Hugh Jackman & Russell Crowe: 'Les Miserables' Australian Premiere!

Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe suit up as they attend the premiere of their new film Les Miserables on Friday (December 21) in Sydney, Australia.

Hugh, 44, recently talked about the intense training he had to go through to play Jean Valjean.

“Definitely as hard as any Wolverine movie I’ve done,” Hugh admitted. “Getting skinny is one thing, but he (Jean) has to maintain his strength. I was in the gym for about three hours a day. For the first day of shooting I learned a little trick from my trainer there of not drinking any water. In a way, it sinks your cheeks and your eyes, because it was important for the story that he be unrecognizable. So, that was the goal. We went for it.”

FYI: Hugh is wearing a Dolce&Gabbana tuxedo.
