“That damn Wolverine”: Despite Playing Muhammad Ali, Will Smith Felt Inferior to Hugh Jackman’s Ultra-Shredded Physique for a Strange Reason

Renowned as a dynamic Hollywood figure, Will Smith is acclaimed for his acting, rap skills, and charitable initiatives. Emerging through The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, he achieved blockbuster success with films such as Men in Black and Independence Day, leaving an enduring imprint on the entertainment realm. His magnetic presence, remarkable abilities, and global societal contributions remain influential.

At the conclusion of an Esquire interview covering topics such as basketball, his children, his film Focus, his own sense of continual dissatisfaction, and notably, his loftiest aspiration, Will Smith also desired to have Hugh Jackman’s physique.

Will Smith Wanted Hugh Jackman’s Physique

In a candid conversation with Esquire, Will Smith shared his admiration for fellow actor Hugh Jackman, particularly Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine. Smith expressed his determination to match Jackman’s physique, highlighting the impressive low body fat percentage that Hugh Jackman achieved for the role.
“That damn Wolverine. That’s as good as it gets right there. I’m going for him. I’m going for Hugh Jackman. His body fat had to be around 4,” Will Smith said.

In the interview, Will Smith revealed the significant transformations his body underwent for different roles. He mentioned reaching a weight of 225 pounds for Ali and dropping to 183 pounds with just 6 percent body fat for I Am Legend, emphasizing the remarkable shift he experienced between the two roles.
“I got up to 225 for Ali. I was 183 for I Am Legend. It was 6 percent for I Am Legend, but that’s way down. So 183 to 225 is a huge shift.”
Smith described the experience as agonizing, both emotionally and physically. He had to undergo extensive training in boxing and master a new accent for the role. The filming process took place across multiple continents, adding to the challenging nature of making the movie.

Will Smith Got Away From His Family

Will Smith, a prominent figure in the film industry, has achieved fame through relentless effort and commitment. He hoped to pass on this legacy to his kids, aspiring for their renown in the same field. However, not all plans unfold as intended, and Smith’s attempts to elevate his children’s fame didn’t succeed. These efforts resulted in unforeseen consequences, which he discussed during a recent appearance on Kevin Hart’s Peacock talk show, Hart to Heart.

Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, are proud parents of two talented individuals: 22-year-old Willow Smith and 25-year-old Jaden Smith. Inheriting their father’s talents, both kids excel in their respective fields. Willow and Jaden are currently carving their paths in the realms of acting and music.

Just like any devoted parent, Smith held high aspirations for his children’s careers, hoping to witness them soar to incredible heights. Unfortunately, his vision didn’t align well with his kids’ perspectives.
