After retiring from professional bodybuilding, Arnold Schwarzenegger gained global recognition as an action star. Getting his breakthrough in 1982’s Conan the Barbarian, he gained prominence from his titular role in the Terminator franchise. 

Given his portfolio, it is quite an honorable thing for any star to get his recognition and Hugh Jackman has already impressed the former.

The X-Men: Apocalypse star has been on an intense fitness regime for his big comeback in the upcoming Deadpool 3 starring alongside Ryan Reynolds. Given that the role demands quite a shredded body from the Logan/Wolverine star, he is keeping up with it. 
Back in February this year, the 54-year-old actor shared his gym picture with a caption, “He’s [Reynolds] only 46. I’m older. But it’s not a competition.”

The post got a positive muscular arm emoji from the former which is a sign that Schwarzenegger is proud of the actor for doing an intense workout for his craft.

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.
