I was thrilled that my body was still responding: Hugh Jackman

As per a report in Deadline, Hugh Jackman said that he was "thrilled". He shared that his body was a little more at the beginning, but was thrilled that his body was still responding. "When I came back to it, it was really fun and I was thrilled. My body was a little sore at the beginning, but I was thrilled that my body was still responding. And I realized how good it is for your brain. But the hardest bit...the food," said Jackman

The actor added that he always had trouble bulking up. "I have to eat a lot. For me, for my body type, I'm naturally skinny. To get the size on, that's the hardest bit. That's the bit that does my head in," he added.
