Known for his striking looks and action-hero physique, Hugh Jackman, 56, surprised fans by revealing a dramatic transformation for his next film role.
The Wolverine star shared a behind-the-scenes video on his social media on Tuesday (March 25), showcasing the makeup process to portray a legendary figure from English folklore in “The Death of Robin Hood”.

In the video, Jackman is seen sitting in a dressing room chair, draped in a cape, as the makeup team carefully removes traces of his transformation. With meticulous precision, the stylists undo his hairstyle, trim his hair, and peel off a thick brown mustache — completely dismantling the look that brought the legendary outlaw to life.

Despite the nearly unrecognizable appearance, the actor still flashes his signature cheeky smile. In the video caption, he wrote with emotion:
“There’s a depth, camaraderie, and spirit throughout the entire cast and crew of The Death of Robin Hood. Thank you for this incredible experience. An honor and a privilege. Thank you, Ireland! Your beauty knows no bounds.”
In addition to his iconic role as Wolverine, Hugh Jackman is also beloved by musical theatre fans. Among his most celebrated stage works are The Boy from Oz, The Music Man, and Oklahoma!, which solidified his reputation as a talented singer and dancer.
The transformation for “The Death of Robin Hood” comes amid rumors that Jackman plans to marry actress Sutton Foster, his Broadway co-star. The relationship became public in January, nearly two years after announcing the end of his 27-year marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness.
