cinemas. We also know that it will be Shawn Levy behind the camera. The director knows the two actors well since they have already collaborated together on the occasion of Steel Rising, Free Guy or even Adam through time.
