Wolverine Inspired by De Niro
Hugh Jackman took cues from Robert De Niro to prepare for X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hugh Jackman credited Robert De Niro's performance in Cape Fear as inspiration for his work on X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Jackman said:
"I wanted to look like De Niro did when he took off his shirt in Cape Fear and everyone went, 'Whoa.' You realized the guy was a freak."
Jackman defended the role of Logan/Wolverine, feral anti-hero, saying:
"Wolverine's fun and cool, but I wouldn't be down for my fourth time doing it if there wasn't something more interesting to it than just slicing and dicing and smoking a cigar and saying a few cool lines."
