Trivia:
Hugh Jackman said that for his shirtless scenes in the film, he wanted to look “as ripped and cut as possible”. So he adopted a dehydration diet (used in bodybuilding) where he did not consume any liquid for 36 hours before filming his shirtless shots. He said it made him feel “headachy” and faint but he was pleased with the results as dehydrating tightens everything up and gave him the exaggerated muscle definition and vascularity that he wanted to show in his shirtless scenes.
