Hugh Jackman denies steroid use for Wolverine

It’s not his physique or mass that’s the give away. It’s the monster veins and the dried out skin. He might not have used to get bug, but if I was a betting man I would guess that he’s used some weaker roids to keep his mass up and growing while he dieted hard. He also definitely took some diuretic or something

I think some kind of diuretic is likely. He's clearly dehydrated and looks unsustainably lean. But AAS isn't required to look like that - like I said if that's his best superhero physique on gear, he should be ashamed of himself.

If he was both huge and ripped like John Cena, Liver King or these other super jacked show biz muppets, I'd call BS. But come on guys. This dude is paid millions to temporarily get in the best shape of his life and he's 185 lbs @ 6' 3". That's basically Abraham Lincoln.

Does this dude look like he's on gear?

No but that guy also doesn’t look like Hugh Jackman so I don’t know why you’re asking me that. Like I said it’s not his build or leaned that I find questionable.
 
He's probably being honest. He doesn't strike me as the kind of person that has a reputation for being a liar. I've heard only great things about the guy. The photos being posted are also airbrushed and using lighting techniques to make him look as jacked as possible. His physique seems achievable without roids imo.

He isn't 185. He is around that weight after draining his body from water by manipulating aldosterone with drinking a lot of water and stopping. You watch fighting. You know the guys don't weigh that little. You get what I mean? He has to bulk up a lot first then cut down with diet then he cuts water on top of that. You really think he slowly bulked up while shedding body fat to single digit level in a span of a few months? That type of body recomp takes a long time.
 
This thread is weird. People can improve their physique in the 30-45 yrs old range.

Jackman could be natty. Some of Jackman's physique is from being ripped. Being ripped makes people look way more muscular than what they are especially when the camera adds 10 pounds. Look at Brad Pitt. I have heard stories about women meeting him and being extremely turned off b/c he is so skinny in real life. These are women saying this not bodybuilders.

I know man. I've said several times that Jackman looks like an in-shape ~200 lbs gym bro at his height who got very disciplined with a cut to look super ripped. I'm very familiar with cutting weight having done it for years for wrestling and Judo and having trained combat sports since teens. I've also tried different training routines over the years going for definition or mass and have ranged between 152 and 190 at 5' 8.5". Both are unsustainable for me but both come down to training discipline. Getting ripped is about running caloric deficit eating super clean with a lot of protein, fiber and veggies while doing a lot of LISS cardio on top of lifting. At 150 lbs I'm noticeably leaner than my pic above - not quite as lean as movie Jackman but I think if I really pushed it and took a diuretic, I could get there even at my age. Bulking up is discipline to do the opposite. For me it's eating way more than I want to, lifting heavy as shit and forcing myself to recover and not do cardio.

Genetics vary but it's much easier for people with lean/skinny genetics to LOOK jacked. I know this first hand. I've always been a "hard gainer" with distance runner genetics and always struggled to gain weight. I have to lift weights to weigh over 150. When I did a bulking routine for 4 months to get to 190 I was fatter than I'd like but still probably leaner than many people's in shape steady state.

Jackman appears to have lean/skinny genetics. From his interviews, he seems to be into clean living and doesn't want to fuck up his endocrine system with PEDs. I can relate to that. Before being cast as Wolverine, he was a performer in theater and musicals. Clearly not training to look jacked but in shape doing jumping and spinning shit on stage. After the first X-men movie, he obviously got on a strength training program and bulked up but definitely within natty range.

Jackman with prep time probably starts out in shape around 200. Then spends 6 months trying to put on as much muscle as possible before cutting down to a ripped and unsustainable 185. Proportionally that's similar to me at a ripped 150. Dramatically changing your physique in 6 months to a year is very doable natty.

My point was that his movie proportions are similar to IRL Abraham Lincoln. Not that that's really Abraham Lincoln. I guess I was trying to make a joke... nevermind I'll show myself out.

There's more people focused on physical fitness here than most other forums so this should be the place such bullshit gets called out.

Jackman of Days of Future Past was probably on gear. The guy is 6'3", had obvious mass and was lean as hell. Yeah there's a possibility he was clean, but pretty damned unlikely to be the case. Shooting a movie for months and spending 12+ hrs on set doesn't help keeping up that level of conditioning on your mind 40s.

I did it in my late 20s but that's all I did. Work, gym, sleep. And I have decent genetics and respond well to exercise. He's the same it seems, but things change when you hit 40 and I just can't see being able to maintain that physique without help while spending all day on set.

But like a lot of people have pointed out, it's very easy these days to add effect with clever lighting, shading of certain areas of the body to create the appearance of better definition, not to mention simply altering the appearance with a bit of light cgi.
Literally seems like everyone else here though, are basing their accusations of steroid use purely on his appearance in the movie itself.
Genuinely wondering if there are any photos of Jackman's physique around that time that aren't from the movie.

Who cares seriously.

Acting is play pretend, roidng out ex just fits.
 
Hugh Jackman isn't even that big in wolverine.

No idea why people are insisting he uses steroids. But lots of sherdoggers go to the gym so they must know he's lying......
 
I'm not going to claim I know what he's up to, but I'll just say it's not impossible to get in that kind of shape in his 40s with strong discipline.

Truth be told some people are just genetically gifted and have little issue showing gains from routine fitness, while others struggle without any additional "help".

It's been 5 months.. dude doesn't have a day job. It's not like he can compete with Jay Cutler right now, not sure why this is so unbelievable

He is lean bulking at 55 years old. That doesn't happen in real life in a span of a few months. He isn't even bulking up then cutting.
