"I'm looking forward to eating some bread – regularly. I'm actually baking a lot of bread. I'm kidding. No, eating bread without guilt. I'm looking forward to bread without guilt," he told cinema magazine, L'Hebdo Cinema.

"I have probably never worked harder but I never loved playing the character more. I could not be more grateful for this opportunity. I have never had so much fun playing the role" The actor also reveals that he is ready for the life after Wolverine. "I am excited about what's next," he added.
