  • He was born on October 12, 1968 in Sydney to Grace McNeil (née Greenwood) and Christopher John Jackman.
  • He was raised solely by his father, as his parents separated when he was eight and his mother moved back to England.
  • Hugh didn’t always want to go down the game path, he was actually studying to be a journalist at the University of Technology Sydney. In his senior year, he took a theater theory course and the rest was history. Soon after, he began taking classes at the Western Australian Academy of Arts.
  • He really started at the bottom before achieving his fame; at one point in his life he worked as a gas station attendant and as a birthday clown.
  • He’s not the only one enjoying the fame his role as Wolverine brought him, apparently his son uses him to pick up girls… three words, ‘best winger ever’.
  • He wears contacts, but not for cosmetic reasons, Hugh is terribly nearsighted and has extremely blurry vision when he doesn’t put them on.
  • We can all agree that his role in 2000’s X-Men was his breakout role, well, he was actually a last minute addition to the cast. Dougray Scott was originally cast for Wolverine, but he had to leave to film an additional two months of filming for Mission: Impossible 2.
  • He has Russell Crowe to thank for his role as Wolverine, after the Gladiator actor turned down the role, he personally recommended Jackman to director Bryan Singer for the part.
  • Acting isn’t the only talent he has up his sleeve, the star loves to sing and he especially enjoys showcasing this talent at his friend’s weddings. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban can attest to that.

Size of Hugh Jackman

Unlike the star, you don’t need any visual aids to see he’s a great piece of male perfection, that’s obvious. The star stands tall and proud at 6ft 2in. Speculation about the size of the star has been so rampant that it actually came back to him and here’s what he had to say in rebuttal.

“If someone goes around saying, ‘You’re really not 6′ 2″; you’re 5′ 10″, I’ll say to them once, ‘I’m 6′ 2″.” Then, whatever you wanted to believe, it’s up to you. Am I going to waste energy saying, “I’m so crazy that this person says I’m 5′ 10″?”

Weight of Hugh Jackman

Again, no visual aids are needed to see that he is in pretty good shape, 82 kilograms never looked so good. For someone over 40 we have to give it to him, some 20 year olds are far from the perfection he prepares. But it didn’t happen overnight, the star worked hard for her body.

He has his X-Men role as Wolverine to thank for his drastic body transformation, sure he still had the makings of a great body, but that was something else. There was a change in his overall size and shape, with ample muscle definition.

To achieve this, the star mainly did a lot of big lifts, bench presses, barbell rows, lunges, and heavy barbell squats, among other things. We can openly say that it paid off well.
