Hugh Jackman Talks About Eating 6,000 Calories a Day and Peeing in His Wolverine Suit - "It Does Not Feel Good"
Hugh Jackman recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and while there, he talked about coming back as Wolverine in Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine and finally wearing the iconic yellow and blue suit, which came with the challenge of trying to pee.
Jackman explained: “It looks so good, it feels so good. Except when you’re urinating it does not feel good. It’s like a labyrinth getting there. Worth it.”
Yeah, most of the costumes are not practical when it comes to going to the bathroom. They are made to look cool, and the last thing the designers think about when creating them is bathroom accessibility.
Jackman also opened up about bulking up again to play Wolverine in the film and how he had to consume 6,000 calories a day!
He said: “It’s 6000 calories, and it’s not the calories you necessarily want. Like half a pizza is 6000 calories. But no this is chicken, and it’s tilapia and beans. Tilapia and beans. I don’t know why tilapia. It must be some fish that is lean and green beans.”
Jackman worked his ass off to get in shape for Wolverine, and it’s impressive to see what he is able to pull off at his age with his body! When his costume exploded off his body in Deadpool & Wolverine and you got to see his ultimate flex… I can only hope to be able to be in that kind of shape in my 50s!
