"Killed." " Hugh Jackman recalls it vividly. "We have killed in the reviews. Snappy! Like, 'is this the worst show... ever.' There are few experiences more soul juice for an actor than if your Broadway debut dead on arrival is announced jointly by the mainstream media. That Hugh Jackman - is apparently, unless your name is there as of actors before me tells the critical response to the 2003 production of The Boy from oz sits (or, as the New York it 'an undeniably wrong card' called times) and his performance in it (which, according to New York Magazine, lacked "Spark, liveliness and joy"), spreads out over the Australian face like a California Wildfire a contagious smile. One thing is certain: he is now missing no joy.
We sit opposite each other at a long dining table in the middle of a spacious Manhattan apartment. We really just back down from the rooftop terrace, where Jackman has spent the last two hours of swings and weaving under a cloudless blue sky, his men fitness shoot. Jackman, is ripping, has just sold his publicist before him with the day's work behind him, in a plate with grilled chicken and avocado slices. He offers me some, but I politely refuse, to know better. The day before the same publicist sent our photo Director an email asking "about Hugh food for tomorrow, please twice about order?" Be informed, shortly after an other email our stylist, "we tomorrow size having 36 pants with stretch" as "Hugh got much bigger thigh in the last weeks of training." Filming for X-men: days of future past only a week way, Jackman is determined to maintain the muscle he packed on the this year's the Wolverine and I'm not seeing what happens if I between a Wolverine and his food to get.
This year, Jackman began intermittent fasting after a plan, The 8-hour diet, a current bestselling author (and men's fitness advice Editorial Director) David Zinczenko. "I feel so much better on it," he says. The diet, making an eight hour window, followed by a 16-hour food, fat burning fast, particularly suitable for the actor, who constantly for the bulk export and editing roles. "I don't have nearly the amount of fat I would put normally," he said. "And the great thing about this diet is that I sleep so much better." While Jackman, that he is considering adhering to the diet forever says this does not mean that he has fallen short in the past. In order to build his body for the Wolverine, he followed a brutal, no-nonsense nutrition plan prescribed him personally by none other than Dwayne "the rock" Johnson. "He told me that is in a period of six months on 25 pounds of muscle and not fat to eat natural food and 6,000 calories a day", says Jackman. "There were times when I would literally eating with the spirit of working out."One more mouthful, one more, come, come, you've got to finish this meal. "" It is certainly a victim, but he is used to that. for him, it is only "part of the gig."
"It happens always in degrees in life, isn't it?" Jackman says, chewing on a piece of chicken. "I've had experiences where I've done something against my instinct, but people had convinced me, it was the right career move, and when these things does not work and I saw her, I found almost impossible it with life. Felt like I ashamed of me, you know that my instinct said no, but I had said yes, since it was strategically, "the right step." "
He refers to recent publicists and agents that too tried the actor image control."I can look back on a few photo shoots and say, "Oh, my God, it's not me, so" where the stylists brought clothing, who wanted to carry me, and I said, okay, thats kinda pathetic. "but I was far more concerned to hurt their feelings." But after 18 years in the movie business in Jackman, 44, he says now realized, that the best way is honest and direct, to keep things moving. Today he is surrounded by a team that seems to understand that your client actual personality far nicer than any media-friendly facade, that they ever over plastering could. (Jackman is ironically routinely called the handsomest guy in Hollywood.) "" I try, I am as much as I can, if I do not, for better or worse, but I have writers who have told me, it is a bad idea: "your hands move too much, you did this too many times, you should do this, you should not talk," "he says, from the countless statements he ticks - Hugh Jackman friggin'-has been given over the years to improve its appearance."
It was that kind of early lead, who reject it, opened the lead role of Peter Allen in the original version of The boy from Oz, in Sydney in 1998. When the curtain was raised, Jackman was in the audience. "I realized it was one of the best parts I had ever seen, and I felt sick to my stomach," he recalls. "All strategy development, and I it got."
