Hugh Jackman, 55, shows off impressive Wolverine workout but fans spot big flaw
Hugh Jackman, the 55-year-old actor, has been showing off his "Wolverine workout" on social media, however, fans have all noticed the same thing about his routine.
The Australian-born star, who became a household name after playing Wolverine in the X-Men series, retired from the role in 2017. But now, he's set to make a comeback. Despite previously saying he was done with the character, Hugh is now preparing to reprise his role in Deadpool 3, due out this July. He recently shared a video on Instagram of himself lifting weights in the gym.
In the clip, Hugh could be seen straining while doing bicep curls - his muscles bulging. He captioned the post: "No days off - except for tomorrow. #becomingwolverineagain."

Fitness enthusiasts flooded the comments section, teasing Hugh for neglecting his leg workouts. "Bro skipped legs day," one person commented. Another urged: "Don't skip leg day".
One fan wrote: "Leg day is a thing.... right? Or CGI will fix that?" While another joked about the actor's legs, saying: "We all are commenting about the straws hanging from your shorts. Yes, I am referring to your legs."

But not everyone was critical of Hugh's workout routine. Some fans were impressed, even dubbing him "Huge Jacked Man". One defender said: "This LEGEND is 55 years old and people (most of them never worked out) have the audacity to tell Wolverine to work out more his legs? Come on."
Another added: "Wolverine is back! Great physique sir". A third praised: "Respect this man!!! Here he goes again!!! Building the muscles!!!" Hugh is preparing for his 10th appearance as Wolverine in Deadpool 3. He's previously said it'll take him six months of dedicated training to get fit for the role.
During an interview on CNN and HBO Max's Who's Talking to Chris Wallace? earlier this month, Hugh, who recently finished starring in a Broadway show, explained: "I've learned you can't rush it. I've learned that it takes time."
"So, we have six months from when I finish [Broadway's The Music Man] to when I started filming. And I'm not doing any other work. I'm going to be with my family and train. That's going to be my job for six months." But he revealed he's already got a head start as he added: "I'm really fit right now. That's one thing about eight shows a week being on Broadway singing and dancing, is I'm fit. So, I'm healthy. I have a good place to start."
