HUGH JACKMAN has been drawing inspiration from acting legend ROBERT DE NIRO for his latest big-screen outing as WOLVERINE in the X-MEN franchise.
The Australian actor, who has already starred in three of the comic book adaptations, will be seen reprising his role as the superhero in the forthcoming picture X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which is due to hit cinemas in May (09).
And Jackman reveals he has based his character on De Niro’s infamous performance as mad man Max Cady in 1991 thriller Cape Fear.
He tells Britain’s Empire magazine, "I had this image in my head of De Niro in that remake of Cape Fear. You were terrified of that character from the moment he took his shirt off - you knew he was this coiled spring that would rip your head off, no matter how nonchalant he acted. That’s who Wolverine is."

SIR MICHAEL CAINE has revealed all about the ending of his cult film THE ITALIAN JOB - solving a 40-year-old mystery that has baffled fans for decades.
Millions of film fans have forever pondered the fate of Caine’s character Charlie Croker, after he and his gang find themselves, and their getaway coach full of gold, teetering on a cliff edge.
The 1969 movie ended with Croker infamously saying, "Hang on a minute, lads.
I’ve got a great idea" - before the credits rolled, leaving fans desperate to find out what happens next.
But Caine finally addressed the mystery when he spoke at the 2008 Visit London Awards on Thursday (27Nov08) - where he was honoured with the London’s Favourite Londoner Award.
He explained how a sequel explaining the ending had been devised - but was ditched at the last minute, leaving fans to think up their own conclusions.
He says, "In the coach I crawl up, switch on the engine, stay there for four hours until all the petrol runs out. The van bounces back up so we can all get out, but then the gold goes over.
"There are a load of Corsican Mafia at the bottom watching the whole thing with binoculars. They grab the gold, and then the sequel is us chasing it."

R&B star SOLANGE KNOWLES is desperate to find a new man - so she can adopt a child.
Beyonce’s younger sister divorced husband Daniel Smith in October 2007 - but the split has not put her off exchanging vows in the future.
She says, "I’d definitely get married again." And Solange, who has a son Daniel Jr. with Smith, would love to follow in the footsteps of stars like Angelina Jolie and Madonna and adopt a child - because growing up with singer Kelly Rowland showed her you don’t need to be blood relatives to form sisterly bonds.
She adds she would love to have more children, "even if it means adopting".
She continues, "If there are two people devoted to nourishing and growing and developing their love for a child, that is a beautiful thing.
"Kelly grew up with me since I was about five years old, so she is my sister.
She didn’t come from my parents, but there is nothing I feel differently for her than my sister. I have definitely explored that option… But I’ve got to find a man first!" Rowland moved in with the Knowles family when she joined forces with Beyonce and pals LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett to form the original line-up of Destiny’s Child in 1990.

COLDPLAY frontman CHRIS MARTIN is reluctant to cook for his family - because his last two attempts have ended in disaster.
The rocker has two children - Apple, four, and Moses, two - with actress wife Gwyneth Paltrow.
But Martin admits he is not particularly domesticated and his culinary skills are his biggest failing - because every time he cooks, the fire brigade turns up outside his house.
He says, "Last year, in an attempt to impress my family, I tried to cook some fish and peas, but I forgot to turn on the vent
. And the thing about our fire alarm is that it’s connected to the fire station.
"So the fire engine comes around, and I was in a panic
. I said, ‘Guys, I’m sorry
. There’s no fire’.
"Then, two months later, I said, ‘Right - I’m gonna have another crack at this’ - and the same thing happened.
"Just as I’m running outside, the fire engine pulls up and the fireman says: ‘Have you been cooking again, Chris?’ So then I had to take a walk because I was a bit shaky
. As it happened, the fire engine was going the same way, and they said, ‘Do you want a lift?’" (AV&LR/WNBTI/MT) WENN - FOURTH - HOLLYWOOD, SHOWBIZ & PEOPLE NEWS - 28 NOVEMBER 2008

MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY has spoken out in defence of the Californian surfers accused of attacking a group of paparazzi while they pursued the actor for a picture.
Two men, Skylar Peak and Philip Hildebrand, are facing charges of misdemeanour battery after allegedly confronting the snappers, who were attempting to photograph McConaughey on a Malibu beach in June (08).
The surfers allegedly threw one paparazzo into the water as he tried to shoot pictures and another photographer claims he was attacked and his camera was thrown into the ocean by the accused.
And now McConaughey has broken his silence about the incident, admitting he can understand why the men reacted the way they did - but he insists he really isn’t bothered by the paparazzi who follow him to the beach.
He says, "That was just a community thing where they felt like there was a little peace disturbance. When I’m surfing I try not to think about (the photographers). They are just capturing a picture. I guess if they start getting on rafts and coming out there in the water, then we’d be in a different position." Both Peak and Hildebrand have pleaded not guilty to the charges. A pre-trial hearing has been set for 14 January (09).
