Hugh Jackman’s body and soul are in harmony as he plays Wolverine again.
He may be in his forties, but Hugh Jackman’s up-and-at-’em approach to life suggests there’s no midlife crisis on the radar. In fact, the actor, who turns 42 on October 12, claims he’s in peak physical and spiritual condition and can just about move mountains!
It comes as Hugh morphs once again into brawny, bulked-up Wolverine for the next instalment of the X-Men movies – X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 – due to begin production in early 2011.
He is back at the gym, training hard and sweating it out on jogs that display his bulging muscles. But as these pictures taken last week in Manhattan show, he’s also playing pretty hard – turning his 10-year-old son Oscar into a human dumbbell by effortlessly throwing him over his shoulder in a fireman’s lift.
The Aussie hunk is determined his next outing as Wolverine will see him bigger, stronger and fitter than ever. So how does he get into such jaw-dropping shape? It’s simple, really – exercise and eating.
“For Wolverine I have to eat a lot more, train with a lot heavier weights and get my naturally leaner body a little bigger,” Hugh says. His trainer is Michael Ryan, a bodybuilder who believes in training hard and eating six meals a day. He’s also one of Hugh’s oldest friends.
