Actor Hugh Jackman faced an embarrassing situation in Japan when he stripped down in a spa to relax, but realised it was not a usual thing there.
Jackman was shooting for his upcoming movie "The Wolverine" when he decided to take some time off to unwind and went to a spa.
"I was getting so hot and I'm using the towel they gave me to dip into the cold water and put it on my head, and I was getting very strange looks from everybody," thesun.co.uk quoted Jackman as saying.
The actor did not realise what was wrong until a local resident pointed out the problem.
"I was feeling uncomfortable and finally this guy in the tub grunts and points to my head and then grunts and points to my private parts," Jackman said.
"Finally, I realised the towel was meant to be covering my privates. I'd spent about an hour just waltzing around this place with this thing in one hand and a beer in my other," he added.
