Hugh Jackman Shows He’s the Real-Life Wolverine With an Impressive Display of Strength

Hugh Jackman recently reprised his role as Wolverine in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Having portrayed the character for 24 years, Jackman initially planned to retire after 2017’s “Logan,” where Wolverine met his end.

However, the opportunity to team up with Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool proved too enticing, prompting his return. Now at 55, some fans are concerned that Jackman may not be able to deliver the same level of performance as he did in his younger years.

We’ve already covered Hugh Jackman’s impressive workout routine and diet. Over the past year and a half, he’s been updating fans on his training for the movie using the hashtag #BecomingWolverineAgain. He’s also been engaging in a playful “arms race” with co-star Ryan Reynolds to see who can get in the best shape.

It turns out Jackman isn’t just putting on a show for the film. At a recent red carpet event, he demonstrated his superhuman strength by lifting both a reporter and his ex-wife simultaneously—no small feat.

For even more impressive displays of his strength, be sure to check out the actor’s social media—there are some real gems there.

At 55, Jackman shows no signs of slowing down, and it’s easy to imagine him playing Wolverine well into his 90s. While both Jackman and Cavill have faced criticism for allegedly promoting unhealthy diets and physiques, they continue to maintain rigorous training regimes for their roles.
