It isn├óΓé¼Γäót easy being Wolverine — especially when you have to gain 25 lbs of muscle to fit into the role!
Director of the next installment of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Darren Aronofsky, is instructing Hugh Jackman to gain 25 lbs of muscle for the upcoming movie.
In response, Jackman has reached out to former wrestler Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) to give him some pointers on how to pack on the pounds.
Said Jackman:
“(Twenty five pounds) is more than I ever have (put on) for the role. It’s not easy for me. Because I’m actually quite long and lean. I had a chat with Dwayne Johnson, who did 25 pounds for his movie (Faster). I rang him up and was like, ‘Okay, tell me what’s going on’.”
Jackman is reportedly eating 6,000 calories a day and is eating mostly chicken, steak, and brown rice.
The only thing we care about in this new movie is that Jackman spends most of it shirtless!!
