Hugh Jackman is worried about bleeding on stage during his upcoming Broadway play.
The Australian actor is getting ready to portray a man who brings his girlfriend to a remote rural cabin near a river to introduce her to night fishing in 'The River' later this month, and will have to clean, prepare and sauté a real trout on stage during every performance.
The 46-year-old star - who is married to Deborra-Lee Furness - said: "I love the idea of doing all that, in silence and alone, except I'm on stage in front of 750 people."
He added: "I love the power of theatre to create a moment like that - though if I cut myself and start bleeding all over the place it might not be so silent."
The 'Les Miserables' star is excited to be returning to the stage in Jez Butterworth's production, as even though he loves films, he relishes the chance to challenge himself.
Asked about performing live on stage, he said: "It's a love that's never waned since I was five, doing 'Camelot' at my primary school."
He added to the new US issue of Vogue magazine: "This play has been described as a piece of chamber music. I've done musicals and a one-man show and massive, bombastic movies, so it's thrilling to be in something so intimate and filled with so many goose-bump moments."

Ozzy Osbourne says Sharon Osbourne suffered "Exorcist"-like seizures during her treatment for cancer.
The Black Sabbath rocker has confessed he was terrified of losing his loyal wife when she was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2002 because she often suffered violent seizures.
He explained: "Sharon is the strongest woman I know. When I saw the scans of the colon, I thought, 'No way'. The cancer was so aggressive.
"She had three chemotherapies a month and after nine months the side-effects got worse and worse.
"She was having seizures - she was like The Exorcist, bouncing around the bed. I thought I was going to lose her.
"I thought it was all going to be too much for her. Then at the end of the nine months the doctor said, 'She's going to need nine months to get over the chemotherapy'. Her response was, I'm cancer free, great. I'm going shopping'."
However, despite 62-year-old Sharon - who had a double mastectomy in 2012 after learning she carried a gene that increased her risk of developing breast cancer - having won her battle against the disease, Ozzy, 65, is still worried about losing his wife.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I go to AA [Alcoholics Anonymous] meetings at a place close by every lunchtime. I didn't want to but I had to if I wanted to keep my family.
"It's hard. I had a therapist at first but that didn't work so I agreed to try AA."
Ozzy - who is now 19 months sober - added: "Alcoholism is an illness. I don't like going to the meetings but if I don't go I know I will drink again. And I worry about losing everything, so I just don't want to drink anymore."

Casper Smart says it's "hard" being Jennifer Lopez's ex-boyfriend.
The 27-year-old choreographer split from the 'Booty' singer - who he met while working as one of her backing dancers - earlier this year and has confessed it's difficult to get people to take him and his career seriously following the break-up.
He explained: "It's also hard being looked at as, 'You only had that job because you were the boyfriend'.
"So now, standing on the other side, people go, 'Oh, wow, he actually does this for this person, this person and this person'.
"And before Jennifer I did a lot of stuff with a lot of other big artists."
However, Casper - who choreographed the risqué dance moves for Nicki Minaj's controversial 'Anaconda' music video - insists he still keeps in touch with JLo and her twins, daughter Emme and son Maximilian, from her marriage to Marc Anthony.
He told Entertainment Tonight: "We're great friends. I love her and the kids and they're incredible."
Meanwhile, Casper has also come to the defence of his latest client, Ariana Grande, insisting she certainly didn't live up to her "diva" reputation.
He said: "I just did her new music video, 'Love Me Harder', so from the top to the bottom of the day I was right there next to her the whole day and she was sweet as pie."

Mel B plays "dress up" in her old Spice Girls outfits with her friends.
The 39-year-old star has kept all her old clothes and while she and her pals like donning the costumes for fun, her eldest daughter Phoenix, 15, just "laughs".
She said: "I keep everything so on a Friday night when my friends come round we do dress-up.
"I've still got all the old costumes in storage. My eldest daughter Phoenix gets them all out and laughs her head off."
Mel - who also has daughter Angel, seven, with Eddie Murphy, and Madison, three, with husband Stephen Belafonte - also revealed she lets her spouse buy all her accessories because she thinks he has great taste.
She said: "Stephen has an eye for everything. He buys all my shoes and handbags."
The 'X Factor' judge has recently shown off a short, sleek bobbed hair style and says her new look has made her dress in a more feminine way.
She explained to Grazia magazine: "I think with shorter hair you have to be more conscious of what to wear because you don't want to look too boyish. You want to stay looking ladylike."

