Hugh Jackman leaves fans doing a double-take as he spills his beauty secrets

Hugh Jackman always looks good, and now he's giving fans a brief glimpse and just what goes into keeping him looking so fresh all the time.

The Wolverine star took to Instagram to share a snap of himself with bronze gel pad masks underneath his eyes, as a way of banishing bags and tiredness. The actor, 55, seemed to be holding back a smile, which formed a thin line on his mouth, as he took the photo - clearly able to see the funny side of the photo.

He captioned the photo: "This is 55", clearly referring to the things he does to keep himself looking sharp at his age. But his fans seemed to mistake the post as an acknowledgement of his birthday, which led to them wishing him a happy 55th.

One person corrected them all, explaining: "It’s not his birthday yall his birthday is October 12."

His fans still seemed to love the photo, wishing him well in his beauty routine. One person commented:  "Still handsome as ever", with another concurring: "you continue to be the best wine in the cellar!!!"

A third fan chimed in with a tip of their own: "Go old school Hugh: Haemorrhoid cream works wonders", caveating that they didn't mean the ointment before adding: "Ryan Reynolds probably has lots" as a joke.

A fourth added: "Eye masks are great! I use them and I’m 45."

Hugh seemed to be taking some well-deserved me time as he was on a promo tour for Deadpool and Wolverine with long time friend Ryan Reynolds , as they spent some time in South Korea together.
