Hugh Jackman's latest Instagram post has sparked concern among fans, with the 47-year-old actor appearing almost unrecognisable. The picture, shared on Wednesday, shows a slimmed-down face, dark circles under his eyes and ashen skin, leading many to worry about his health.
Jackman is currently filming the untitled third stand-alone Wolverine movie, and most fans believe his aged look is due to make-up for the role. It is thought the spin-off will focus on the 'Old Man Logan' storyline from the comics, which would explain the dramatic transformation.
The actor has visibly slimmed down in recent weeks. A month ago, he posted a gym selfie showing bulging biceps, but a snap from five days ago suggests he has lost significant muscle mass. This is not the first time Jackman has altered his appearance for a film; he has bulked up to play Wolverine since 1999 and lost 85 pounds for his role in Les Miserables in 2012.
Off-screen, Jackman remains dedicated to fitness, but his latest look has left many fans eager for an explanation. The dramatic change may be a sign of his final outing as the clawed anti-hero.
