‘Wolverine’ is now in the Guinness World Records book – well, Hugh Jackman as ‘Wolverine’ is. Guinness World Records announced on their website that the Australian actor’s 16-years as ‘Wolverine’ set the record for ‘longest career as a live-action Marvel superhero.’ It’s a joint record, held with fellow X-Men star Sir Patrick Stewart, who plays Professor Charles Xavier. Interestingly enough, this isn’t the first Guinness attempt for Jackman. When he was a child he and his brother attempted to set records for ‘most coins snatched off the elbow’ and ‘longest marathon playing badminton, singles.
It's been a lifelong dream of @RealHughJackman's to become a world record holder, and today we've confirmed he's officially amazing with his very own @GWR title!
We put @AlisonHammond2 in charge of the celebrations, and she didn't disappoint! 🎉 pic.twitter.com/LMuvn23v4Z
