Los Angeles, CA (AHN) – According to British publication handbag.com, Hugh Jackman is fuming over reports that he took illegal steroids to bulk up for his role in the latest X-Men movie.

The Australian actor is said to have changed his physique dramatically to reprise his character of Wolverine in “X-Men: The Last Stand” – but according to Hugh, it was because of his dedication and hard work.

Hugh reveals, "I would never take steroids, I think nothing is worse. I had to do an hour and a half in the gym every morning.

"But there were some special effects too, They even managed to make Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart look years younger."
