Actor Hugh Jackman has shaved his famous sideburns which he had been donning for his role as Marvel character Wolverine after the filming for "The Wolverine 3" wrapped up.

After wrapping the shoot of "The Wolverine 3", which marks his final appearance as the clawed mutant, Jackman took to Twitter to share a video featuring him shaving off his beard, reports aceshowbiz.com.

In the eight-second-long video, Jackman can be seen staring into the mirror while using an electric razor to remove his iconic sideburns.

"Goodbye. My wife is going to be very happy. Goodbye chops, The Debs," the 47-year-old actor captioned the image which he shared on his Instagram account.

 

Jackman had confirmed his final appearance as the clawed mutant in May last year.

"This will be my last one. It is my last time. It felt like it was the right time to do it. Seventeen years, I never thought in a million years it would last this long," he said.

"The Wolverine 3" film also sees the return of actor Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier.

The film also stars Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant, Stephen Merchant and Elise Neal.

Directed by James Mangold from a screenplay written by Michael Green, the final "Wolverine" solo film will be set in the future, where super villains have taken control over the world.

It is scheduled to release next year.
