Hugh Jackman Reveals the Hardest Part About Playing Wolverine Again:
Jackman recently sat down with his Marvel co-star, Ryan Reynolds, for a conversation through People. During the chat, Reynolds praised Jackman’s dedication, and Jackman revealed the hardest part about getting back to his Wolverine body.
“Just the sheer relentlessness that you dedicated yourself towards stunts, choreography,” Reynolds said. “It was the first time I’d ever seen how invaluable a background in song and dance is when you are doing an action movie … You hit your marks in those fight scenes with speed and confidence, the likes of which I have never seen.”
“I don’t care if you were 25, 35, 45 or 55. It was lightning … Watching you do what just looked like a clinic on stunt work was one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen in my life,” he added.
“When I came back to it, it was really fun and I was thrilled,” Jackman explained. “My body was a little sore at the beginning, but I was thrilled that my body was still responding. And I realized how good it is for your brain.”
“The hardest bit…[was] the food,” Jackman added. “I have to eat a lot. For me, for my body type, I’m naturally skinny. To get the size on, that’s the hardest bit. That’s the bit that does my head in.”
“Yeah, the five, six meals a day, which sounds great to some people,” Reynolds agreed. “I’m sure they’re like, ‘Well, that sounds great.’ But it’s not like the type of food that you would really necessarily enjoy.”
