If there’s one thing we learned from the high-octane antics of Deadpool & Wolverine, it’s that Hugh Jackman’s still rocking it like a fitness fanatic on steroids (metaphorically speaking). This Aussie dynamo isn’t letting his 50s slow him down. His return as Wolverine isn’t just about popping claws—it’s about showing off a physique that’s leaner and meaner than ever before, thanks to some serious dedication. Reports spill that Jackman’s pre-film fitness regime was nothing short of epic. Picture this: a jaw-dropping 6,000 calories a day to bulk up and then a rigorous workout to sculpt that muscle into pure Wolverine awesomeness.

Hugh Jackman's Diet For 'Deadpool and Wolverine'

The Jimmy Fallon show’s official page cheekily posted, "@thehughjackman ate 6,000 calories a day to prep for #DeadpoolAndWolverine! #FallonTonight." In the clip, Jackman spilt the beans about his Wolverine physique, winning cheers as he dished on his heroic diet. Fallon jokingly suggested Jackman’s bod might come from munching “boiled rocks,” but Jackman set the record straight. “It’s a lot of food,” he said, “but not what you’d think. Sure, you could hit 6,000 calories with half a pizza, but I was feasting on lean proteins like chicken and tilapia with veggies.” Despite an extended diet due to a strike, Jackman declared, “It’s worth it,” and the audience agreed with hearty applause.
