“He might have tweeted, 'If the bar is bending, then you soon may be experiencing renal failure.' Turns out the insane 5000-calorie diets and intense two-a-day workout routines that actors like Jackman put themselves through to become superheroes are pretty bad for their long-term health,” it said.
