Hugh Jackman has opened up about the hardest adjustment he made while gearing up to play Wolverine again this summer.

The 55-year-old actor who stars alongside Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming superhero film Deadpool & Wolverine told People magazine that he was pumped to prepare for his big screen return as the iconic mutant.

My body was a little sore at the beginning, but I was thrilled that my body was still responding. And I realized how good it is for your brain. But the hardest bitthe food, said Jackman, who initially decided that hed retire from playing Wolverine after Logan in 2017.

Jackman, who shared a snapshot of his apparent 8,000-calorie diet days on social media early last year, acknowledged that he had to eat a lot for the role.

For me, for my body type, Im naturally skinny. To get the size on, thats the hardest bit. Thats the bit that does my head in, said Jackman, who previously told CNN s Chris Wallace that hed make it his job to train for the part in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Reynolds noted that five or six meals a day might sound great to some people.

But its not like the type of food that you would really necessarily enjoy, he said.
