Hugh Jackman explains the reason behind his decision to hang up his adamantium claws. During a visit to "Live! with Kelly and Michael", the actor known for his role as Wolverine in "X-Men" movie series reveals he decided to leave the franchise after having a chat with Jerry Seinfeld.

"I was having a chat with him about a year ago at his birthday and he was talking about why he finished [Seinfeld] and how it was riding high, and he said he just always had this feeling or belief that you never know when either your energy or the audience's energy is going to dip over and people are like, 'Please! Go!' " he opened up.

The Australian star went on, "I've been doing it for 17 years, I love it. I think the movies are getting better. And all of the sudden, as he was talking to me, I went, 'This is it'."
