4. He Really Did Make Logan Seem Ageless And Indestructible
One reason it's kind of astonishing that Jackman is leaving us is how good a job he did convincing us he really was immortal. Except for a few more lines around the eyes, the Wolverine of Days of Future Past looks remarkably like the Wolverine we first saw in X-Men, even though both movies feature shirtless scenes for the Jack-Man and the camera can be unforgiving. Here, too, Jackman's personal life mirrors his characters'. He has stoically faced skin cancer for the last couple of years, noting that as an Australian who never wore sunscreen as a child, he was a "prime candidate." He's had at least four cancers removed since then. "Basal cell carcinoma is just something you have to deal with. It's cancerous. It will grow. You just have to get it out."
