Taking to Instagram on the weekend, the Australian star shared a video from the gym where he is lifting weights and showing off his bulging biceps.
“No days off — except for tomorrow. 💪🏻#becomingwolverineagain,” the video was captioned.
Jackman is clearly lifting some heavy weights — his face is strained with the effort and veins appear to be practically popping out of his skin.
Fans went wild over the video, praising him for his buff upper body.
“Strong 💪🏻!!!,” one fan wrote, while another joked: “Lots of shirtless scenes, huh?”
“Respect this man!!! Here he goes again!!! Building the muscles!!!” gushed another.
“Dude’s a legend for doing this!” wrote a third.
“THIS is showing love for his fans.
“And sir, you don’t owe us a damn thing so thank you for loving your craft this much.”
One fan jokingly called the star “Huge Jacked Man”.
Unbelievably, however, a few fans took to the comments section to suggest he work on his legs as well as his upper body.
“Don’t skip leg day, please,” one follower wrote.
“Looks like you forgot some leg days!” wrote another.
“Please do squats!” suggested another.
But other fans took issue with armchair Instagram fans telling him his legs needed some work.
“This LEGEND is 55 and people (most of them never worked out) have the audacity to tell Wolverine to work out more on his legs?” one fan grumbled.
“Come on!”
The majority of fans were too busy looking at Jackman’s arms to worry too much about his legs.
“Wolverine is back! Great physique sir,” one fan wrote.
Wow, what biceps 💪 ❤️,” noted another.
Deadpool 3 is due for release later this year.
Bracing start to 2024
It’s been a bracing start to 2024 for the beloved actor, who spent New Year’s Day going for an ice-cold dip in the ocean.
In a video simply captioned “Happy New Year!” a shirtless Jackman rubbed his hands together as he stood on the shoreline, looking incredibly cold.
“Happy New Year everyone, I wish you all every blessing for 2024, no matter what may come — including freezing water,” he said on social media, before running into the surf.
The camera lingered as he ran into the water and yelled, “Uh, oh yeah!”, before immersing himself for a minute or two.
Jackman then ran back towards the camera, again saying, “oh yeah!”, after the invigorating swim.
His fans were as enamoured by this video as they were by the workout video.
“Wolverine is cold-blooded,” one fan said, while another wrote: “That water looks so cold!”
“I’d do it if I can go in looking like me and come out looking like Hugh,” another said.
“Aussies are just built different,” observed a third.
“Oh my, you are a brave man, Hugh.”
For Jackman, 2023 was a tumultuous year, with the Hollywood favourite announcing in September that he and Deborra-Lee Furness, his wife of 27 years, were separating.
In a joint statement, the couple said they had decided to split to pursue “individual growth”.
“We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” the statement read.
“Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”
They added that their family was their highest priority and that they would undertake “this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness”.
