"For Wolverine, I ramp it up," Jackman, pictured here in The Wolverine, told Men's Health. "I do an hour and a half a day in the gym and eat 1,000 calories more a day than I would normally. And I train really hard. I crank up the Godsmack and Metallica. I yell and scream, which helps me get into the character and have a bitch of a workout."

“For my whole life it’s been training, just being on set, you have to be fit," Cruise, pictured here in Rock of Ages, once told Ryan Seacrest. "Because at the end of the day you have to be just as fresh at the beginning of the day."
“For my whole life it’s been training, just being on set, you have to be fit. Because at the end of the day you have to be just as fresh at the beginning of the day. So, there is just the baseline fitness, and then there’s the specific training for that particular movie that sometimes takes, for ‘The Last Samurai’ I trained for a year 5 hours a day to be able to move the sword in that way. This film you saw what we were doing, the dancing, the singing, and that was a new world for me. It was like I’ve trained for stunts for my other films.” – See more at: http://ryanseacrest.com/2012/06/11/tc-audio/#sthash.AzTL43Gr.dpuf“For my whole life it’s been training, just being on set, you have to be fit.

The actor, seen here in Fast & Furious 6, told Men's Health that his workout regimen has changed over time. "At this stage in my life I'm trying to tweak out every body part," he said. "When I was younger I was trying to gain as much weight as possible. Now I focus on each body part to define it. I shock the muscle with two sets of power lifting and then go into higher-rep sets afterwards."
