STAGGERING

how the actor Hugh Jackman bulks up to play the mutant Wolverine. Hugh’s daily 8,000 calorie food plan involves a dish of black bass (2,000 calories), a salmon dish ( 2,100 calories), two chicken burgers (around 1,000 calories each) and two grass-fed sirloin steaks (1,100 calories each.)

Many women find hairy old Wolverine oddly attractive, but dinner with him sounds a drag. You’d be stuck there for hours.
