“He Is Definitely on Gear”: Aged 54, Hugh Jackman’s Training Regimen for Deadpool vs Wolverine Leaves Bodybuilding World Doubtful

Ever since it was announced that Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine for the next Deadpool movie, fans have barely kept their cool. From wild theories to the possibility of bringing back the character (since Wolverine died in the last film), anticipation has been rife. Crucial to the role was the need for Jackman to develop an incredibly ripped physique. At 54, Hugh Jackman is pulling all strings inside the gym to get back into that shape. However, fans have their doubts regarding his bodybuilding prowess.

In a clip posted by YouTuber Luke Sherran, he talks about Hugh Jackman’s commitment to fit the role. The latter’s social media is filled with his diet and training regimen, and the actor also believes it will take six months for him to get his form back. But despite all that, fans have taken to the comments to express their bone of discontent.

Hugh Jackman’s unbelievably ripped physique raises eyebrows

Hugh Jackman last played the fan-favorite, angry, claw-wielding, adamantium-laden comic character in the 2017 film Logan. The movie was a box office success, but it also disappointed a legion of fans who learned that it would be the last time Jackman would appear on screen as Wolverine. So, when Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman announced his comeback, there was naturally going to be a deluge of happy posts.

But Hugh Jackman also set the standard for peak physique for many actors, when he first donned the role in X-Men in 2000. Ever since, Wolverine and a jacked body have been synonymous. After the announcement was made, Jackman has been doing the whole gamut of going on talk shows and talking about his training regimen, diet, types of workouts, etc.—all for this role. It created a huge buzz all over the media, including veteran UFC commentator Joe Rogan.

The news became so popular that even popular podcaster Joe Rogan judged the authenticity of his training-based physique without any performance-enhancing drug. Although Rogan was convinced of his natural physique then, fans are still unable to make up their minds. This has also been triggered by how quickly Jackman is getting back in shape.

The math behind getting in shape so quickly doesn’t sit very well with fans

The video covered Hugh Jackman’s healing process by skinny dipping in cold ocean water to his current diet comprising 8000 calories.

While the workout updates by Jackman have been quite convincing, a handful of fans feel that the muscle gains are not unaided.

“Yeah, he is definitely on gear”

“Don’t forget the magic apple juice”

“I’d be impressed if he made Instagram posts of his steroid regimen”

This user drew insights from the many conflicting remarks. Yet, as a fan, they rounded up their comment with a encouraging “You do you” element.

“Hugh: it takes time. also Hugh: it takes 6 months. yeah with that juice! I ain’t mad though. you do you, Hugh!”

“The human body doesn’t do what he’s making it do without some test. Period”

“Damn Hugh’s putting it into a whole different gear”

One thing is for sure that this hasn’t diminished the fan demands for seeing him on screen one more time to play the character he made so beloved. As per reports, Deadpool 3 releases in 2024. Catch Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in action in theatres then.
