Hugh Jackman may be known for his iconic portrayal of Wolverine, but even this Hollywood heavyweight has had his fair share of embarrassing moments.
One such instance occurred while filming an intimate scene with Jennifer Garner in their film Butter. Jackman candidly shared how the unconventional setup left him feeling utterly humiliated—but also relieved.
While Hugh Jackman’s impressive career spans acting, singing, and dancing, the Aussie star is most beloved for his portrayal of the fierce mutant Wolverine.
His return in the latest Marvel film, alongside Jennifer Garner as Elektra, thrilled fans and helped the movie rake in over $1.3 billion worldwide.
But before all that, Hugh had to tackle a love scene in Butter that was, as he described, unlike any other.
“There was one scene where we make out in a car, but it’s never seen—you can only hear it. I’ll never forget this,” he shared. “The sound guy, the director, me, and Jen Garner got into a car to make these love-making sounds.”
What made the situation worse? They discovered that both couldn’t record at the same time. Hugh said,
“One had to perform, then the other… and I’m really glad she went first because I never would’ve gone as far as she did unless she had.” The relief was real, but so was the embarrassment. “I don’t think I’ve ever been more embarrassed in my life,” he admitted.
Despite the awkwardness, Hugh Jackman had a blast working with Jennifer Garner. They reunited for the highly successful Deadpool & Wolverine movie, which continues to dominate the box office.
