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.
