On February 1, Brazilian voice actor Isaac Bardavid passed away at the age of 91. The late actor, writer, and vocal artist was best known for voicing Wolverine in the X-Men cartoon series and dubbing Hugh Jackman in the movies.
The late nonagenarian passed away from emphysema, for which he was hospitalized in Rio de Janeiro. His lung condition caused shortness of breath and low oxygenation.
News of his demise was reportedly announced by his grandson, John, on social media. Following the announcement of his death, Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman posted condolences on his social media for the late actor. The Australian star also shared a video of them together, reciting Wolverine's phrase from the last X-Men movie that featured the character.
In the video, Jackman embraces Bardavid as he said the X-Men character's phrase, "Don't be what they made you." The Rio de Janeiro native then repeated the phrase in Portuguese. Jackman also praised the voice actor's performance, saying that it was "so good."
