Hugh Jackman's extra long Wolverine diet

Hugh Jackman got into amazing shape for Wolverine and Deadpool, but he had to eat a surprising amount of food to build his physique.

He ate around 6 meals per day, which typically came to around 6,000 calories.

Although eating 6,000 calories sounds like fun, it’s not from foods like donuts and pizza…

Most of his meals were made up of chicken & rice, and tilapia & beans, tilapia and beans.

Hugh had to stick to the diet for 6 months before filming, and continued dieting during filming to look as ripped as possible for the shirtless scene. He decided to save this scene for end of filming, unaware of the upcoming writers strikes.

As a result he had to continue his high calorie diet of tilapia and beans for an extra 3 months longer than planned!

Has anyone tried eating 6, 000 calories?

[KingGrimXX]

He’s gonna be doing this till he’s 90 😂🤣😂🤣

[harsh]

Can't wait to see a 70 year ripped Hugh Jackman to play comic accurate Oldman Logan ripping out of hulk's stomach

[drumroll]

And everyone thanks him for his effort. That shot was amazing!!

[Dancingwithclyde]

Every time I see Hugh Jackman’s abs, I wanna put down my pizza

[Rhyciz]

He also uses a technique where you drink a lot of water and then flush it out of your system a day or so before filming to look more jacked
Edit: yeah it’s not a great idea since the benefits are super temporary and the risks don’t make it worthwhile

6, 000 calories, professional trainers, and steroids: the Hollywood secret sauce 💪🏾

The theater went wild when I went and saw this. He looks great!

[Pupeyes]

He was so hot. I honestly wasn’t expecting that but was so happy about seeing daddy Logan.

[gloriaohara]

So impressive for a man over 50 to dedicate himself and look like this...absolute respect!! Is there anything this man cannot do?

That mask changes everything Wolverine in movies this past 25 years. Holy, how good he looks wearing it

[inweho]

Now it’s on to Henry Cavill to continue Hugh Jackman legacy.

He’s definitely on PED’s. Man is 55 so I don’t blame him but people can’t be fool enough to think this is 100% natural

[savvyforcrypto]

It was worth it and I can’t express enough how thankful I am to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman for fulfilling my dream. It’s amazing to see Hugh in the yellow and blue!! Been waiting for this for the last 20yrs. He is/was THE WOLVERINE! Grew up watching the X-men cartoons. I think this goes for a lot of fans who grew up watching X-men and was waiting for this masterpiece.

As soon as I saw that scene, that became my motivation. I started hitting the home workout a week later.

Tilapia is high on protein and good for muscle building. While it makes you feel like you want to vomit, it seriously good for muscle growth and cutting off the fat.

[fireblaster]

Huge jacked man will always be his name in my mind

[marconigro]

He did not eat 6000kcal, have you seen his portions? It looks more like 2500-3000kcal
Even cbum doesnt eat cbum when bulking

[miromulus]

He's actually eating 3000 calories from food and 3000 from PEDs. Dude's over 50 and naturally skinny. Let's be real.

[scoutwithoutclout]

His agent & trainer colluding like "don't tell em it was 'chicken & broccoli'. People growing wise to that slang."
