Hugh Jackman Imagines He IS Wolverwine While At The Gym
Hugh Jackman got creative while training and working on increasing his mass for ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine'. Right when he thought he couldn't lift another weight, he would imagine that he was in fact the character, Wolverine.
“I
work out imagining I’m Wolverine. Wolverine to me is the guy that when
everybody else quits, that’s where he begins. I think that’s why people love
him.”
Love that! The 40-year-old actor admits that besides hitting the gym HARD, he also ate lots and lots of protein – specifically chicken.
“I think we’ve wiped out entire gene pools of chickens. To any
vegetarians out there, I really apologize.”
But the best quote of this interview has to be about his wife Deborra-Lee Furness. She didn't enjoy watching him buff up! In fact, it was quite the opposite.
“She gets very annoyed. She says, 'A husband's job is to be fat and
flabby and make me look fabulous.' She said I wasn't living up to my end of
the bargain."
LOL! That's NOT what I would be saying if my husband came home looking ripped like the Wolverine. But hey! To each his own right?

I don't hype about him, but he must be a great husband.
The majority of what he says is classic. It seems like he is pretty down to earth and enjoys life. Good for him.
Chicken is the DIRTIEST and I mean DIRTIEST thing you can eat. Not a good source of clean protein. Shame on his nutritionist.
what are clean sources of protein? i'm curious.

............. probably a pidgeon. Or a pig.
I think that person meant chickens are literally filthy and disease-carrying. I just met a cheese farmer, and he stated that just about any animal would be cleaner than a chicken when he was explaining why there are no chickens on his farm. Clean proteins would probably be grass-fed animals and cheeses? Or tofu, I suppose.
Pigeons are tasty! Don't knock 'em.
"...Fat and flabby..."
His wife is really funny!:-)

You gotta love those two. They are so obviously devoted to each other and their family. Oh, and I love his idea! Wow to the power of mental imaging! Ill remember to try that the next time Im at the gym, Ill pretend Im Catwoman or Laura Croft. Or maybe Ill just stay at home and pretend I had their bodies. LOL
That's soooo funny!!...While we're making confessions...I sometimes imagine I'm the lead singer/dancer in one of those cheesy pop music videos with a ripped body...in mind of course ;)
I'm a vegetarian and I have to say that it's sort of flattering to have him even recognize that. I have NOTHING against other people eating whatever they choose (I hate those vegetarians that walk around lecturing everyone), so I don't have anything against him eating lean protein, but it's sort of nice when people recognize it... we veggies tend to feel like outcasts a lot of time (thanks in large part to PETA, might I add) and it's always cool to have it acknowledged in a non-rude way. Like I needed another reason to love him!!
I totally agree with the wife--I like playing with the muscles, but I don't want the hubby to be more attractive than me either.
