“He’s lying, it’s cap”: IFBB Pro Greg Doucette doubts Hugh Jackman’s chicken & green beans diet, claiming he used steroids to prepare for his role
IFBB Pro Greg Doucette recently commented on Deadpool & Wolverine superstar Hugh Jackman, claiming that he had taken steroids to beef up for his portrayal of the iconic character.
Jackman is known for making insane transformations for his movies, and he has done it again for Deadpool & Wolverine. He recently went to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and shared his dieting regimen that helped him look ripped on the big screen. But Doucette had his doubts about the reliability of the diet.
Greg Doucette recently uploaded a video on his YouTube channel accusing Hugh Jackman of using steroids and appetite-suppressing drugs. He explained it by giving the example of Mr. Olympia's competitors who do cardio for hours and consume around 1,500 calories per day in their peak weeks. The competitors don't drink water for days and starve themselves, along with using all kinds of PEDs.
About Hugh Jackman claiming to go on a 6,000-calorie diet, Doucette said:
"As those calories are healthy green bean tilapia, and chicken, it's all going to turn to muscle. You're going to get jacked with that exquisite-looking six-pack here to tell you that's cap, and so there's a far greater chance that this guy was taking ozempic or some form of a semaglutide or GLP-1 agonist."

Coach Greg compared Hugh Jackman's scenario with Thor's scene and highlighted the use of CGI in movies.
"Remember Thor when they ripped off his clothes and he looked like he was in the Mr Olympia and his muscles were bulging? You're thinking, Oh, it's all steroids; it's steroids sure, but it's also CGI; they're literally morphing those physiques.
He continued:
"You may as well say they drew a picture and it looked like Hugh Jackman; it looked like Thor, and so when you're comparing your body to that of those men in the movies, it's not real; it's make believe it's a cartoon," explained Greg Doucette. [06:12]
When Greg Doucette had doubted Hugh Jackman's calorie consumption for beefing up for Deadpool & Wolverine
In another video on his YouTube channel a year ago, coach Greg Doucette had called out Jackman's bulking-up diet he initially had adapted for his role in Deadpool & Wolverine.
According to the report shared by Variety, the 55-year-old actor had increased his daily calories to 8,000 a day. He ate black bass consisting of 2,000 calories, Patagonia salmon with 2,100 calories and two grass-fed sirloins with 1,100 calories for his bulk.
"Clearly, just use common sense and look at these pictures. Does it actually look like there's 8000 calories in the picture provided? I mean, looking at these packages to consider the bottom packages have 2000 calories each and a thousand more in the top.
He continued:
"I simply don't believe it. If that's 8000 calories a day, then I don't eat 3500 calories. I eat eight thousand. There's no way on Earth that this is actually 8000 calories," explained Greg Doucette. [05:15]
