The actor shared on social media that he consumed more than 8,000 calories as part of his process to get back into the role of Wolverine. However, his diet was accompanied by a great medical team and trained chefs, since it must be taken into account that Jackman is 55 years old and that consuming that amount of calories would not be healthy for anyone who does not go through the process with someone else.
