He famously borrowed The Rock’s training regime to get ripped for the first installment of The Wolverine.

And it appears that Hugh Jackman well and truly took his advice on board judging by a gym selfie he posted to Instagram on Wednesday.

The 47-year-old showed off his huge arm muscles while training hard in New Orleans.

Donning a navy muscle tank and pair of black gym shorts, the Australian actor was training his arm muscles hard while using resistance-based equipment.

‘Caption this….’, Hugh wrote alongside the photo, which was shared with his 6.8 million Instagram followers.

The hunky actor was clearly working hard, showing off a strained expression on his face and beads of sweat forming around his hairline.

He was also seen sporting the Wolverine’s signature trademark sideburns.

The Hollywood star is in the gym almost everyday and often shares his gruelling workouts to social media.

He once told Oprah that in addition to frequent workouts, he prepares for the Wolverine role by eating 6,000 calories per day after taking tips from ripped Hollywood actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.’

‘He [Dwayne] went through the diet. It was 6,000 calories, eating every two hours,’ he previously told Oprah.

‘It was like, two chicken breasts, steamed broccoli, beans and maybe some carbs.’

The husband of Deborra-Lee Furness, is currently in New Orleans as filming nears completion for the third installment of X-Men spin-off The Wolverine.

Hugh previously shared his desire to walk away from the franchise once filming concludes.

However he admitted last August he was moved by fan’s pleas to change his mind.

‘I must admit I was quite heartened by a number of people saying please don’t make it the last,’ he told Sydney Confidential.

‘But I’m really excited about this last one and if you’re a comic book fan then the words beserker rage came up a lot. If you know Wolverine you’ll understand.’ 

The term refers to the boiling anger experienced by Wolverine when opposing the urge to retaliate against an aggressor – thus increasing his already impressive body strength and forcing him into a ostensibly crazed state of consciousness.

Hugh’s third spin as the Marvel character will see Wolverine reunite with X-Men mentor Charles Xavier, taken on by British actor Patrick Stewart.
