Contact Music (via Business Standard) spoke with Hugh Jackman, who revealed that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson helped him get into shape for The Wolverine with a suggestion of a 6,000 calorie a day diet.
He said: “I called my buddy The Rock for tips. I lost weight doing ‘Les Miserables’. He said, ‘Here’s the deal – three hours in the gym and 6,000 calories, eating very lean. You gotta do that for six months.’ I did it and let me tell you, The Rock is crazy! He is insane. But we did it and the results are there.”
His diet mostly consisted of protein-filled chicken breasts, which Jackman says he can no longer eat. He added: “Let me just say, I will not be eating chicken breasts for lunch anymore.”

Lanny Poffo On The McMahon/Savage Issues
– Lanny Poffo was a guest on Live Audio Wrestling Sunday night.
Here are the highlights…
The issue between Vince McMahon and Randy Savage: “If I didn’t have the guts to ask Randy to his face about what you’re referring to, then I wouldn’t dare speculate about it now.”
If the WWE has contacted the family about the Hall of Fame: “I got a call from John Laurinaitis before the Miami (WrestleMania), the year before last. He was real nice to me, he just forgot to extend his condolences. I’m from the old school; even if you’re glad he’s dead, just pretend like you loved him and extend your condolences. That’s all I ask. He was just trying to get my feedback on that. I said, ‘Go ahead and do it, but make sure you play the video of the Huckster and the Nacho Man,’ so he can keep it even.”
