Without a doubt, one of the aspects that fans of ‘Deadpool 3’ are most excited about is the involvement of Hugh Jackman in the role of Wolverine.
It had been 7 years since the actor donned the claws of the famous Marvel mutant and now fans will be able to see him in the role again.
The truth is that the return to the yellow suit was not as easy as some imagined. In particular, he found one part of his physical transformation “disturbing”.
Hugh Jackman reveals the hardest part of his Wolverine transformation
In an interview with People published in late May 2024, the actor talked about what it was like to reprise his iconic role.
One of the areas he mentioned was the intense physical transformation he underwent to bring Wolverine back to life: “When I got back into it, it was a lot of fun and I was excited. My body was a little sore at first, but I was glad my body was still responding. And I realized how good it is for your brain.”
Hugh Jackman also revealed that the “hardest part” of getting back in shape was eating: “I have to eat a lot. For me, because my body type is naturally thin, getting to that size, that’s the hardest part. That’s what bothers me.”
In the same conversation, Ryan Reynolds, her co-star, added that her diet consisted of five to six meals a day, “which sounds incredible to some people, but it’s not the kind of food you would necessarily enjoy.”

As Reynolds reported, Jackman’s diet was demanding. In all of those “five or six” meals a day, the actor was eating about 8,000 calories a day, Variety reported in March 2023.
At the time, the 55-year-old actor took to his Twitter account to share a photo of what those daily meals looked like: sea bass, Patagonian salmon, two chicken burgers and grass-fed beef.
Through his social networks, Hugh Jackman documented the painstaking process of transforming into Wolverine.
