Hugh Jackman: Losing 3 Pounds Every Night on Broadway

Hugh Jackman heads to the gym for a post-Thanksgiving workout on Friday (November 25) in New York City.

The 43-year-old Aussie actor is currently starring in Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway, a gig that is causing him to lose three or four pounds every night because of the dancing.

“We started a week ago. Already they’ve taken my pants in three times,” Hugh recently told NPR.

“He dances like Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire. He’s in that kind of category,” the show’s director and choreographer, Warren Carlyle explained. “He’s just like this great leading man who has rhythm and who can really, really move.”
