After Fasting For 17 Long Years To Be Wolverine, Hugh Jackman Devours Pasta At Fallon’s Show

If you belong to the ‘nerd’ category and have even a little idea about the various parallel universes (LOTR, GOT, Marvel, DC etc), you know that while there have been multiple Batmans, Supermans and Hulks, there has ONLY been one Wolverine. Ever. 

So when I say that Hugh Jackman is synonymous with Wolverine, you know I am not kidding. But as they say, with great superhero roles comes a great commitment to fitness (yeah, okay, I tweaked it a bit). And from Hugh’s audition video or from his video of doing a voiceover for the latest film, we can conclude that it is not easy being a badass superhero.

Guest starring in the Jimmy Fallon Show recently, Hugh Jackman revealed that he followed the exact same diet for 17 years on a stretch (that’s right!) to prepare for Wolverine’s role, shooting for 8 movies in the period.

Following the technique of Intermittent Fasting (IF), Jackman starved for 16 hours daily and only ate boiled chicken, broccoli, and cauliflower. Before the shoot, he’d even stop drinking water for 30 hours (30 frickin’ hours!).

But now that his Wolverine days are over and he was on Jimmy Fallon’s show, he got rewarded for the hard work. Jimmy treated him to a huge-ass bowl full of pasta made by renowned Italian chef, Mario Batali.

The happiness on Hugh’s (and more so on Chef Mario’s) face is ABSOLUTE GOLD!
