Australian actor Hugh Jackman, who’s currently riding high with the success of his latest film Logan, has revealed that acting legends Jerry Seinfeld and Sir John Gielgud had inspired him to take up the Wolverine mantle for the ninth and final time.

“(Gielgud) said how he played Hamlet 10 times in his life because he never felt he quite got it. I haven’t had quite 10 but I was really determined, whether it was my best or not, to get everything out that I had ever felt I wanted to say about this character, what he represented,” Hugh reportedly told Daily Telegraph.

According to Dailymail.co.uk, Hugh also revealed that talking to comedian Jerry Seinfeld about retiring from the character while he was on top, was why he wanted this movie to be his last as the iconic X-Men character.
