Many fans commented on the snap with one saying ‘What happened to your face man?’ whist another said ‘Dude you look old not normal old really old! I looked you up and your only 47’.

The comments didn’t end there, one shocked fan said ‘You don’t look well!’ with another asking ‘Did you not sleep well Hugh?’

Some fans have speculated his new appearance could be to do with his role in the brand new Wolverine film. Hugh is reprising his role as the X-Men legend for the eight time and is currently filming the movie.

Hugh confirmed Wolverine 3 would be based on the comic book ‘old Man Logan’ which could explain the new image. Speaking at Comic-Con ‘Old Man Logan’ writer Mark Millar said the film will follow a mutant in his final days after surviving the extinction of the X-Men.

The film is expected to arrive in March 2017.
