Hugh Jackman: I used to suffer from blind rage

Actor has found ways of expressing his fury

Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine in 3 X-Men movies

Hugh Jackman had anger issues when he was growing up.

‘I used to suffer that blind rage when I was younger,’ says the actor.

‘Like all teenagers, aged 13 or 14, I was angry and I was glad I played rugby. I got a lot of angst out on the sports field. A bit of controlled violence.

‘I think most people experience a berserk rage on a daily basis, whether in traffic or whatever.’

But Hugh, 40, says playing comic book character Wolverine has given him a way of expressing his frustrations.

‘I am saving a lot of money on therapy by doing this role,’ he tells The Sun. ‘Primal screams and all that.

‘Wolverine is more extreme, he is never comfortable. He is part animal, part human. We are all a bit like that.’

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is out now.
