Hugh Jackman Shares Shirtless Photo, Details How He Got Ripped for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

Hugh Jackman is among the most disciplined actors when it comes to his fitness. To flex on us, literally, the Deadpool & Wolverine star posted a mirror selfie on Instagram, where he took us through his fitness journey

"I've had a lot of people talk to me or ask me questions about how I got into shape and what I did, what I ate, how I trained, what I did, how hard is it at your age and all of these things. And honestly, I just wanted to take a second to say, 'Yeah, I had to turn up and I had to, yep, I had to do those deadlifts and I had to eat those meals, but I had an incredible team that helped me," he said in the post below.

Jackman thanked two of his key trainers, Beth Lewis and Michael Ryan, pointing out Lewis as a fitness expert who worked with him on multiple projects pre-Deadpool.

"I am in better shape, and when I say 'shape,' what I mean is physical health, my knees, my shoulders that have bothered me for years—gone. She's helped me get through this, get the results I needed, but feeling fantastic," said Jackman.

Jackman also shouted out his dietitians, who prepared meals for him well over a year for the actor to bulk up. In addition, Jackman's makeup artist, assistant director, and producing team were credited with helping him get through a "grumpy" mood caused by dehydration and "eating tilapia and beans for days."

"It's really important to me that I acknowledge those people who have spent a lifetime doing what they do," Jackman said.

He concluded, "They're at the top of their game. They're the best in the world and I feel so privileged to have them in my corner, and I would not have achieved that result without them. So, thanks."

It seems like the entire Deadpool & Wolverine cast has been in a state of gratitude; also sharing their fitness journey for their cameo in the film was Jennifer Garner, who had intense workouts similar to Jackman.
