Washington, Nov 25 : Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman has said that he found love scenes with his ‘Australia’ co-actor Nicole Kidman awkward, because she’s his wife’s best friend.

The ‘X-Men’ actor also stated that his wife Deborra-Lee Furness and Kidman were roommates when the latter moved to Hollywood to carve a niche as an actress.

"I''ve known Nicole for a long time but to give you some context, when she first came to Hollywood, (she) lived with my wife. Until she lived with Tom (Cruise) she was living with Deb, so they were very close friends, and still are very close friends,” Contactmusic quoted Jackman, as saying.

Meanwhile, Jackman has been named the sexiest man alive. (ANI)
