Still in superhero shape! Hugh Jackman shows off his very muscular frame as he goes shirtless while enjoying a swim down North Bondi

Hugh Jackman showed off his impressive muscles as he went for a swim in the sunshine down North Bondi in Sydney on Wednesday.

The Australian actor, 56, proved he is keeping in superhero shape as he flaunted his buff physique during his day out at the beach.

He put his muscular frame on display as he went shirtless in a pair of black patterned board shorts while having a dip in the sea.

Hugh appeared to be in good spirits as he laughed and joked with his longtime personal trainer and friend Michael Ryan.

Hugh cooled off amid the humid climes with a swim in the sea and then chatted with Michael as they strolled up the beach together.

Celebrity fitness trainer Michael has long been responsible for getting Hugh in tip-top shape to play superhero Wolverine.

And Hugh proved he hasn't let his hard work go to waste as he continued to show off his enviable physique during his day out at the beach.

Hugh, who most recently reprised his most iconic role in 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine, has previously shared exactly how he maintains his buff physique to play Wolverine.

Last year, Hugh revealed that he was consuming up to 8,000 calories a day to play the legendary superhero.

Generally, men require about 2,500 calories a day to simply maintain their weight.

Hugh said it takes him around six months of hardcore training to physically prepare for his return as Wolverine.

Hugh is currently back in Australia to spend the Christmas season with his children, Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, after his split from his wife Deborra-Lee Furness.

Oscar and Ava appear to be spending the holidays with Hugh this year following their parents' split in September 2023. It is unclear if their mother is also returning to Australia for Christmas.

Hugh - who lives in New York - and his children are likely staying at his stunning $12million North Bondi penthouse.

Hugh purchased the luxury low-rise apartment for $5.9million in 2015. The three-bedroom property has panoramic ocean views and luxury finishes throughout.

Hugh was reportedly planning to introduce his rumoured new partner Sutton Foster to his and Deb's children Oscar and Ava over the festive period.

However, Deb was allegedly 'not keen on the idea' with a source claiming that she did not want a 'blended' family Christmas.

'It's a delicate balancing act and he feels like if anyone is going to spend less time with the kids this year, it's him,' they added.

In September 2023, Hugh shocked fans when he filed for divorce from Deb after almost three decades of marriage.

'We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,' the couple said in a joint statement at the time.

'Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.'

Months later, rumours began to swirl that Hugh and Broadway star Sutton, 49, had grown close, with insiders telling PageSix that they are now 'in love'.

'They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,' an insider told the publication.

'They are still together. They go out of their way to hide it, but it's common knowledge.'

Another insider claimed Hugh and Sutton are determined to make their relationship work and are keeping things low-key at the moment.

Hugh and Sutton took on the roles of Harold Hill and Marian Paroo in The Music Man, which ran from February 2022 to January 2023 at the Winter Garden Theatre in Manhattan.
