Hugh Jackman's Nickname Is Sticks Back Home

Hugh Jackman! That's the way to do it! Come on. That's the way to do it. I'm in training. Can I just ask why? I'm in training. You're in training for what? I don't know. What does that mean? I don't know what that is. Yeah. I don't know what we just did, but it was great. I'm in training for the Tony Awards. I'm hosting the Tony Awards. That's right. Yep. And, uh... June 8th is the Tony Awards. I cannot wait. You're an amazing host. It'll all make sense on the night. All of that. All of that bouncing. Will make sense. Yeah, and that will make sense. No, that won't make sense. But June 8th is... Good luck to you, by the way. Well, thank you. Hosting your tonight show with the stars. You're going to go on that, right? Yeah, I'm going to go on hosting the tonight show with the stars. I can't wait. I think I have a pretty good edge, but I don't know. Hopefully I win, yeah. Good luck with that, man. That was crazy. I'm out of breath. You see, and you're not. That's the difference between us. I'm so out of shape. But here you are. Tony's, I would say, Tony's are a big deal to me, especially as a host. Out of all the award shows, I love that because people actually perform what they're nominated for. It's like you get the greatest hits of Broadway, you know, like 12 pieces from the best shows on Broadway, they're live. So if you can't get to every show, which is pretty much everyone, even if you live here, just watch the Tony Awards. It's all there. And they're all on there. And it's like, but singing and dancing, I was like, the Academy Awards, I love that too. But Tony's are like, you're nominated. Go show us what you're nominated for. Yeah, right. It's like, whoa, you put me on the spot. Like, people just go up. But like, I don't know. You watched the Emmys, didn't you? I did. Because I remember Glenn Weiss, who's the producer, said, you're the best. He said, you're the best guy. Not the best host, but he said, you're the best guy. No. You're the best guy. Best guy. Yeah, yeah. He's a pal. Did you have a good time doing that? I had a great time hosting that stuff. It's great. Like, well, now I'm hosting for a living. I liked it that much, I decided to make it my whole career. Great job of it. What a great job. Great job of it. Please, thank you very much. This is like... Look at this. You get singing, dancing. You're ripped. You're a ripped action star right there. Yeah. Hugh Jackman. Ripped. This is the way to do it. It's embarrassing? No, that's not. When the photographer says, straighten your arm. I'm like, why? Because now I will get the tricep. And I feel really stupid. And then that's the photo. Look at that. Really? You want to see? Well, let me try. No one stands like that. Yeah, no. People stand like that when they're in a fight. Come at me like you're going to get in a fight with me. Ready? Hey, man. How are you? What's up? Sorry, man. You cool? I wasn't looking. You good? Everything cool? I really wasn't looking. You good? Everything cool here? All good. All under control? You look ripped, man. You look awesome. Thank you very much. Wow. Yeah. Thank you very much. Unbelievable. But you think this is... No. This is so funny. Because men's health, I love men's health. I was on the cover of men's health before the Tonight Show. Here's my cover. And this is real. Look at that. I'm, like, clapping. I'm, like, shaking hands with an invisible man. Yours says, Hugh Jackman, ripped. Mine says, burned fat. Come on! I bet you'll solve more, man. You'll solve more. I don't think so. But, man, oh, man. You're ripped. I see you. Last time we were here, you were eating, like, 12 chicken breasts. Thank you for that, by the way. Thank you. No problem. That's a George Foreman grill, man. And then you tweeted out this picture of you working out. I mean, look at this weight. Yeah. Yeah, no, ridiculous. Silly. I mean, that is insane. And also insane. That was insane. Those little toes sneakers you have on. They don't seem safe to me. Why would you... Are those your workout shoes? Yeah. When I'm doing deadlifts. So I don't slip on the floor. It's a whole thing. But let's... Yeah. There's no safe shoe when you're deadlifting like that. I mean, if that thing lands on you, you're not walking again. Look how skinny your legs are, too. Yeah, right. They do. I mean, look again. I don't think you look close enough. Look how skinny your legs are. They're very, very tiny. It's amazing how you lift that much weight. You have no idea. Shocking. All my mates at home are laughing. So they call me Sticks. They really did. In real life? Yes. No, in real life. For about 12 years. Sticks. Really? Just skinny legs. Yeah, but it's good. Now you're Wolverine. Now I'm Wolverine. Exactly. That's what I'm talking about.
