Hugh Jackman almost sliced his penis off with his Wolverine claws.
The 45-year-old actor got himself into a bit of a scrape while wearing his superhero costume, which includes long, metal blades extending from his hands, on the set of 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' when he tried to cover up his manhood from female crew members.
He said: "There was a very intense first scene and I insisted on a closed set. 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! The metal claws had to go - you can't have bits and pieces flying off."
The star made the comment during his appearance on tonight's (02.05.14) episode of 'The Graham Norton Show', where his co-star Michael Fassbender praised Hugh's commitment to his gym routine and admitted his energy was infectious.
Michael said: "His discipline is incredible - he is up and in the gym at 4.30 in the morning, every morning. When we arrived there was a 'Jackman' effect and we all started training to try and keep up."
Hugh spent 18 months in total toning up for his most recent stint as mutant Marvel Comics hero Wolverine, who possesses animal-keen senses and a capacity to heal quickly.

Rihanna took home four prizes at last night's (01.05.14) iHeart Radio Music Awards.
The 'Stay' singer picked up Hip Hop/ R 'n' B Song of the Year for 'Pour It Up' - which she was unable to collect as she was stuck in traffic on her way to the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles -, Song of the Year for 'Stay', Artist of the Year, and Best Fan Army at the first-ever ceremony.
Picking up the award for her fans, who are nicknamed Rihanna's Navy, she said: "This award is for the fans.
"It's not easy, what we do. It's very difficult at times. I never felt comfortable being anything other than myself.
"Rihanna Navy or die."
Meanwhile, Pharrell Williams received the Innovator Award and was honoured by video messages from stars including Beyonce, Oprah Winfrey, Usher, Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato and Shakira.
Beyonce said: "He was the person who made it cool to just be you."
After performing a medley of songs including 'Blurred Lines', 'Get Lucky' and 'Happy', Pharrell was given his award by Gwen Stefani and was visibly emotional as he made his acceptance speech.
He said: "You gotta believe in something bigger than yourself. I never dreamt in a million years as a producer that I would be standing here as an artist."
Other winners included Miley Cyrus, who wasn't at the ceremony so her father Billy Ray Cyrus picked up the Best Lyrics prize for her song 'Wrecking Ball' on her behalf, Lorde, and Blake Shelton.
Musical performers at the ceremony included Pitbull, Luke Bryan, Bastille, 30 Seconds to Mars, Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande, Blake Shelton, Ed Sheeran, Shakira and Arcade Fire, while the late Michael Jackson's new song 'Love Never Felt So Good' got its first airing, with Usher performing to it in tribute.

Hailee Steinfeld has joined the cast of 'Pitch Perfect 2'. The 'True Grit' actress will team up with returning cast members Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and Brittany Snow for the forthcoming sequel, which will mark co-star Elizabeth Banks' directorial ...

Susanna Reid is fearless now she's competed on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The popular breakfast TV host says she'll "never be nervous" again following her appearance on the celebrity ballroom dancing competition, because performing each week to a live audience helped her overcome any worries she had about her new role fronting 'Good Morning Britain'.
She told Radio Times magazine: "I don't dread anything. Even the early morning alarm clock. When you have done 'Strictly Come Dancing' live on a Saturday night in front of millions, I'll never be that nervous again."
Susanna also insists she is looking forward to hearing both positive and negative reviews from viewers of the new morning show, which she hosts with Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins and Sean Fletcher.
She added: "I want to know what people are thinking - I want them to email in, especially if they're not thinking positive things. And audiences are really keen about emailing in and telling you. You get used to that. I love it; people engaging with what you do is what you want as a broadcaster."

Steve Jones thinks 'The X Factor' USA was at its best when he hosted it.
The Welsh hunk, who was famously axed from Simon Cowell's singing competition after just one season in 2011, thinks the first season of the show was better than the two subsequent ones hosted by Mario Lopez.
'The X Factor' USA saw many changes over its three years on air - before being cancelled by FOX earlier this year - but Steve thinks Simon should have stuck with the original judging line-up which consisted of himself, LA Reid, Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul.
He told Star magazine: "I would have stuck with the original cast, but the formula was changed and the American audience didn't embrace it."
Quizzed about his opinion on the show's axe, he added: "I don't really think about it. I enjoyed the first series, then we parted ways. I'm just proud to have been part of the best series."
The 37-year-old star admits he never really got to know Simon Cowell, 54, during his time on the show but has "no hard feelings" about being fired.
He said: "I didn't really hang out with him. He'd go back to his house, chill out, scheme! I've always liked him, though."
Steve, who has now returned to the UK after moving to Los Angeles for the show, says he can't see himself replacing Dermot O'Leary on the UK 'X Factor'.
He explained: "That's Dermot's show. 'The X Factor' didn't set my world alight. Those shows are entertaining but I like to use my brain a bit more."

