Hugh
Jackman certainly raised the temperature in Leicester Square when he
turned up for the UK premiere of The Wolverine this evening.
Chatting to Guilty Pleasures, the
hunky Aussie star, who plays the titular mutant in the film, said of his
character: ’His main defining quality is his berserk rage. He is
the most formidable and most feared and that’s because of this inner
rage that he’s got.’
Revealing how he gets into an
angry mood for his rage scenes, the 44-year-old actor added: ‘I take cold
showers in the morning, I wake up and train and I’m really grumpy on
set!’
He also said he
hasn’t tired of the character, who he has played on the big screen
since 2000, explaining: ‘I may be biased but he’s the coolest and most
interesting hero. I love him.’
Original X-Men director Bryan
Singer also beamed in to wish his friend luck from the set of upcoming X-Men
sequel, Days Of Future Past, which is currently filming in Canada and in which
Hugh will also star.
Bryan said: ‘We’re missing you
terribly. We’ve got your claws and your chicken breast. The fans are waiting.’
Joking, Hugh replied: ‘He read it like I
wrote it!’
And in light of recent comments by
fellow superhero Andrew Garfield who plays Spider-man, who said he wouldn’t
care if Peter Parker turned gay, Jackman proved a little frosty.
When asked if Wolverine could go
gay in an upcoming film, he grumbled: ’If he’s gay he’s gay!’
Arriving at the red carpet event
in an Audi spots car, the actor joked with waiting fans by pretending
to throw his keys into the crowd.
He was joined by
wife Deborra-Lee Furness who also demonstrated a playful sense of
humour by squeezing her husband’s bum while he was being interviewed.
Grateful for the support, Hugh
thanked the crowd for turning out.
‘I’m amazed, thank you. I saw people
were here from six in the morning,’ he added.
