Hugh Jackman has given himself a makeover as he prepares for single life.

The Wolverine star revealed his manscaping regime to followers after getting fresh-faced at his local barber in New York.

The 55-year-old looked chuffed with the results as he showed off the before and after look to his 31 million Instagram followers.

Jackman first showed his dishevelled beard in the chair.

He was later beaming over his neat and tidy stubble as he took a selfie on the pavement in the Big Apple.

The sighting came as his fans were thrilled to learn he appears in season seven of animation Rick and Morty.

His voice appears in the first episode of the cartoon’s new season, playing a drugged-up, zany version of himself.

The Hollywood actor — who announced his split from wife Deborra-Lee Furness, 67, last month — is also said to be in the early stages of telling his life story in a new book as he moves forward following the end of his 27-year marriage.

An insider told Us Weekly: “Hugh is currently working on a memoir. He is in the early stages of writing it . . . Hugh’s choosing to (write the book) now because he’s finally (being) honest with himself (and) the divorce and this book is the first step.”

The source suggested there will be “big bombshells”, adding: “The content will be Hugh speaking about his life. He’ll be opening up about his life like never before. It’s been very healing for him.”

Jackman and Furness — who are parents to Oscar, 23, and 18-year-old Ava — confirmed their split in a joint statement last month.

They told People magazine: “We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.

“Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness.

“We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”

The pair signed off as “Deb and Hugh Jackman” and concluded: “This is the sole statement either of us will make.”
