Last month, a fan’s favorite Jackman appeared on the CNN channel to discuss his upcoming ‘Wolverine’ movie. During this interview, Jackman revealed the most essential part of his training, which helped him gain those muscles.

He confessed, “I just did it the old-school way. And I tell you, I’ve eaten more chicken…and I’m so sorry to all the vegans and vegetarians and the chickens of the world the karma is not good for me.”

Although Jackman’s diet seems to be highly protein-based, others do not think so.
