Hugh Jackman had a close call and "almost" castrated himself by 'Wolverine claws' while "X-Men" shoot, it has been revealed.

According to a UK publication, the 45-year-old actor who plays the character of Wolverine in the franchisee revealed during an appearance on 'The Graham Norton Show' that while filming a scene on a closed set he cut his inner thigh, New York Post reported.

Thankfully, it was just the thighs but the metal claws were removed thereafter since it wasn't safe, he added.

The actor will soon be seen in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' which releases this summer.
