London, April 19: Actor Hugh Jackman accidentally stabbed a stunt woman in the arm while shooting a fight scene for his film `X-Men Origins: Wolverine`.The Australian actor had to wear real metal talons while filming the comic book blockbuster and admitted that handling the prop was quite dangerous.

Jackman disclosed one incident which left Rebecca Romijn`s stunt double seriously hurt - forcing moviemakers to rethink how to film the scenes involving the superhero`s famous claws, the Contactmusic.com reported. "On the very first film we had real metal claws and the girl who was playing Mystique, Rebecca Romijn, her stunt double and I were doing a fight sequence in the Statue of Liberty. I went to stab her in the arm, which was part of the choreography, and she`s meant to move her arm away and she forgot and the thing went right into her arm, like an inch," Jackman said. "I was stunned. It was one of those things, it was so deep, there was a hole, there was no blood coming out and then like a minute later, it was like a geyser. I didn`t faint and I thought she was going to freak out, but she just said, `Yes! I have been stabbed by Wolverine!` Typical stuntwoman," actor added. Jackman`s latest offing as the superhero, X-Men Origins: Wolverine hits cinema screens on 1 May. Bureau Report
