Hugh Jackman reprises Wolverine ‘on the weekends’

Australian actor Hugh Jackman admits he’ll continue to play his most famous role, Wolverine, at home for his wife and kids.

Hugh Jackman will reprise Wolverine – but only on "Saturday nights".

The hunky actor had supposedly hung up his claws in 2016 after 16 years of playing the fiery X-Men superhero, but Hugh has now insisted he’ll get back into character on the weekends to entertain his wife Deborra-Lee Furness and their two kids Ava, 11, and Oscar, 17.

Speaking on ‘Lorraine’, Hugh said: "He’ll come back, just not with me … except Saturday nights at my house. I dress up.

"When my kids are not doing their homework, I dress up and the claws come out, I just have to do that [raise an eyebrow] with the claws and it works."

It’s not the first time Hugh has admitted he loves to play the iconic camera when the cameras aren’t rolling.

The 48-year-old actor previously admitted he has kept the costume from the set of the franchise and revealed it comes in handy when impressing his 57-year-old wife in bed.

When asked what it was like to live with Hugh during filming of the superhero flick, Deborah said they get through a lot of "sheets" and joked: "Oh my god, it’s dreadful! Always with the claws. I’m like ‘Mix the salad. Put them to use, come on!"’

Despite walking away from the money-spinning franchise, Hugh is sure another capable actor will replace him and Wolverine will continue to go from strength to strength.

He added: "Definitely someone else will play the role [of Wolverine], it’s a great role.

"You know, it’s like a Bond or it’s a like a Batman those kind of roles, other people will play him for sure."
