Actor Hugh Jackman says he doesn't see himself as a well built hunk the way he appears in movies.

Jackman, 44, has flaunted his perfect abs in "The X-Men" franchise as Wolverine.

"I still see myself as this skinny long-legged person. That body I have is for 'The Wolverine.' I did work on it but it's not my natural body, and I get a hard time for it," Cosmopolitan magazine quoted Jackman as saying.

The actor says his wife Deborra-Lee Furness expects him to be fat, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Deb tells me 'Your job as my husband is to be fat and schlubby', so no matter what's going on with me, I look great," he said.
