Speaking to the August issue of GQ Australia, he admitted the role proved to be something of a game-changer after his first appearance as Wolverine in director Bryan Singer’s 2000 blockbuster X-Men.
‘This has pretty much been the backbone of my career,’ he says. ‘It was the first (Hollywood) job I got and there have been a hell of a lot of jobs and opportunities I’ve had off of it.
‘When we started with this, comic-book movies were pretty much cold, it wasn’t really a genre.

‘I was excited to be able to ring the prime minister and tell her that this was win-win,’ he said of the decision to shoot the film in and around Sydney with Oscar-winning director James Mangold.

'He is blown away. And without movies like this it’s hard to keep that machine going.'