Peaches Geldof made secret trips to a rehab clinic in the weeks before she died.
The 25-year-old presenter - whose death last month was "likely" due to heroin - was spotted at least six times at the facility in Maidstone, Kent, but her husband Thomas Cohen reportedly didn't know she was visiting the centre to collect prescriptions for methadone, a drug used to help addicts off heroin.
A source who met her at the clinic told The Sun newspaper: "We were on first name terms but I called her 'P'. I last saw her a couple of weeks ago. She was fine, but furtive.
"She used to wear a hoodie to disguise herself. The first time I saw her I thought I recognised her and we just chatted about a few things.
"I said, 'I recognise you from somewhere' and she told me her name was Peaches. That was when it clicked -- Peaches Geldof.
"She said, 'You'd better not say anything to anybody'. She didn't want her husband finding out.
"She said he was completely straight and that her dad would go spare if he knew anything about it.
"She seemed like a really normal girl. To me she was a celebrity."
According to the unnamed insider, Peaches - who had sons Astala, two, and Phaedra, 12 months - claimed her spouse wouldn't "understand" her problem and she worried about the impact it would have on her family life.
The source added: "She said she didn't want her family or her husband to know about the drugs and it was top secret. She used to arrive on her own. She was on a script [prescription] and had to turn up weekly.
"She was most concerned about her husband. She said, 'You won't believe it he's a really straight family man. I married a really straight really nice bloke. He won't understand, it would affect my kids'."
In 2008, Peaches was reported to have stopped breathing after a drugs overdose and had to be revived.
Two years later, an American blogger posted an account of an alleged one night stand with the British star and claimed they had taken heroin together.
Her publicist later denied the allegations.

One Direction's security team want to hire lookalikes of the band members.
The 'Little Things' hitmakers - Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Niall Horan - are being followed by screaming fans everywhere they go on their 'Where We Are' world tour, so their team want to hire decoys to take the pressure off.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Having 1D lookalikes on hand would be great for distracting the fans.
"At the moment it seems to be the only way forward for security and safety on this tour.
"The band already have an unbelievable amount of bodyguards and protection around them but the risks are getting extreme."
The attention they are receiving is said to be much, the group are "nervous" about stepping out in public and no longer feel safe.
The source added: "The boys can't sleep and are nervous about going out. They only feel safe in their private jet."
It was revealed yesterday (01.05.14) that the 'What Makes You Beautiful' stars were forced to change hotels in Peru after police struggled to stop 250 fans from storming their intended accommodation at the Palacio Nazarenas in Cusco.
A source said: "There were hundreds of screaming girls outside the hotel.
"Police were struggling to keep them back and keep them off the road.
"The fans with their posters nearly filled the entire square."

Christina Applegate says she's "more manly" than her 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' co-stars.
The 42-year-old actress reprises her role as Veronica Corningstone in the comedy where she stars opposite Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner and insists they're all "softies".
She said: "These guys are all softies. No machos on this set. I never felt that I was in need of a support group for women. I felt very comfortable with these guys on set. I probably have more manly qualities than most of those guys."
Applegate admits it was hard not to break into laughter on set while she was working with the hilarious guys.
She added: "It wasn't easy [not to laugh], I can tell you that. But at some point you have to remember that you are a professional, and that you need to keep it together. I think I ruined a lot of takes, maybe they'll put those on the DVD, so people can experience how much fun we really had."
'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' is available on digital download, Blu-ray and DVD now.

