Hugh Jackman says his voice was damaged by 'screaming,' 'yelling' and 'growling' in 'Wolverine' movies

Hugh Jackman revealed that playing the mutant Logan/Wolverine in the "X-Men" movies and Marvel Cinematic Universe took a toll on his singing voice.

The 54-year-old actor, who recently finished his year-long run starring in the Broadway musical "The Music Man," admitted that some of the acting that was required of his iconic role damaged his voice. "I've done some damage to my voice with "Wolverine," Jackman said during an interview on BBC Radio 4's "Front Row" show.

He continued, "My falsetto is not as strong as it used to be and that I directly put down to some of the growling and yelling." "My voice teacher in drama school would've been horrified by some of the things I did because we've learned the technique of how to shout and how to yell without ruining your voice." "However, during "Wolverine," I did some screaming and yelling and things that I think did damage my voice, which I think I'm working on," Jackman added.  "I work with a singing teacher, and I make sure that I try not to hurt myself," he explained. "And I really put a lot of effort into both physical movement and my vocal preparation for every role." "The Greatest Showman star" has played Wolverine in nine movies and is set to reprise his role in the upcoming "Deadpool 3" opposite Ryan Reynolds.

Jackman set a Guinness World Record for the "longest career as a Marvel character" before Patrick Stewart surpassed him in 2021.
