HUGH JACKMAN DENIES USING STEROIDS FOR HIS ‘X-MEN’ CHARACTER WOLVERINE: It wasn’t steroids that gave Hugh Jackman his Wolverine body. According to the Logan actor, it was “chickens.” Variety reports that Chris Wallace interviewed Jackman recently and asked, “Over the years people have wondered, did he juice? Did he take steroids?” To this, Jackman responded, “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. And 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. Literally the karma is not good for me. If the deity has anything related to chickens, I’m in trouble.”
