Fans go wild for Hugh Jackman’s sexy mirror selfie: ‘Grateful’

Hugh Jackman’s fans have thanked him for sharing a very muscular mirror selfie in the wake of his recent transformation.

Hugh Jackman has shared a very muscular selfie in the wake of his transformation for the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie.

The Aussie actor, 55, showed off his toned arms and abs in the photo shared on Instagram, which he captioned, “I am grateful” – and his fans echoed the same sentiments.

“Hugh we are also grateful,” one commented, while another chimed in, “Yes, Hugh. Me too. I’m also grateful.”

“I need ten more of these photos, thank you very much Hugh,” another wrote.

Accompanying the sexy selfie was a 4-minute voice note from Jackman thanking his team for helping getting him into optimal shape for the blockbuster, which also starred Ryan Reynolds.

“I’ve had a lot of people who talk to me and ask me questions about how I got into shape,” Jackman said in the voiceover.

“What I did, what I ate, how I trained, how hard is it at your age? Just wanted to take a second and say, yeah I had to turn up, I had to do those deadlifts, I had to eat those meals but I had an incredible team who helped me. There’s no hope in hell I would have gotten there without them.”

Hugh Jackman shared this sexy selfie to thank his team for helping him transform for the Deadpool & Wolverine movie.

First he thanked his personal trainer Beth Lewis, who has been his PT for the last five years and helped him shape up for this role among other projects, such as his stint on Broadway in The Music Man.

“She always was present, thoughtful, kind, and then when it was time to push me she could push me,” Jackman said in the clip.

Jackman credits his personal trainer Beth Lewis for his transformation.

Lewis and Jackman have worked together for the last five years.

“Beth, you really were the quarterback for this whole thing, and I am beyond grateful that I have you supporting me on these journeys that I’m on.”

He went on to thank his longtime friend and trainer Michael Ryan and “the people who helped me eat right, because for a year I didn’t have to think about what I was shopping for and cooking.”

The actor also praised his makeup artist, Whitney James, for helping make his muscles “glisten” even more on the big screen.

“Whitney, my makeup artist, was called to put on some kind of oil to make my skin glisten,” Jackman said.

“You would hear [director] Shawn Levy yell out, ‘Fresh lube on Hugh!’ Everyone would laugh.”

Jackman’s return as Wolverine in the X-Men franchise came seven years after he last got his claws out in the smash-hit movie Logan, which grossed $920 million in the global box office. His latest jaunt in Deadpool & Wolverine has grossed $1.7 billion worldwide since its July release, making the film the highest-grossing R-rated release in history.

The star’s sexy photo comes one year since his split from wife Deborra-Lee Furness. The pair called it quits in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage.

“We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness,” they said in a joint statement at the time. “We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”
