Hugh Jackman Instagram: 'Pan' Star Deadlifts 400 Pounds In Impressive Workout Gone Viral [Watch Video]
Currently on set for the fantasy/adventure flick, Pan, actor Hugh Jackman (X-Men: Days of Future Past) showed off what Blackbeard the Pirate is really made off. In an Instagram video, the hunky X-Men star flexed his muscles and bulked up his impressive strength, lifting up to 400 pounds of barbells.
According to the IMDB page, Pan is based on the unforgettable children's tale by Scottish author J.M. Barrie. In this live-action take by filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna), we find out the origins of the lonely orphan who will one day become the legendary Peter Pan. Child actor Levi Miller (Terra Nova) will play the boy who can fly and never grow up.
When the announcement came that the Oscar nominee would be playing the villain, Blackbeard, no one expected how the thespian would alter his appearance. To get into character, the Les Miserables grew the mustache and goatee. The method actor took a step further for the role and shaved his head bald.
To share with all his Instagram followers, The Wolverine straightened out his superhero strength in the short video. The action star was deadlifting the barbell four times in quick and easy successive move. Approximately, the math states 180 kilograms equates to about 397 pounds.
Jackman writes, "Even Blackbeard does dead lifts. Training with David Kingsbury #180kgs #PAN"
