Hugh Jackman's changing physique

I understand that you have three different sets of clothes for the different sizes of you. There's boxes in my storage. Fat suits, skinny suits, normal suits. And right now, in this shape, I don't have any suits. So I just wear track pants. When I started, I'd been in prison camp for 19 years, and it was brutal. Prison camps are very horrible. So I actually got quite skinny, very hollow in the cheeks and very sunken in the eyes. And then, literally two days later, I was the mayor, which is nine years later in the film. And he said, so now I need you just to be much fuller in the face, much bigger. And I was like, all right, Tom, I've got to explain something to you. The body doesn't work that way. But I did go out, and I ate a ridiculous amount for 48 hours. I ate so much. And I did kind of start to put on weight quicker. And by the end of the film, I was 30 pounds heavier. So between us and everybody else, I was secretly also planning this for Wolverine. So I started very lean, but quite strong. Kept training, but ate a lot. So I got 30 pounds heavier, a little fatter, but kept strong underneath. Finished Les Mis, and then had about three months to get ready to leave. So that was sort of my process. What's the diet like? The Wolverine diet. The Wolverine diet is strict. It's about 4,000 calories a day, maybe four and a half as I'm bulking up. And then as I'm leaning up, it drops down to about three, three and a half thousand calories. Not the fun calories. This is the chicken, fish, maybe steak. Always protein six times a day. Protein, steamed vegetables, and occasionally some brown rice or something like that. Protein shakes, and just like that. No alcohol, no sugar. Pretty much nothing that's fun.
