Hugh Jackman told he ‘needs a leg day’ after posting Wolverine workout video

You know the internet is a wild place when you have people questioning Wolverine's calves.

Hugh Jackman - who is arguably one of the most built men in Hollywood - continues to stay in great shape, even at 54 years of age.

The X-Men actor has posted a number of recent workout videos - however, some viewers are questioning if he skips leg day.

Watch below to see if the armchair critics have a point:

In the lead up to Deadpool 3, Jackman says he consumes over 6,000 calories a day as he bulks up for the film.

And on an episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the Aussie actor promised to be ‘bigger than ever’ and spoke about his fitness regime and strict diet.

“No, I love my job. And I love Wolverine. I got to be careful what I say here, but I had been told anecdotally what the side effects are of that. And I was like, ‘I don’t love it that much.’ So no, I just did it the old school way,” he told viewers.

He later joked about the amount of chicken he’d consumed as he adopted a clean eating diet.

“I tell you, I’ve eaten more chickens — I’m so sorry to all the vegans and vegetarians and to the chickens of the world,” he quipped.

Adding: “Literally the karma is not good for me. If the deity has anything related to chickens, I’m in trouble.”

As expected, he and co-star Ryan Reynolds have continued to tease fans as they prepare for the physically demanding film – which will be released next year.

While Jackman continues to post his workouts online, some viewers have taken issue with his legs.

In a video posted in April this year, the veteran was filmed intensely jogging on a treadmill in a blue vest and black shorts.

Commenting on the clip, one person wrote: "LEG DAY HUGH. LEG DAY," while another added: "Hugh, do not skip leg day."

And in a recent video uploaded on Tuesday (3 October), where Jackman is seen enjoying himself in-between benching, one person suggested: "You need a leg day Hugh !! xxx."

Not that it means much but if those are chicken legs, then I don't want to know what mine are.

Anyways, majority of viewers are in awe of Jackman's physique, as someone else said: "Wolfie you look awesome! "

Others were just happy to see him smiling, with another adding: "It's so good to see you laughing."
