In a resurfaced 2009 interview with Howard Stern, renowned actor Hugh Jackman discussed his experience while filming the $407 million-grossing X-Men Origins: Wolverine. During the conversation, the Australian actor shed light on a memorable scene that involved him going naked. Jackman revealed his willingness to go au naturel for the sequence depicting Wolverine’s escape from the Weapon X facility after the adamantium bonding process, albeit with one humorous caveat: “The only problem is the PG-13 rating.”
Although none of the n*de shots ultimately made it into the final cut of the film, Jackman shared hilarious anecdotes associated with the shooting of the scenes.
When Marvel actresses and James Marsden’s mother waved dollar bills at Hugh Jackman
During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 1992, Hugh Jackman shared an amusing anecdote from the filming of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The actor delighted the audience with a story about a rather unexpected encounter during the shooting of the Weapon X flashback scene. As he ran through a corridor completely naked and backlit, Jackman turned a corner only to find himself face to face with the female cast members and, to his surprise, James Marsden’s mother.
Their unexpected presence led to a comical and unforgettable moment as they playfully cheered him on, waving dollar bills in a lighthearted show of support. Jackman’s retelling of this hilarious incident showcases the camaraderie and offbeat experiences that can occur behind the scenes of a blockbuster film.
Furthermore, Jackman also shared an intriguing detail about a wrapped gift he received from the director. He explained that his parting present consisted of a bag containing the film footage that had been removed, including frames featuring his n*de scenes. Jackman humorously recalled, “So I’ve got frames of film, like ‘OK, hello!'”

Hugh Jackman took to Instagram to express his astonishment at the presence of the unedited n*de scene on the family-friendly streaming service Disney+. In his Instagram post, Jackman shared a still image of his butt, humorously covered by an emoji, and captioned it,

Ryan Reynolds, a close friend and fellow actor who has engaged in a long-standing playful feud with Jackman, also chimed in, commenting, “Excited for them to do the same for Deadpool. It’s time children knew.” Deadpool, starring Reynolds as the irreverent antihero, received an MA15+ rating in Australia due to its graphic violence, language, nudity, and s*xual references.
Fans also eagerly joined the conversation, noting that X-Men: Days of Future Past also contains the use of the F-bomb, making it possibly the first film on the streaming service to feature such colorful language. Twitter user Empire A. L. C highlighted this, stating,
“X-Men: Days of Future Past is on Disney+ now, but it’s actually left uncensored. This a** scene is left alone, and it’s the first movie on Disney+ to have an F-bomb.”
And hence, the inclusion of X-Men: Days of Future Past in its unedited form on Disney+ sparked conversations among viewers about the platform’s content standards and what other films might follow suit.
