Hugh Jackman Accused of Taking Steroids

According to British publication handbag.com, Hugh Jackman is fuming over reports that he took illegal steroids to bulk up for his role in the latest X-Men movie.

The Australian actor is said to have changed his physique dramatically to reprise his character of Wolverine in "X-Men: The Last Stand" - but according to Hugh, it was because of his dedication and hard work.

Hugh reveals, "I would never take steroids, I think nothing is worse. I had to do an hour and a half in the gym every morning.

"But there were some special effects too, They even managed to make Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart look years younger."
