"I am grateful," the dad-of-two, 55, captioned the hot shot, which was "liked" by costar Channing Tatum and a few other celebs, including Pedro Pascal and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
Fans marveled over his chiseled look, with one person commenting, "I am so so so grateful! 🔥."
"Thank you for sharing 💪🏽," another admirer wrote, while Olympian Lindsey Vonn declared, "All those days in the gym paid off!"
The actor had to start a new workout routine to get in shape for 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'
The next day, the Music Man lead posted two photos wearing a cream sweater, cheekily captioning the picture, "…. time to put some layers on."

"But the hardest bit...the food. For me, for my body type, I’m naturally skinny. To get the size on, that’s the hardest bit," he said of inhaling around 8,000 calories a day to build muscle. "That’s the bit that does my head in. It’s not like the type of food that you would really necessarily enjoy."

Costar and longtime friend Ryan Reynolds admitted he "couldn’t believe" the Logan star's transformation.
"Just the sheer relentlessness that you dedicated yourself towards stunts, choreography. It was the first time I’d ever seen how invaluable a background in song and dance is when you are doing an action movie," the dad-of-four, 47, raved to Jackman. "You hit your marks in those fight scenes with speed and confidence, the likes of which I have never seen. I don’t care if you were 25, 35, 45 or 55. It was lightning."
Jackman and costar Ryan Reynolds have been friends for over a decade.
While filming the superhero flick, Jackman suffered a minor finger injury and had to temporarily wear a cast, but that was nothing compared to the accidents he endured filming the other Wolverine flicks.

One of the scariest incidents occurred while filming 2013's The Wolverine, as his neck got caught in equipment while swinging around.
"I just remember hanging up there on the wires and everyone just stops, and I got sent home because I was a little in shock about it," he recalled, noting that though people thought he initially broke a vertebrae, it ended up being just a muscular injury.
