But it wasn't only the Wolverine star's newly groomed look that drew attention when he stepped out to take his pet dog for a stroll.

Coming straight from a session at a local gym, Jackman showcased his muscular physique in a grey singlet top that went a long way towards highlighting his bulging biceps.

Ready to work up a sweat, he wore a pair of dark blue shorts that finished just above his knees and tied a jumped around his waist. 

The look is radically different from the one the Australian star has been sporting since June when he shaved his head and groomed his facial hair into a bushy moustache and pointed beard to play infamous pirate Blackbeard in his upcoming film Pan.
