It’s no longer a secret that Hugh Jackman is one of the fittest, most toned actors out there – after all, there must be a pretty solid reason why he was voted world’s hottest by at least a couple of publications, and good looks alone are only a fraction of it. Now, one lucky fan has the chance of his / her life, as the star is auctioning a workout regime with himself and his personal trainer, AceShowbiz informs.

The actor, who famously got buff for his part as Wolverine in last year’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” is giving one fan the chance of a lifetime by offering himself as a workout partner this fall. Moreover, the fan will also be presented with the opportunity of getting in the boxing ring with Jackman, as part of the same charity campaign. Both offers are up for bidding, with the money going to a program that helps children with learning disabilities.

“Hollywood hunk Hugh Jackman is offering fans the chance to work up a sweat with him in the gym – the ‘X-Men’ star is auctioning off a training session for charity. The highest bidder at the Charitybuzz.com auction will pump iron with Jackman and fitness guru Don Scott of Jim Karas Personal Training during a workout session this autumn,” AceShowbiz informs.

“The winner will also get a chance to enter the ring with the chiseled actor for a boxing workout, directed by former top-ranked middleweight fighter Michael Olajide Jr. Proceeds benefit the Summit School, which is dedicated to enriching the lives of children with learning difficulties,” the same e-zine says, encouraging all those up for a challenge (and some heavy expenditure) to visit the website.

While Jakman is no stranger to charity and campaigns of this type, the most recent one also aims to promote one of his upcoming films, which is centered on boxing. “Real Steal” is scheduled for release towards the end of last year but, for a change, it will not see Hugh Jackman flex his toned muscles because he’s only voicing one of the robots that will.
