Aussie heartthrob Hugh Jackman shocked locals at a Japanese spa after walking around naked for an hour with nothing but a beer in his hand.
The incident took place last year when Hugh, 44, took time out from filming his new movie, The Wolverine, to visit a traditional hot springs at the base of Mount Fuji.
The hunky actor didn’t realise the washcloth he was handed upon entry was a modesty towel to cover up his nether regions.
“The place is separated male and female and they hand you a towel, a small washcloth, and there are eight different types of tubs with heats of different temperatures,” says Hugh.
“I’m 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 very strange looks from everybody.”
The Golden Globe-winner at first assumed the looks he was getting were due to being the only white person in the spa.
“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,” Hugh explains.
“Finally I realised the towel was meant to be covering my privates and I’d spent about an hour just waltzing around this place with this thing in one hand and a beer in my other!” .
While this little mishap may have outraged a few modest Japanese fans, we’re guessing it will do very little to harm his new film at the box office.
