Daniel Radcliffe reacts to rumours on replacing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has reacted to speculations about him replacing Hugh Jackman in the superhero series Wolverine.

Radcliffe addressed the rumours during a lie detector interview with his “Merrily We Roll Along” costars Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez.

During the interaction, the 34-year-old highlighted why he had got the buff. “Yes. I got buff because I am obsessive, and I want to… You’ve seen my parents, they’re like insane fitness people. So that’s just been passed on. But no. No Wolverine. Flattered, but no,” said Radcliffe.

His amazing transformation and physique in 4 the finale of Miracle Workers gave wind to speculations about him as Wolverine.

During the interaction, Radcliffe highlighted other insane rumours that he has heard about himself.

“That I had the [UK Special Air Service] walk my dogs. That I had special beer brewed for myself by monks in a monastery in Belgium,” said Radcliffe.

“That I used to get my assistant to hold my scripts in the mirror so I could read it while I was having makeup done — even though that doesn’t make sense because I wouldn’t be able to read mirror writing. There’s a long list,” explained the Harry Potter star.

Meanwhile, Jackman is set to play Wolverine in “Deadpool 3” which is set for a May 2024 release. The 55-year-old will star alongside Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming movie. In September, Jackman parted ways with his former wife Deborra-lee after being married for 27 years.
