Hugh Jackman has said he never used drugs to gain weight for his superhero roles. Together with his close buddy, actor Ryan Reynolds, he will reprise his role as Logan, also known as Wolverine, in the upcoming superhero movie Deadpool 3. The actor is now performing on Broadway for The Music Man; on January 15, 2023, he will give his final performance before having to get back in shape for Wolverine.
In the comic book adaption X-Men (2000), the actor made his breakthrough in Hollywood playing Logan alongside co-stars Patrick Stewart, James Marsden, Famke Janssen, and Ian McKellen. Since then, Hugh has portrayed Wolverine in the films X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men: First Class, The Wolverine, X-Men: Days Of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, and Logan (2017).
The actor addressed allegations that he used steroids to turn into the role in a new interview on HBO’s chat show Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace. Over the years, many individuals have pondered the journalist’s question to him: “Has he juiced? Hugh answered, “No, I adore what I do. I also adore Wolverine. I should use caution in what I write here, but I’ve been told anecdotally what the consequences of that are. I said, “I don’t enjoy it that much,” in response. So no, I just went the traditional route. I’m sorry to all the vegans, vegetarians, and chickens in the world since I’ve eaten more chickens than I should have.
