Throw WAY back! Hugh Jackman sans bulging biceps and muscly legs in family photo from before his Hollywood makeover

By Alicia Vrajlal


He's previously been dubbed the sexiest man alive with his bulging biceps and toned torso.

But it looks like Hugh Jackman hasn't always been the muscly man that female fans across the globe have learned to love.

In a throwback photo posted to his Instagram account on Thursday, the 45-year-old actor showed his slimmer form back in the day as he relaxed with his family.

'THROW (WAY) BACK THURSDAY! With my Dad and Brother. Cheers. #notsolongago #sticks #lovinlife (sic),' he captioned the candid snap.

The Wolverine star reclined in a chair, his long limbs stretched out for all to see.

 

Clutching onto a cocktail as he enjoyed the company of his father and brother, the actor wore a blue printed T-shirt flaunting his slim arms.

Hugh's dark locks were swept to one side and he went for a clean-shaven look.

While he added the hashtag #notsolongago, it does seem that the photo was taken before his bulking up regimes for Hollywood flicks officially kicked off.

In recent months the star has been hitting the training circuit for some gruelling workout sessions to maintain his fine form.

In June The X-Men star looked every bit the Wolverine in a skin-tight blue T-shirt as he headed to the gym, with his muscly arms almost bursting through the sleeves.

As he lifted his black backpack into the car, veins were popping out of the skin on arms: a sure product of his intense workout regime.

The father of two - who is married to Deborra-Lee Furness - is famous for his superhero silhouette, which he has maintained for over 15-years playing mutant Wolverine in the X-Men franchise.

To stay in shape for the comic book franchise Jackman is notorious for his hardcore workout regime, having shared photos in the past of himself deadlifting 460 pounds and bending the steel bar.

He's next set to star in a blockbuster retelling of Peter Pan, where he will play the pirate Blackbeard.

Hugh and Deborah's kids are the only celebrity kids I know of who seem to be growing up slowly. All the others seem to be whizzing through their childhoods.

Must be nice to be able to spend all day every day in the Gym... Saying that, he does come across as well down to earth so he's forgiven..... Top bloke...

I agree, but your comment reminded me of Eric Bana during a Troy interview (I believe). When asked if he spent a lot of time in the gym, he said "no, I have friends". I guess things call for sacrifice.
