First Published: October 3, 2011 5:53 PM EDT Credit: Getty Images LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Caption Hugh Jackman steps out at the Real Steel Los Angeles premiere at The Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif. on October 2, 2011Hugh Jackman is no stranger to countless hours in the gym and shoveling heaps of protein in his mouth for his roles, but for the upcoming big screen version of the musical Les Miserables, the actor will enjoy some dietary freedom. Tom Hooper from The Kings Speech is directing it, Hugh told AccessHollywood.coms Laura Saltman at the Real Steel Los Angeles premiere on Sunday when asked about his next project. Im very excited about that. The actor, who plays Jean Valjean in the musical, is looking forward to letting go of his usual big screen beefcake status. I have to kind of age 19 years during the movie, which is pretty much how you feel during a movie, so it should just be all natural, Hugh explained. But this time, instead of eating steamed chicken during the movie, Ill just eat whatever I want. Perfect. Youll see me at the craft table! Fans might also be seeing the actor in another musical setting. Someone asked me the other day if I would be on Glee, and I said, Yeah. Im trained to say yes to everything. Well see, he said. [Matthew Morrison] is fantastic. Im a big fan of his Ill use [Les Mis] as a warm up [for Glee.] Les Miserables is slated to hit the big screen in December 2012. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc.
