Hugh Jackman Shares His Training Routine for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

For many fans, Deadpool & Wolverine has been the year’s most eagerly awaited film, uniting Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine—a pairing fans have long wished to see. While we’ve covered this film extensively, there’s more to share.

As previously discussed, it’s now time to delve into Jackman’s personal approach to preparing for the role. In a recent social media post, the actor detailed his training regimen, offering intriguing insights.

Though the post wasn’t lengthy, Jackman shared enough to provide a fascinating update. This is particularly noteworthy given the ongoing discussions and debates about his physical transformation for the film, which we’ve covered in earlier reports here on Comic Basics.

When Jackman appeared in Deadpool & Wolverine, fans were astounded by his physique, especially given his age, which made his transformation even more remarkable. However, some critics argued that Jackman’s portrayal might be promoting an unhealthy standard, sparking a lively debate.

Despite this, Jackman recently shared the following on his Twitter profile:

The post included a voice memo in which the actor detailed his training regimen for the film:

I’ve had a lot of people who talk to me and ask me questions about how I got into shape. What I did, what I ate, how I trained, how hard is it at your age?

I just wanted to take a second and say, yeah I had to turn up, I had to do those deadlifts, I had to eat those meals but I had an incredible team who helped me. There’s no hope in hell I would have gotten there without them.

On the day, because I was grumpy, I was not having water the night before, I was eating tilapia and beans for days and how to make that day work best for me, everyone on set was just making it easy.

Additionally, Jackman disclosed that a makeup artist was brought in to apply a special oil to make his skin glisten during the iconic scene, enhancing both its quality and visual appeal. That’s the main takeaway, but you can listen to the full voice memo for more details.
