Jackman said he had a “lot of people talk to me or ask me questions about how I got into shape, what I did, what I ate, how I trained, how hard is it at your age and all of these things”.

“I just wanted to take a second to say, yeah, I had to turn up and I had to do those deadlifts and I had to eat those meals, but I had an incredible team that helped me,” he said.

“When I say team, I’m going to mention eight people because there’s not a hope in hell I would’ve got there without them.”

Jackman singled out his most effusive praise for personal trainer Beth Lewis who the star said had been his fitness adviser for five years and was “the quarterback supporting me on these journeys that I’m on”.
