Los Angeles - Hugh Jackman keeps film footage of him naked locked in a safe.
The Australian actor exposed himself several times while filming a particular scene for his new movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
None of the takes could be used in the final cut, as the film has a PG13 rating in the US, meaning it has to be suitable for anyone over the age of 13 to watch.
"It's easy to jump off a waterfall naked, but for a PG-13 movie?! It took a lot of choreography," said Hugh, 40.
"After we finished filming our director gave me a small little bag and inside it where about eight bits of film, all cut. I said, 'That's interesting', then I held it up to the light and I said, 'Okay, now I know why that's in a bag!' Now it's in my safe somewhere - my private parts in a bag!"
Hugh, who plays the lead role of Wolverine in the film, also told how his son, Oscar, eight, uses his father's fame to his own advantage.
"He said to me the other day, 'Dad, two o'clock, hot chick.' He walks over, and I heard him say, 'Hey, my dad's Wolverine.' That's his opening line," he said.
"He brings them over and asks, 'Dad, can we have a few autographs for the girls?' I'm like, 'Am I pimping for my kids?'"
