Everybody knows the name Hugh Jackman as he&rsquo;s the actor who plays the iconic character Wolverine in the X-Men franchise.
While portraying the character he&rsquo;s known for his edgy looks and without forgetting, his muscles as he&rsquo;s arguably one of the fittest-looking X-Men characters out there.
Recently, Wolverine will be making a return to the big screen in the next Deadpool 3 movie with Ryan Reynolds after having his last appearance in the standalone movie, Logan in 2017.

Logan was supposed to be the end of Wolverine as Jackman had chosen to retire the character. Though Logan takes place in the year 2029 and we saw Wolverine die to another clone of himself, it&rsquo;s still unknown how the mutants will be placed into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One thing is for sure is that the dynamic duo will definitely make the audience laugh as Wolverine is normally a pretty serious character and Deadpool is just plain quirky.

But have you ever wondered, how and what Hugh Jackman do to turn into Wolverine?
Bulk Up With Hugh Jackman!

As Deadpool 3 is set to release on 8 November 2024, Jackman is currently in the middle of bulking up to play his role. He&rsquo;s currently 3 months into his 6-month long prep and revealed that he&rsquo;s eating large (but healthy) portions of food as part of his bulking phase.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Bulking. A day in the life. Thank you Chef Mario for helping me stay healthy and properly fed whilst .. Becoming. Wolverine. Again. <a href="https://t.co/bnNAzDiZuR">pic.twitter.com/bnNAzDiZuR</a>
&mdash; Hugh Jackman (@RealHughJackman) <a href="https://twitter.com/RealHughJackman/status/1632714820859428866?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 6, 2023</a></blockquote>
So, what does Jackman, 54, eat in order to become Wolverine? His meal includes:
<ul>
<li>Black Bass with Rice (2,000 calories)</li>
<li>Patagonia Chinook Salmon with Potatoes (2,100 calories)</li>
<li>2x Chicken Burgers with Sweet Potatoes ( ~1,000 calories each)</li>
<li>2x Grass-fed Sirloins with Noodles (1,100 calories each)</li>
</ul>
This means Jackman consumes around 8,300 calories a day so he can bulk into the size of Wolverine. For perspective, a typical bodybuilder will eat around 6,000 calories just to land a spot as a bodybuilder in &lsquo;Magazine Dreams&rsquo;. Meanwhile, an average active man between the age of 31-50 years old is advised to eat between 2,400 and 2,600 calories a day.
In January during &ldquo;The Late Show&rdquo;, Jackman told Stephen Colbert that he was eating up to 6,000 calories a day ahead of time to play Wolverine while he was still on Broadway for &lsquo;The Music Man&rsquo;.

&ldquo;I&rsquo;m building up. I&rsquo;m on about 4,500-5,000 calories at the moment,&rdquo; Jackman said at the time. &ldquo;I wore a heart rate monitor [for &lsquo;The Music Man&rsquo;] because my trainer said, &lsquo;I need to know what I&rsquo;m working with here because I&rsquo;m trying to bulk you up.&rsquo;
"I burned 1,500 calories in the show, eight times a week. So she goes: &lsquo;Oh, you gotta eat.&rsquo; So I was eating 4,500 calories a day, it was not pretty. Now I&rsquo;m just eating and training.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Putting More Effort Than Before
As age catches up, the former &ldquo;Les Mis&eacute;rables&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Greatest Showman&rdquo; star poked fun at Reynolds by posting up a picture of him doing bicep curls to show off his arms. He joked that Reynolds may be younger than him but it&rsquo;s no competition.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Beth Lewis - whatever you&rsquo;re doing it&rsquo;s working! Your arms look incredible.
&mdash; Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) <a href="https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1624161765096292353?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 10, 2023</a></blockquote>
You have to admit, whatever he&rsquo;s going is clearly showing and paying off.
Unlike some people out there, Jackman will not be bulking in muscles with the help of steroids despite how much the character can take a toll on his body. Jackman also said that he&rsquo;s been eating more chicken as he decided to take the old-school way of bulking and even apologised to all the vegans and vegetarians for going so.
Though we still have to wait a while till we get to see Deadpool and Wolverine on the big screen, it&rsquo;s certainly something to be excited about. On the topic of Wolverine dying in the movie Logan, what we know so far is that Deadpool 3 is set to play in the present day, a couple of years before the death of Wolverine. 
So, would you try out this monstrous 8,000-calorie diet? Let us know in the comments!
