Actor Hugh Jackman is proving once again that age is just a number. The Hollywood star recently gave fans a glimpse into his relentless fitness routine, sharing photos and videos from an intense workout session that showcased the discipline behind his famously ripped physique.
Taking to Instagram, the Deadpool and Wolverine actor posted clips of himself lifting heavy weights and powering through a demanding training session. Alongside the workout footage, Jackman also celebrated a personal milestone, revealing he had achieved a new fitness best.
"BIG WIN today Last 2k was 6:54. Proud, exhausted, grateful and sweating profusely. This result is in no small part due to my friend and longtime trainer bethlewisfit," he wrote.
The post quickly earned praise from fans, who applauded the actor's dedication and consistency. Even after decades in the industry, Jackman continues to inspire followers with his commitment to staying in top physical condition.
His rigorous training has become synonymous with his career, particularly his preparation for physically demanding roles that require strength, endurance and athleticism.
Jackman's incredible fitness journey has long been associated with his portrayal of Wolverine, one of the most iconic superheroes in modern cinema. Although he was initially considered an unconventional choice for the role because of his height, the Australian actor went on to redefine the character across nearly 25 years of films.
His performance blended Wolverine's raw ferocity with emotional vulnerability, turning the mutant into one of Marvel's most beloved heroes. While Logan was initially billed as his farewell to the character, Jackman delighted fans by making a much-awaited return alongside Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool and Wolverine, once again showcasing the trademark physique that has become part of the character's identity.
Away from the gym, Jackman has also been making headlines for his musical talents. Earlier this year, he performed at media mogul Rupert Murdoch's 95th birthday celebration in New York, entertaining guests with songs from The Greatest Showman alongside classics including Fly Me to the Moon and New York, New York.
He wrapped up the performance with I Still Call Australia Home, paying tribute to his roots. Reports also stated that US President Donald Trump, who could not attend the celebration in person, sent a recorded video message wishing Murdoch on his milestone birthday.
Whether he's transforming for a superhero role, performing on stage or chasing new personal bests in the gym, Hugh Jackman continues to prove that discipline, versatility and hard work remain at the heart of his enduring Hollywood success.
