Hugh Jackman has revealed a surprising hobby.

The 55-year-old Australian actor took to Instagram on Wednesday to share his passion for puzzles. 

In a series of amusing clips, the Oscar nominee was seen piecing together a jigsaw puzzle, a far cry from his action-packed on-screen roles.

One particularly entertaining clip shows Jackman sprawled on the floor, wriggling and reaching under furniture in search of a missing piece. 

As he discovered a piece under a table, the Les Misérables star burst into song, singing, Hallelujah!

Unfortunately, his triumph was short-lived as it turned out not to be the elusive final piece. 

Jackman continued his quest, jokingly declaring, 'I'm going to make a piece tomorrow', after another unsuccessful search.

In the end, a photo shared later confirmed that Jackman had indeed completed the puzzle, with all pieces accounted for. 

It comes after Hugh revealed the toughest part of returning to his role as superhero Wolverine in the latest Deadpool film.

The actor reprises the role that made him a household name for the latest installment in the franchise, Deadpool & Wolverine.

Jackman says that as age catches up to him, training to transform himself into the buff big screen beast is tougher than ever.

'The hardest bit … [was] the food,' the Free Guy actor told People magazine this week.

'I have to eat a lot. For me, for my body type, I'm naturally skinny. To get the size on, that's the hardest bit. That's the bit that does my head in.' 

He added: 'My body was a little sore at the beginning, but I was thrilled that my body was still responding. And I realised how good it is for your brain.
