Actor Hugh Jackman is happy that he is no longer dieting for his 'Wolverine' roles.

The 48-year-old actor, who made his eighth and final appearance as the Marvel Comics character in "Logan", says he is "loving" being able to enjoy all sorts of food as now that he does not have to maintain his body for the role, reported Femalefirst.

"Now I'm eating and loving it. Sometimes waking up at two in the morning just to have breakfast cereal, and then go back to bed. With it still in my lap," he says on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert'.
 

"It's sort of unbelievable to me, what I did for 17 years. The first one, I thought you could get into shape in three weeks. The director pushed all the 'shirt off' scenes to the very end. You stop drinking water about 30 hours before you shoot. You lose ten pounds of water weight," he adds.
