Hugh in Training

[narrows101]

A nice little gossip piece from the Daily Telegraph via the Courier Mail in Australia - although there's one error - Hugh was a student at WAAPA, not NIDA.

Hugh Jackman calls on personal trainer mate

MATES who work out together stay together, as proved by Hugh Jackman and his best pal and personal trainer Michael Ryan this week.

Jackman, who was best man at Ryan's wedding to Zoe Bingley-Pullen earlier this year, has hired his mate to prepare for his role as Wolverine - with the big budget film to begin shooting at Fox Studios at the end of November.

The buffed-up buddies, whose friendship dates back to Jackman's days as a student at NIDA, were spotted slogging it out on the treadmill at Fitness First Kings Cross bright and early yesterday morning.

Note to Ryan - if the size of Huge, sorry Hugh's pecs are anything to go by, you're doing a sterling job.

The Biceps are there... the traps are there... needs to bulk up the chest and he's back... still doesn't hide the wrinkles creeping up beneath the eyes there.

He's gotta stop smiling and playing in the sun! t: Plus he is getting older as are all of us (his birthday's next week).

Cool. I'm very excited for the film. Robert Sanchez is hearing fantastic pieces about the fresh rewrite from Skip, too.

Now that's just good stuff. Guy's in awesome shape. And I really wish Wolverine's hair was more like that in the movies. Less puffy. I really liked that period when he just had long hair. Looked kind of Native American.

 

[Electrix]

^ haha

_BB_ where have you been?

 

[_BB_]

Aww did you miss me?

I've started University! Its been a really hectic and I haven't got much free time anymore but I still read the boards when I can. When production starts on Wolverine though I'll definately try and get on the boards more often

 

[xXx]

awesomeness! thank god!

 

[Spamtron]

I'm guessing that might be some of your sweet artwork BB?

 

[narrows101]

Here's a few more recent ones from different angles LOL.

 

[dark_b]

this is the size that superman should also be. i wouldnt want brandon to be bigger than this.

 

[chaseter]

NO CARBS D@MNIT! That said...I am sure Hugh will be up to the Wolverine we all know him to be soon enough...WITHOUT CARBS.

sorry but what?

 

[Spamtron]

sorry but what?

BB - I thought you might be referring (with you ^^haha reply) to the comparo of Hugh and the comic cell that Nighthawk had posted. I had seen a bit of your artwork a bit ago, and thought maybe that was something of yours done in the style of the original comic artist.

 

[_BB_]

lol nah, im no where near that good

I just laughed because the comparison between hugh and the graphic was rediculously good

 

[Savage]

I think he looks great the way he is but Wolverine being stocky and all, the bigger the better.

 

[Spamtron]

Yeah that was pretty spot-on...

Don't sell yourself short BB... your stuff is d@mn good.

 

[wolviechickie]

I am actually really happy that he is getting ready for the role.

**** he looks fine...

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

Hugh looks great, he must have been hitting the gym hard, he still has a little time left before the start of filming and will only get more cut, just awesome.

It was reported that Hugh has been hitting the gym at 5 a.m. at every location where he's been filming AUSTRALIA since at least May, probably sooner. Here's one picture of him coming out of one of the gyms a few months ago.
