The actor, 56, enjoyed a day in the sun on Bondi Beach in his native Australia on Monday, Dec. 16. Jackman took a dip in the ocean wearing a pair of blue-and-white patterned drawstring board shorts.

While strolling on the beach, Jackman put his chest hair and massive muscles on display, clearly still in tip-top shape from his latest turn as Wolverine. Earlier this year, the actor starred as his X-Men character in Deadpool & Wolverine alongside pal Ryan Reynolds.

"Ryan does leave me a voicemail every third day or so that just says, 'Until you're 90,'" Jackman added, referencing joke from their movie in which Deadpool tells Wolverine that Disney will make him play the character for that long.
