Washington, Apr 28: Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman was handed a stash of nude footage cut from his new film X-Men Origins by director Gavin Hood.

The Australian star was required to shoot a lot of stunts in X-Men’s sequel in the buff.

After his more intimate areas were hidden for the final cut, Hood handed Jackman the X-rated extras for his own personal use.

"Our director gave me a little bag and inside it were about eight bits of film, all cut (from the movie). I said, ''That’s interesting,'' then I held it up to the light and I said, ''OK, now I know why that’s in a bag!''" Contactmusic quoted Hugh, as saying.

"Now it’s in my safe somewhere. My privates in a bag,” Hugh added. (ANI)
