Hugh Jackman is auctioning off the chance to bulk up with him at the gym for a cool $20K



Jackman is in the process of adding 20 pounds to his already muscular frame for the sequel to Wolverine. The money raised will benefit New York City's Summit School for children with learning and adjustment challenges.

"If someone comes in and says, ‘I want to try it exactly how you train. I want to just go as hard as we can,' we'll go there," Jackman told E! Online’s Marc Malkin. "But I don't want people to feel intimidated if they want to come experience it but not keel over. Put it this way, if you want to throw up, there's every opportunity," he added. "But if you want to come and have a light sweat — want to have a bit of fun, maybe an autograph or two — you can do that as well."

The actor also said that for an extra $5K, he’ll work out shirtless.

"Sure. No problem. You know me, I'm a whore. I think I was shirtless for the whole time in my first movie in Australia, and I think I only made about $4,000."

Here are the first two photos from DreamWorks Studios’ Real Steel, which Opens in theaters on November 18, 2011. The Shawn Levy-directed film stars Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly, Dakota Goyo, Kevin Durand and Anthony Mackie.

Official Synopsis:
A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future, where the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech, “Real Steel” stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

The only person I’ve nailed in for sure is Hugh Jackman. It’s all over the place.” That’s interesting to note because in January Deadline reported that Robert De Niro was on board to play Alabama Governor George Wallace in the film, which is about the historic march from Selma to the state capital in Montgomery.
