‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Star Hugh Jackman Shows He’s Still in Wolverine Shape on Bondi Beach
Hugh Jackman is back in his hometown, and he’s spending his days where Sydney locals usually do: at the beach. He and Sutton Foster arrived at Sydney Airport this week, where photographers caught them holding hands and laughing on their first trip to Australia as a couple. Per The Nightly, it was also the first time Jackman had been spotted in Australia since 2024.
After landing, they reportedly went to Jackman’s North Bondi penthouse. It went to Jackman in his divorce settlement with Deborra-Lee Furness, along with his New York City home, and he reportedly plans to keep it as his long-term Australian base.
Since then, a new set of beach photos has fans talking about how fit the ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ star looks at 58. One shot shows him running shirtless along the shoreline in dark shorts. He also went for a morning swim in the ocean on Wednesday, November 11, at Bondi Beach in Sydney, wearing a pair of navy swim trunks.
He didn’t train alone. After his swim, Jackman changed into a black and blue sleeveless shirt and met up with his longtime friend and trainer, Michael Ryan. Later that day, he and Foster were seen going for a walk together. Ryan has been a regular part of the trip. He joined Jackman in the water earlier in the week and lounged on the sand with the couple.

The couple’s first big outing came a day earlier. On Tuesday, November 10, they spent a beach day at Bondi. Jackman went shirtless and swam in and out of the water while Foster, 51, joined him on the sand, and the two threw a flying disc back and forth. Foster wore a T-shirt and biker shorts for the whole day.
The day began with exercise. According to The Nightly, they worked out at North Bondi Surf Club that morning and then walked the Bondi to Bronte coastal path. Jackman carried a tote bag from Gertrude & Alice Café Bookstore, and the pair walked hand in hand along the esplanade.

The two go back a long way. Both are Tony Award winners, and they co-starred in the Broadway revival of ‘The Music Man’ from December 2021 to January 2023 after being friends since the early 2000s. Jackman and Furness announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage, and Foster and screenwriter Ted Griffin ended their marriage in 2024.

They were first photographed holding hands in Los Angeles in January 2025. In October 2025, they made their red carpet debut together at the Los Angeles premiere of Jackman’s ‘Song Sung Blue’. They welcomed 2026 with a beach getaway in Costa Rica, attended the New York premiere of ‘The Sheep Detectives’ in April, and appeared together at this year’s Met Gala.
Just before the trip, the couple was on a very different kind of outing. On November 7, they attended the University of Michigan’s annual football game against Michigan State in Ann Arbor. Reactions online have been mixed. Some fans questioned the couple’s choice to stay at the former marital home, while others were happy to see them so relaxed.
There may be a fresh start on the way. A source told Now To Love that the trip gave Jackman a chance to sell Foster on Australia and that the pair are looking for a place of their own. Neither actor has publicly commented on these reports.

None of this is new for Jackman. He was born in Sydney, and as a child he spent a lot of time at the beach. Photographers have caught him swimming at Bondi for years. In 2016, he was seen on a morning swim there with a friend, and in 2017, he was photographed running out of the water during a workout.
His fitness has long been linked to his best-known role. Jackman first played Wolverine in the 2000s ‘ X-Men’ and has gone on to star as the mutant in 9 more films, including ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’. Judging by this week’s photos, he still trains like he’s ready for another one.
Do you think Hugh Jackman is still in good enough shape to play Wolverine again?
