Hugh Jackman Explains How Jerry Seinfeld Made Him Quit Wolverine

Hugh Jackman is suave while heading to an appearance on Live! With Kelly & Michael at ABC Studios on Tuesday (June 9) in New York City.

On the show, the 46-year-old Australian actor chatted about how Jerry Seinfeld influenced his decision to retire as Wolverine after the upcoming X-Men movie.

“I was having a chat with him about a year ago at his birthday and he was talking about why he finished [Seinfeld] and how it was riding high, and he said he just always had this feeling or belief that you never know when either your energy or the audience’s energy is going to dip over and people are like, ‘Please! Go!’” Hugh shared.

He added, “I’ve been doing it for 17 years, I love it. I think the movies are getting better. And all of the sudden, as he was talking to me, I went, ‘This is it.’” Watch the video below!

Earlier in the day, Hugh showed off his muscles while enjoying a jog in the Big Apple.
