SUPERSTAR Hugh Jackman gave winter beachgoers a shirtless treat this morning, stripping down to his boardies to brave the cold weather for a dip at Bondi Beach.

The 49-year-old is back home in Sydney after last year hanging up his claws on the Wolverine franchise but the hunk still sports his iconic abs of steal.

He caught the attention of passer-bys after rinsing off in the open, public showers.

Jackman revealed last year that it was comedy star Jerry Seinfeld who convinced him to make Logan his last ever Wolverine movie.

Jackman first played the mutant in 2000s X-Men film and reprised the role a further seven times before a chat with Seinfeld motivated him to make one final movie.

“I had a dinner with Jerry Seinfeld, who’s a friend of mine,” Jackman explained to Willem Dafoe during Variety’s Actors on Actors series last December.

“I was asking him about the end of the series [Seinfeld]. I said, ‘How did you decide?’ And long story, he kind of said, ‘Look, I’ve always believed … you should never spend everything creatively because it’s almost herculean to start up again. You should always have something in the tank. Leave the party before it gets too late … and then somehow it spurs you into the next thing’.”

Logan was a hit with both the audience and critics and raked in more than $814 million worldwide.

At the time, Jackman could not have been happier with how the film turned out.

“It wasn’t until I saw the premiere in Berlin and literally at the end I cried,” he said.
