10. He Throws Himself Into His Fight Scenes

Let€™s start with the obvious pun and the obvious point: "Huge, Jacked Man" is believable kicking ass and stabbing with his knucks. The actor understands the animal urges and constant pain in Logan€™s psychological makeup. His Wolverine almost relaxes into a fight, as if going back to his natural state. Jackman threw himself into the role physically as well as mentally, often doing his own stunts before a scare in the bullet train scene of 2013€™s The Wolverine forced him to cut back. Even recently, the 46-year-old actor joined the "1,000 pound club," an elite group of weightlifters able to do 355 pounds in squats, bench-press 235 and dead-lift 410 in a three-hour timeframe. There could quite easily be a whole top ten list just of Hugh Jackman fight scenes, but nothing quite stands out like his showstopping defence of the X-Mansion in X2.
