Hugh Jackman Surprises Local Gym with Regular Visits

Hugh Jackman, the renowned Hollywood actor, has made headlines after becoming a regular at Focus Gym in Henley-on-Thames, much to the surprise of its manager, Jules Greenway. Jackman, known for his roles in films like "Wolverine" and "Les Misérables," was in the UK filming his latest project, "Three Bags Full," alongside Emma Thompson. Greenway expressed his astonishment at Jackman's presence, noting that the actor was "very, very lovely" and always willing to engage in conversation with both staff and gym-goers. The gym manager revealed that the film's production team had reached out to the facility prior to Jackman's arrival, but the actual visit still caught everyone off guard. Members of the gym were thrilled to see the star, often returning more frequently just to catch a glimpse of him. Greenway mentioned that the excitement among patrons led to an increase in gym attendance, as many came in for water and to see the actor in person. Jackman is not the first celebrity to frequent Focus Gym; Orlando Bloom had previously trained there for a film role in September of last year. Meanwhile, Jackman's latest film, "Deadpool and Wolverine," premiered to mixed reviews in cinemas worldwide. "Three Bags Full" is anticipated to hit theaters in early 2026, according to reports from Variety.
