Hugh JackmanHugh JackmanPhwoar-some Hugh Jackman is known for playing macho roles.

He's starred in X-Men, Van Helsing and Swordfish - all very manly.

We wonder how it felt then, when he was saved from a venemous scorpion...

By a girl.

Step forward superwoman of the day, Nicole Kidman.

While shooting Baz Luhrmann's Australia in both actors' native land, a scorpion came dangerously close to attacking Hugh.

The actor was in the middle of a scene in which he was snuggled up in a sleeping bag.

A source told the Daily Star: "Nicole gasped when Hugh opened the cover invitingly to reveal a poisonous scorpion creeping up his bag.

"She calmly told him not to move, squatted down and scooped the creepy crawly into her hat."

Well done that woman.
