We admit that celebrities probably have some major advantages when it comes to staying healthy as they age.

Have you ever wondered how Wolverine stays so, well, jacked? In a nutshell, Hugh Jackman, 43, is a fitness machine. Besides swimming in the ocean daily, running the odd seven or eight miles, and dancing on Broadway, Jackman likes to stay fit with boxing.

"A boxing class is about as good a workout as you can have," he recently told The Huffington Post. "If you need to lose a little bit of weight and you want to do it in a way that is tough but engaging and not boring, boxing is the way to do it."

Several months ago I saw myself in the shower and I'm much hotter than any of these guys. And I don't say things that someone else wrote or stand where some director tells me to stand. I have done that, but I was too great for the business.
