Hugh Jackman believes that his legendary Wolverine persona should not be looked up to by young people.
The 54-year-old Australian actor also discussed his personal treatment experience and how it ‘radically’ impacted his life.
When host Laura Kuenssberg inquired if the X-Men star was a decent role model.
‘I don’t think Wolverine should be your only role model for masculinity,’ he said during Sunday’s installment of the BBC show.
‘What drew me to him wasn’t his superhero abilities but the pain he is trying to live with and trying to reconcile.
‘He isn’t a nice man but ultimately he is a good man,’ he added.

After agreeing to reprise the role for Deadpool 3 at the request of Ryan Reynolds, The Greatest Showman star already claimed he’ll have to train for six months to return to peak Wolverine shape.
Jackman recently revealed that while he ‘completely meant’ Logan to be his final appearance as Wolverine, the thought of returning has always been ‘lurking and simmering’ in his mind.
But, much to the surprise of fans everywhere, the renowned actor ultimately said yes in September last year.
Reynolds made the revelation in a funny video in which he teased that he had ‘except one’ idea for the upcoming Deadpool picture.
When Hugh Jackman entered the frame, Reynolds asked, ‘Hey Hugh, want to play Wolverine one last time?’ to which the actor casually replied: ‘Yeah, sure Ryan’
the actor said nonchalantly.
Jackman and Reynolds are famed for their false feud, which is claimed to have started when they worked together on the 2009 blockbuster picture X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
The Deadpool character first appeared on the big screen in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine before getting his own spin-off series.
