Looking every inch worthy of his Marvel Comics hero status, Hugh Jackman returned to his proven Bondi workout routine yesterday to ensure the success of his latest Wolverine film.
The actor flew into Sydney on Saturday with his family and has wasted no time returning to the gym.
The star arranged a pre-dawn session pumping weights at Bondi Beach Fitness and Health, and followed it up with a brisk winter cardio session in the surf.
Fresh from shooting musical drama Les Miserables in the UK, the star has gone straight back to the gruelling fitness schedule that builds 10kg of muscle and transforms him into what his fitness trainer calls his "masterpiece".
Jackman's personal trainer of 20 years, Australian Mike Ryan, said the 43-year-old actor was "very, very skinny" when they first met by chance at a Sydney gym in 1989. Ryan now travels the world with Jackman keeping him in shape.
"He just keeps getting better and better over the years," Ryan has said.
"We've got a bet to see if we can both get to 50 and still have a six-pack."
Ryan says crack-of-dawn 90-minute workout sessions work best for the hunky father of two.
"We have a philosophy of training first thing in the morning," Ryan said.
Research suggests that people who train in the afternoons consistently do workouts of far less intensity than those who do train in the morning.
"When Hugh has a 6am filming start, that means we'll be in the gym by 4am," Ryan added.
The new film goes into production at Fox Studios next week and Hollywood hot property Jessica Biel is expected to arrive in Sydney shortly to join Jackman to play the evil villainess Viper.
