Take. It. Off.
Those were the words running through our minds when Hugh Jackman appeared on Live! With Kelly and Michael this morning, where co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan managed to convince the Wolverine hunk to strip down.
Unfortunately, this is a morning show, so the segment was rather G-rated, but hey, we'll take any excuse for a peek at the A-lister's abs.
While playing a game called "Hugh In or Hugh Out," Ripa explained, "We're going to ask you questions and you will answer them truthfully. For each incorrect answer, you will have to remove one article of clothing," causing the audience to erupt into cheers.
Jackman was then asked about a wide range of topics from skinny-dipping (he's in!) to tattoos (he's out!) to Googling himself (out again) and even the television show Naked and Afraid (he had yet to hear about the series).
According to Kelly, who was clearly eager to see Jackman strip, the actor provided a number of incorrect responses and was forced to remove an article of clothing one by one.
First he removed his shoes, then came the blazer and finally, he flashed those famous abs.
As for Speedos? Hugh is also out on that topic, leading Ripa to exclaim, "Show us!"
Cue a brief glance of Jackson's undies as the audience swoons with delight.
The Les Mis star also addressed his buffed-up bod during his appearance on the show, admitting he hits the gym at 5:35 every morning (talk about dedication!).
When it comes to cheat meals, the handsome thesp, who is currently preparing for his role in the upcoming X-Men flick, admits, "I love beer. Lasagna. I like sweet, like ice cream. It's simple foods. Like I will have cereal at 10 at night and love it. Just sit in my underwear eating cereal."
Oh, what we would give to see a shot of that!
