“Yeah like the security guard is gonna stop Wolverine. Merry Christmas!” one said about his famous X-Men character.

“Nobody can’t stop Wolverine!!!” added another.

“How naughty Hugh, that’s too funny,” a user said.

“🎄Merry Christmas Eve!” he simply said.

It marks his first Christmas since his split from wife Deborra-Lee Furness in September.

The couple went on to unfollow one another on their social media accounts.

“Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”
