Hugh Jackman has been making waves with his portrayal of Wolverine since 2000 and in these 23 years, the actor has had a fair share of horrifying experiences while performing stunts. However, only one instance left the actor terrified. In one of his earlier interviews, Hugh remembered how he once almost severed his own p*nis while filming X-Men: Days of the Future Past.
While the incident seems terrifying, the Australian star laughed it off while speaking about it, but the situation proved quite intense when it happened on the set. Hugh Jackman told Graham Norton on his talk show, “There was a very intense first scene and I insisted on a closed set.” The actor continued “I ran round the corner and all the female members of the crew were gathered there. I tried to cover myself and cut my inner thigh- it was just the inner thigh thankfully.” ALSO READ | Hugh Jackman And Ryan Reynolds Starrer Deadpool 3 To Be Delayed?

He concluded, “The metal claws had to go, you can’t have bits and pieces flying off.”
Interestingly, Hugh Jackman will soon reprise his iconic role of Wolverine in Deadpool 3 which stars his close friend Ryan Reynolds in a lead role and the excitement around the same has been making the fans go berserk. Deadpool 3 is slated to hit the theatres in May 2024.
Hugh Jackman's costume for his mutant superhero role, Wolverine included long and very sharp metal claws.
During the same interview, the actor also revealed that it took a total of 18 months to gear up for X-Men: Days of the Future Past.
While preparing for his role in The Wolverine (2013) the actor ended up offending the Japanese locals as the actor apparently stripped down at a spa while filming The Wolverine in Japan.
Reminiscing about the same, the Logan star asserted, “I was getting so hot and I’m using the towel they gave me to dip into the cold water and put it on my head, and I was getting extraordinary looks from everybody.” ALSO READ | Hugh Jackman TESTS POSITIVE For Covid-19: Actor’s Broadway Show The Music Man Cancelled Till January 1
He added, “I was feeling uncomfortable and finally, this guy in the tub grunts and points to my head and then grunts and points to my private parts. Finally, I realised the towel was meant to cover my privates.”