Katherine Heigl claims it's a "miracle" the puppies she rescued from Russia are alive.
The 35-year-old beauty helped bring two pooches called Sochi and Adler back to America after she realised how unwell they were during the Sochi Winter Olympics, but complications arose when the dogs were found to be suffering from life-threatening diseases during quarantine.
Katherine says they're doing well now and is surprised the dogs are still alive after the whole ordeal.
She explained on US chat show 'The Talk': "It was really intense. I don't know if you watched the Olympics and saw what was going on over there with the animals, but it's equally as bad here.
"We were asked by the NSPCA to help with two puppies. We showed up at the airport and took these dogs.
"We thought the male dog was dead, he wasn't moving, we couldn't rouse him, and we drove immediately to the emergency vet.
"The other little puppy seemed to be in good health, but then she ended up having respiratory problems."
Katherine showed off her new pets on the show and proudly announced: "He was almost dead. It's a miracle he's alive."

Drew Barrymore is focusing on motherhood.
The 39-year-old actress - who gave birth to her second daughter, Frankie, with husband Will Kopelman last month - admits that although she "loves" working on her beauty range Flower, she often works from home so that she can be around her 19-month-old daughter Olive.
Speaking before the birth of Frankie, she said: "With the beauty company, I can work from home sometimes, so I get to spend time with my daughter.
"Even if I had meetings all day, I'm there in the morning and I'm home in time for an early dinner. That is what I want my life to be right now."
The 'Blended' star is also committed to helping less fortunate children and works closely with a charity based in the United States.
In an interview with the new issue of Red magazine, she explained: "I work with a foundation in the US that collects items for young families in need, whether it's diapers, strollers, cribs or clothes.
"The human component is where my heart's drawn to, charity-wise. Babies: that's what gets me."
Drew and Will welcomed baby Frankie on April 22.
The couple said in a statement: "Happy to announce that today we are the proud parents of our second daughter, Frankie Barrymore Kopelman. Olive has a new little sister, and everyone is healthy and happy!"

Biffy Clyro's Simon Neil thinks it will be "wise" for them to take a break from music soon.
The vocalist, guitarist and songwriter for the band has admitted that although they're hoping to put out a new album soon, they're also thinking of taking some time out from the music industry.
He told Xfm radio: "It's probably wise for us to disappear for a wee while, as well. We've had so much love from people and they've been so kind but there's nothing worse than a band that just stays in your face for ages and ages so we'll probably disappear for a while and hopefully you guys will miss us."
The 34-year-old 'Mountains' hitmaker claims he's penned enough tracks for an album already but won't be releasing them for over a year.
He said: "I've written about 14 songs so far. We're kind of doing some demos of them at the moment. The fact that the ball is rolling on this record is very exciting, I think we'll look to record it maybe the start of next year, possibly out for the end of next year."
"To me making a record, it's an ongoing process. You might not be ready to record it in a couple of months but the creativity and the evolution of the band, it picks up exactly where it left off."
Simon and his bandmates - James Johnstone, Ben Johnston, Josh Lowe and Lewis Ingram - will headline the T in the Park festival in Scotland this summer.

Miley Cyrus has postponed the start of the European leg of her 'Bangerz' tour.
The 'Adore You' hitmaker has been forced to reschedule her gigs in Amsterdam and Antwerp after her on-going battle with an allergic reaction took a turn for the worse.
A statement on her website read: "The May 2nd and May 4th Miley Cyrus 'Bangerz' tour dates in Amsterdam and Antwerp have been postponed and rescheduled for Antwerp June 20th and Amsterdam June 22nd."
The 21-year-old singer was hospitalised on April 15 after her body rejected Cephalexin, an antibiotic prescribed for the flu, but just under two weeks later she appeared to be making a good recovery and was discharged from hospital.
However, Miley, who was forced to postpone the US leg of her tour due to the illness, has been banned from travelling by her doctor after her symptoms flared up again recently.
The statement explained: "After a period of improvement, Cyrus' symptoms have returned and Doctor's will not permit her to travel. This type of extreme reaction can last up to 27 days and Cyrus must remain under Doctor's care at this time."
Miley seemed less than impressed when she heard that she couldn't perform for Amsterdam and Antwerp.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday (29.04.14), she tweeted: "R u f**king kidding me?!?!?!?? #aprilcangof**kitself (sic)."
However, it is hoped Miley's UK gig at London's O2 Arena on May 6 will proceed as planned.
