He said: 'Michael is one of those actors you have to coax out of the trailer. He'll wait in there for hours and hours.

'To get him out, there was only really one song. We used to get the sound guy to play it very loud in the studio just so he could get his mojo up. It was Blurred Lines.' xxxxxxxx

While on the show, Hugh Jackman also let slip on the show that he had a very intimate injury while on set of the iconic new movie.

He said: 'There was a very intense first scene and I insisted on a closed set. I ran round the corner and all the female members of the crew were gathered there.

'I tried to cover myself and cut my inner thigh - it was just the inner thigh thankfully. The metal claws had to go - you can't have bits and pieces flying off.'

In the latest iconic movie sequel, the X-Men send Wolverine to the past in a desperate effort to change history and stop an event that results in disaster for both humans and mutants.

X-Men: Days Of Future Past will be released in the UK on May 22
