Greg Doucette Says Hugh Jackman Took Steroids: “He’s Neither Eating 6,000 Calories Nor Is This Man Natural”

Greg Doucette calls out Hugh Jackman about his prep for his recent film.

Hugh Jackman has been open about his training and prep to get his body ready for his role in Deadpool & Wolverine. He has shared many details during filming but Greg Doucette has called him out and believes he has been dishonest about his methods.

Jackman, who became known for his role in X-Men, has appeared in many other hits as well. He has starred in movies, such as Deadpool and The Greatest Showman, that have completely solidified his status on the big screen. He has spoken candidly about his training when becoming Wolverine and shared that he does not use steroids.

“So here’s the thing, he’s lying about the 6,000 calories and he’s lying about the steroids. He’s neither eating 6,000 calories not is this man natural.”

Doucette continued to discuss why he believes Jackman is also sharing false information about his diet plan.

Greg Doucette Believes Hugh Jackman Is Not Natural

Greg Doucette referenced a recent interview Hugh Jackman did with Jimmy Fallon. He shared that he has eaten 6,000 calories to put on the muscle necessary. While he was packing in calories, Jackman shared that it was clean calories, specifically mentioning tilapia and beans.

“I would bet, at most, he was consuming 3,000 calories and likely closer to 2,000 calories.

You’ve all watched the movie by now and so it was tilapia and beans. That was the secret. And so you really think this 55-year-old man had that body with no testosterone, no performance-enhancing drugs, and zero CGI?”

Aside from potentially gaining weight with a 6,000-calorie diet and no PEDs, Greg Doucette believes Jackman would be unable to get that level of conditioning naturally.

“Imagine eating 6,000 calories a day and looking like that at 55 years old. You know what, we’re going to have to imagine it because it’s not possible.”
