Hugh Jackman proved he's still got it on Monday as he showed off his ripped figure during a gruelling workout in Sydney.

The Australian actor, 56, showed off his bulging biceps in a singlet as he performed a shoulder press with dumbbells at a gym in Bondi.

The Wolverine star completed his look with black shorts as he lifted heavy weights under the guidance of celebrity trainer and his close friend Michael Ryan.

He was seen working up a sweat as he raised a weighted barbell and exercised his upper body muscles.

Following the intense training session, Hugh was seen taking a well deserved break and gulping water from his bottle.

The actor recently revealed what he eats to obtain his muscular but lean physique for his role as Wolverine.

One of his diet meals consisted of just three very tiny slices of fish, some steamed asparagus and a slice of lemon.

Generally, men require about 2500 calories a day to simply maintain their weight.

However, Hugh revealed last year that he was consuming up to 8,000 calories a day to ensure his body was in top shape to play the iconic superhero.

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

Hugh returned to Australia for the Christmas season with his children, Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19.

On Sunday, the Hollywood star was spotted visiting Speedos Café in the trendy seaside suburb of North Bondi.

Exclusive photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia show Hugh dining with a male friend while blending in amongst the cafe-goers.

Hugh was also accompanied by his two adopted children - whom he shares with his estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness.

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

Hugh 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.

The sighting comes after reports that Hugh's ex-wife Deb is said to have been 'seething with rage' over his rumoured new romance with Sutton Foster.

Hugh and Deb, 69, confirmed their separation after almost three decades together in September 2023, and he is now said to be dating Broadway star Sutton, 49.

It has been claimed that Deb was enraged at being 'the last to know' about the relationship.

According to Radaronline, Deb was especially unimpressed with Hugh's close friend Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively, who both allegedly 'kept quiet' about the rumoured romance.

'They kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh,' a source told the publication.

'Now she is seething with rage over being the last to know, Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and isn't afraid to use it.
'Debs feels cheated by all three because someone could have told her what was happening and they all chose to keep their mouths shut,' they added.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Deborra and Ryan's representatives for comment.

Hugh was reportedly planning to introduce his new partner Sutton 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 does 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.

The insider said 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.

The sighting comes after reports that Hugh's ex-wife Deb is said to have been 'seething with rage' over his rumoured new romance with Sutton Foster.

The pair have attended public events together, stepping out at the opening night of their show The Music Man on Broadway in February 2022.

In September 2023, Hugh shocked fans when he filed for divorce from Deb.

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