Small pieces of white fish. Hugh Jackman’s extreme diet to become Wolverine again

2024 will be a significant year for Hugh Jackman. 24 years after his first appearance as Wolverine, this legendary comic book superhero with retractable claws X-Men:The 55-year-old Australian actor is shedding his costume again to join the cast of the sequel Deadpool 3: with Ryan Reynolds, whose performance is scheduled for July 26. If we currently know very few details about the plot of this new opus, the actor offered a little peek behind the scenes of his extreme physical training on Sunday, January 14, on his Instagram account. He revealed more precisely the contents of his plate, a low-calorie diet that is supposed to help him lose body fat without losing muscle.

Fish, green vegetables and fresh cheese

The first meal revealed in the story immediately sets the tone. In a stainless steel food box, there are three small pieces of white fish, accompanied by a mixture of asparagus and broccoli visibly steamed in water or steam, and a wedge of lemon. In the next photo we find almost the same ingredients, but in more limited quantities: a piece of white fish and a pan of green asparagus. Finally, in the last photo, the white fish seems to have disappeared from his plate to be replaced by a scoop of fresh cheese paired with… broccoli.

“If you know, you know,” Hugh Jackman sums up in the caption. This Anglo-Saxon phrase is equivalent to the French acronym TMTC, which is an abbreviation of “you yourself know”, which expresses a common meaning for the group. Here, the Australian actor seems to sympathize with athletes who adopt an ultra-disciplined diet, even mocking the poverty of their meals. We’ll have to wait a few more months to see the results of this impressive effort on the big screen.
