First, actor Dominic Monaghan was Beak, and now he’s Bolt — and finally, we get a good look at him in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”
20th Century Fox raised some eyebrows when Monaghan was first announced in the role of Barnell “Beak” Bohusk in this week’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” A mutant who developed feathers and various other avian characteristics at an early age, Bohusk was criticized for his lack of heroic abilities — and was a strange addition to the film’s combat-minded cast of mutants. At some point in production, however, Monaghan’s role was changed to that of Chris Bradley, the electrical-powered mutant known as “Bolt.”
SPOILERS BEHIND THE CUT. DON’T CLICK IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE SPOILED.
We’ve already been told not to expect a shirtless Hugh on Sunday, but we refuse to give up all hope. So when we chatted with Jackman’s Wolverine costar Dominic Monaghan we pressed why exactly H.J. doesn’t just walk around naked all the time.
“Because he’s humble,” the cute, former Lostie dished. “I think he knows that he can make girls squirm, but he just is quite humble.”
That’s not the end of it.
So did you get a good look at Hugh’s bod during filming? He looks naked in every preview.
There would be scenes that he would just have to be! Just [Hugh] in his underwear. You can’t really help but check him out.
Did you like what you saw? Is his “sexy” title well deserved?
He actually is the sexiest man alive, and that’s coming from a heterosexual point of view. He’s the finest specimen of a male human I’ve ever seen in my life! I kept checking him out, and I was like, what is this muscle? How did that happen?
OK, then!
If we’ve learned anything from this chat it’s that you can count on us to purchase our Wolverine tickets in May. What better promotion is there than “Hugh Jackman” and “underwear” in one sentence? Still think Jack-doll would score much better Oscar ratings too if he showed a little bit of skin. Humble, shmumble.
