Hugh Jackman Admits He Never Knew What A Wolverine Was
Honey Badger don't care. And neither does Wolverine.
Hugh Jackman, AKA X-Men's Wolverine, admitted to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show that he'd studied wolves before his first film with the X-Men. He mistakenly thought a wolverine was a type of wolf.
For those of you who also don't know, a wolverine is a real animal, native to arctic and subarctic areas (see the connection now with Logan and Alaska?), and renowned for having a super bad temper when provoked. If you corner a wolverine, it will go bananas on you, fighting like the kind of berserker we've seen in Jackman's Wolverine.
So it worked out...but to be honest, I think the better berserker mutant was done with Logan's mini-me, Laura (from the excellent film, "Logan").
This 3 minute video, for example, is nuts. Watch as an annoyed wolverine takes on a black bear, a creature no one else in the history of forever would think of pestering. By the end, you're kind of feeling bad for the bear. You go, you small ferocious weirdo:
A wolverine is a carnivore in the Mustelidae family, existing alongside other easily irked animals like the weasel, the skunk, and infamously, the bizarre honey badger. And remember, Honey Badger don't care. After seeing this viral, strange, and very funny video, I wonder how Jackman would have felt if his character was called Logan, the Honey Badger:
This last 4.26 minute video calls wolverines the honey badgers of the north, pulling it all together. It's a lot of fun. And educational! Always a great combo:
According to an interview with The Economic Times, Mr. Jackman is a fan of the RunPee app, and likes to check his own movies to see if his scenes get turned into Peetimes. We love hearing this kind of thing. If I was a celebrity, I'd check my films on the app too. ;-)
