Hugh Jackman on Oscar Hosts Hathaway and Franco

February 07, 2011 Celebrity Highlights

"Extra's" AJ Calloway chatted with actor Hugh Jackman at the Audi Super Bowl party about upcoming Academy Award hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco.

"Anne helped me out when I hosted the Oscars, as you remember," said the "Wolverine" actor. "I think she's phenomenally talented. And James is one of the most versatile guys around, so between the two of them, I think they are going to be surprising and do a great, great job!"

Jackman is gearing up to play the razor sharp Wolverine once again in the tentatively titled "The Wolverine," and he's packing in the calories -- about 6,000 a day to be exact -- to get into shape. "Where's my meal?" joked the actor with Calloway. "I'll only do an interview if you feed me."

How does he do it? "It's very boring, really, every two hours, I have to eat steak or chicken with broccoli. But hey, it's Wolverine, got to get there!"
