Hugh Jackman, who ended his relationship with Deborra Lee-Furness, answered one of the most anticipated questions of all time in a new interview.

After the 57-year-old sparked controversy by seemingly “mending reputation,” Hugh appeared on The Howard Stern Show.

The host labelled the iconic character of Wolverine as a “gold mine,” asking him why did he “walk away” from that and if any “sh*thead had to do with this?”

The Greatest Showman star cleared the air, saying he did reconsider getting back to the role after initially saying no. He reminded himself: “Put it out of your head.”

Hugh revealed he was on vacation when the Grammy winner reflected on his choice: “What do you want?” to which he affirmed: “I want to play Wolverine, and I wanna do Deadpool-Wolverine.”

That was the moment when the actor contacted Ryan Reynolds and admitted: “I want to do Deadpool 3. I am a 100% serious.”

After taking the chance, the Primetime Emmy award winner revealed he felt “so good” and “so easy.”

What did Howard Stern say about Hugh Jackman?

Elsewhere in the interview, Hugh was complimented by Howard for being handsome, however, his explicit remarks raised questions.

The host, who cleared the air regrading controversy with Kim Kardashian, offered the Hollywood A-list star to engage in a sexual activity, noting his amazing looks at the age.
