Hugh Jackman Eats The Grossest Thing For His Cheat Day Meal
Hugh Jackman recently shared images of a cheat meal he indulged in while visiting The Waffle House in Norwich, United Kingdom. Although the practice is common for actors who are involved in intense training for a movie, the Aussie native’s choice of a savory waffle topped with pan-fried Norfolk field mushrooms, beef ragu, and cheddar cheese sauce had a lot of fans puzzled.
Hugh Jackman’s disgusting breakfast is confusing fans on social media, with many questioning why he puts mushrooms on his waffles.
The actor followed up the strange combo with a more conventional sweet waffle topped with bananas, toffee, and chocolate. A mixed berry milkshake completed the meal. “Happy cheat meal to me!” Hugh Jackman wrote in the caption. “Nooo! I did not share. And I’m not sorry.” Naturally, the comments section was filled with questions.
“Mushrooms on waffles? Is this the Wolverine diet?” one person asked. Another said, “The third pic is criminal.” People across social media shared the sentiment saying things like, “A cheat meal never includes mushrooms,” and “Sweet waffle, yes! Savory, no!” The dish sparked comparisons to chicken and waffles, with one person encouraging Hugh Jackman to try it “with a side of mashed potatoes.”
I like breakfast cereal at 11 at night, all that kind of easy, simple stuff. In Australia, it’s meat pies.
