Hugh Jackman’s Intense Preparation for Deadpool 3
Jackman’s jacked muscular body has been garnering fans’ attention for quite a while now. In an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he mentioned,
“I’m on about 4,500-5,000 calories at the moment. I wore a heart rate monitor [on the show] because my trainer said, ‘I need to know what I’m working with here, because I’m trying to bulk you up.'”
He further continued,
“I burned 1,500 calories in the show, eight times a week. So she goes: ‘Oh, you gotta eat.’ So I was eating 4,500 calories a day, it was not pretty. Now I’m just eating and training.”
While there were speculations around the star taking steroids to get that ripped figure, he shut it down by state to stick to the “old school way.” To get his ferocious look, The Prestige star is focusing to eat “more chickens” to fulfill his nutritional content and shaping his muscular figure by working out in the gym. He has been constantly updating the fans about his fitness regime on social media which is again proof that he is super serious about his craft.
Stranger Things executive producer, Shawn Levy is helming the upcoming project, Deadpool 3 which is set to release in the United States on November 8, 2024.
