Hugh Jackman has been keeping busy since he and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, announced they were separating.
The Greatest Showman star joined Taylor Swift at an American Football game in New York City on Sunday, shaking off the divorce blues, before taking to Instagram on Tuesday to share how he's managing heartbreak.
Hugh laughed as he performed exercises on a bench and power rack, turning to the camera and laughing jovially, captioning the clip: "Hurts so good," garnering praise from his legions of loyal followers.
"Wolfie you look awesome!" one wrote, with another adding: "Mate, you gettin’ those wolverine gainz back in!" A third agreed: "Darn Wolverine and his muscles!"

“Dopamine, our reward chemical kicks in very quickly when we exercise, which is a nice way of feeling much more positive,” exercise psychologist Dr. Josephine explains.
As for how exercise helps us overcome dilemmas, Dr. Josephine adds: “With exercise, if we've been trying to solve a problem we can get caught up in our thoughts. When we exercise, our brain is still working away in the background trying to fix it, but we don't actively focus on it, so we can get some really good answers.”

At the time, he said he had undergone two biopsies, after his doctor suspected basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer.

"Could be or could not be basal cell. In [my doctor's] opinion, she doesn't know. I'll find out in two or three days and as soon as I know, I'll let you know." Watch his full message below...
Luckily, several days later, Hugh shared good news, explaining: "My biopsies came back negative!!! Thank you ALL for the love. I feel it!"
We bet the negative result came as a huge relief, as he has had skin cancer several times over the years, with his first diagnosis occurring in 2013.