Suki Waterhouse wants to buy a house with Bradley Cooper.
The 22-year-old model-and-actress - who has been dating the 39-year-old actor since February 2013 - is ready to settle down with Bradley and has reportedly started looking for a new love nest for them.
A source told the new US issue of OK! magazine: "Suki is in love with Bradley, and she wants a place for them to share."

The source added: "Suki is aware that she needs to tread carefully ... she's trying to figure out how to make it work for everyone. Suki knows Bradley wants to take care of his mom, but he's almost 40, and she wants them to start sharing their lives, like any normal couple."
Suki recently admitted she is desperate to "settle down" and make a permanent home for herself.
She said: "I don't really live anywhere. We're travelling gypsies - it's wherever we're working. But I'm desperate to have a home. I'm saving, but it's hard because of the online shopping ... I'm addicted, it's something about the packages arriving."
Bradley also recently expressed his desire to settle down with Suki and wants to start a family
He said: "I would love to be a father one day. I'm sorry my father won't be around to see his grandchildren, but he knows fatherhood was something I was looking forward to. That's my next big step in life."

Tori Spelling's husband insists he isn't "a monster."
Dean McDermott, who has been battling to save his marriage to the former 'Beverly Hills 90210' actress since he had a two-day fling with a waitress late last year, says he only cheated on her because he was insecure.
The 'Chopped Canada' host, who sought treatment in rehab for sex addiction in December, told 'ET Canada': "The affair was more about how I was feeling about myself than having an affair.
"I messed up and I'm owning up to it and I'm getting help. But to label me a monster or evil is very hurtful."
He added: "You know, I'm not the first person to ever cheat on his wife."
But the 41-year-old actress, who is currently in hospital in Los Angeles, hinted she is might be preparing to split from Dean, with whom she has four children, Liam, seven, Stella, five, Hattie, three, and Finn, two.
The blonde beauty shared a photograph of herself in bed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, with the caption: "This sick in hospital I finally see how quickly life can take it all away frm you. We all need 2 step up frm inside& go 4 it! W/our friends by our side. Sadly I've finally faced truth that 1 person will never be there 4 me #TrueTori (sic)"
Dean blames their upcoming reality TV series for her health problems.
He said: "The show we're shooting is obviously very emotional. It's six days a week. It finally caught up with her and took its toll, so she has bronchitis, sinusitis and pneumonia and she's getting great care at the hospital."

Rumer Willis is "blown away" by her younger sister's strength.
The 26-year-old star, who is the eldest daughter of Demi Moore and ex-husband Bruce Willis, is very proud of Tallulah Willis for getting her life back on track following her recent stint in rehab.
The actress told PEOPLE.com: "I've actually been so impressed and blown away by her strength and her openness and willingness. Not only to move past things but also to share herself with other people."
She added: "The best thing you can do for anyone in your life that you know is struggling with anything is just to be supportive and not abandon them. Because I think that's the hardest thing, when you're going through something and you feel alone and you feel like people don't have your back."
The 20-year-old blogger, who spent six weeks in rehab shortly after admitting she battled an eating disorder and body dysmorphia when she was younger, is now doing "really well" and recently celebrated 90-days of sobriety.
Rumer, who also has sister Scout, 23, and spent much of her childhood in Idaho, believes Tallulah's problems stem from growing up in Hollywood.
She said: "When you grow up like we do, everyone has an opinion of you. Everyone wants to put you in a particular box."

Usher has a "man-to-man" relationship with Justin Bieber.
The 36-year-old singer admits he can be very tough on the 20-year-old star and doesn't always approve of his behaviour, but tries to be supportive.
The 'Good Kisser' hitmaker said: "I can say I'm not happy with all the choices my friend has made, but I'm supportive of him. He's making his own decisions and it's important to show support."
He added: "Our relationship is more man-to-man now. I try my hardest to give as much positive reinforcement as I can. I'll punch him in the f**king chest when I need to, and give him a hug and kiss when I need to."
Usher has worked with the Canadian star since he was a young teenager, but told Billboard magazine their relationship isn't just professional.
He said: "It's more than just mentoring. I love the kid."
The 'OMG' hitmaker rushed to Justin's defence earlier this year after a video emerged of him singing the N word repeatedly in a song when he was 14.
He said at the time: "As I have watched Justin Bieber navigate difficult waters as a young man, I can tell you that he hasn't always chosen the path of his greatest potential, but he is unequivocally not a racist.
"What he was five years ago was a naive child who did not understand the negative power and degradation that comes from playing with racial slurs. What he is now is a young man faced with an opportunity to become his best self, an example to the millions of kids that follow him to not make the same mistakes."
